She designed a series\nof ball gowns inspired by cancer\ncells; she hopes in turn the\ndresses will inspire those who\nare battling cancer.\n\"Fashioning Cancer: The\nCorrelation Between Destruction and Beauty\" is a project that\naims to open up dialogue about\nthe disease, including its effects\non body image. Firkins said\nthere is the \"need for beauty\nwhen we're faced with mortality.\"\n\"It's my first time doing something like this. Most of my work\nis in the theatre where we have a\nscript, we all work together, we\nput on a show, and that's it,\" said\nFirkins, who received her BA\nfrom Drew University in New\nJersey, MFA from Yale School of\nDrama and is in her first year of\nteaching at UBC.\nFirkins searched for a way\nto convey her artistic work in a\nresearch capacity. She had been\nlooking for a grant opportunity,\nand she came across the Peter\nWall Institute for Advanced\nStudies' research mentoring\nprogram, which aims to provide\nfaculty associates with the\nchance to work with veteran\nUBC scholars on collaborative\ninterdisciplinary studies.\nShe wanted to collaborate\nwith someone from a completely different field. She chose to\nwork with Christian Naus, a\nprofessor in the Faculty of Medicine. On his website, she found\nimagery of cancer cells under a\nmicroscope.\n\"I immediately thought that\n[these pictures] would translate\ninstantly into fashion. I had such\na sense of artistry about it.\"\nShe incorporated the images into her designs for the 10\ndresses that form the core of her\nproject. Each one varies uniquely in style, colour and pattern\nin order to match each different\ntype of cell. \"It's art; it's not just\nscience!\"\nA large influence on Firkins'\nchoice to use cancer cell imagery\nwas her personal connection to\nthe illness. \"I have a few friends\nwho've gone through cancer,\"\nshe said. \"Fortunately, most of\nthem are still in my life, but not\nall of them.\n\"What I really do well is\ndesign and create clothes, so I\nthought this might be a really\ninteresting way to do something\nthat's very much across disciplines, uses my skill set, but also\njust creates something that can\ngenerate conversation about\ncancer.\"\nThe project has received a\ngreat deal of positive feedback.\n\"Already, people have started\ntelling me their stories, and it's\nbeen phenomenal,\" said Firkins.\nMany have also shared with her\ntheir opinions on self image, and\ntheir changed outlooks on life\nand organizations such as Pink\nRibbon, which supports breast\ncancer patients.\nI have a few friends\nwho've gone through\ncancer. Fortunately,\nmost of them are still\nin my life, but not all of\nthem.\nJacqueline Firkins\nUBC costume design professor\nApart from the primary goal\nof opening dialogue, Firkins\nhopes her project can also raise\nmoney toward battling the disease. In the upcoming months,\nshe hopes to find a sponsor and\nvenue to hold an auction for the\ndresses. The money may then be\ndonated to such causes as cancer\nresearch, counselling services,\nor even to individuals with\nunique cases.\nCreating a website to serve as\na space for public commentary\non her project and for people to\nshare their own stories may be\nin the works too.\nWhether she carries on work\nin raising awareness for the\ncorrelation between cancer\nand body image, or moves on to\ncreate more costumes inspired\nby disease research, Firkins is\nhoping her project will \"have a\nlife beyond this semester.\" XI\nw 3,924 people have done it\n' Like us on Facebook to get first access to our stories,\ncontests, photo galleries and more.\nfacebook.com/\nubyssey\nITHE\nUBYSSEY // News\n/ILL MCDONALD + SARAH BIGAM\nUBC PRESIDENT \u00C2\u00BB\nArvind Gupta named next president\nPHOTOS GEOFF LISTER/THE UBYSSEY\nArvind Gupta, right, will succeed Stephen Toope, left, as UBC president. Board chair John Montalbano (centre) hosted the announcement.\nWill McDonald\nNews Editor\nArvind Gupta, director of\nMitacs and a UBC computer\nscience professor, will be UBC's\nnext president.\nGupta will replace current\npresident Stephen Toope on July\n1, at which point he will begin his\nfive-year term in office.\n\"There's nothing more humbling than following in the footsteps of president Stephen Toope,\"\nGupta said at the announcement\nthis morning. \"He's a role model\nnot just for us, but for any university president.\"\nAnimal research protestors\ninterrupted the announcement,\nstanding up as Gupta was introduced and chanting, \"Stop the\ntorture! Stop the pain! UBC is to\nblame!\" They chanted again during Gupta's speech.\nGupta has a bachelor's degree in\nscience from McMaster University, as well as a master's degree\nand a PhD from the University of\nToronto. He's been at UBC since\n2009 and specializes in algorithmic issues in bioinformatics. He\nhas three daughters, two of whom\nare UBC students.\nThe search committee tasked\nwith finding the new president\nunanimously approved Gupta as\ntheir choice.\n\"He is profoundly committed\nto the mission of the university\nand I know that he will help us\nall together drive UBC to even\ngreater achievements,\" said Toope.\n\"I think we should be thrilled with\nthis appointment. I am, person-\nally.\"\nIn addition to his role at Mitacs\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 the Mathematics of Information Technology and Complex,\na national research organization \u00E2\u0080\u0094 Gupta is a member ofthe\nGovernment of Canada's Science,\nTechnology and Innovation\nCouncil and serves on the Canadian Mining Innovation Council,\namong other bodies.\n\"This is a world where the very\nnature of interaction and learning,\nresearch and work is morphing\nbefore our very eyes. It's a world\nwhere networks, knowledge and\nideas are supplanting traditional\ncurrencies as measure of empowerment, wealth and well-being,\" said Gupta. \"Our universities\nare at the vanguard of this change\nand none is better positioned to\nhandle that change than UBC.\"\nGupta is optimistic about the\nuniversity's government relations\nand potential to influence public\npolicy.\n\"I never see it as lobbying....\nI think our relationships with\ngovernments have to be partnerships,\" Gupta said in an interview\nafter the announcement. \"I've\nalways believed that governments\nare there to try and build the best\nsociety they can, so the question is,\nhow do we contribute to that?\"\nGupta said his background\nin computer science will help\nhim understand new flexible\nlearning technologies.\n\"Technology is really changing\nthe world around us ... and I think\nthat we should really embrace\ntechnological change in the higher\neducation system,\" said Gupta.\n\"When the printing press came\nout, I'm sure there were monks\nthinking, 'Boy, I'm about to lose\nmy job.' Really what it did was\nopen up knowledge ... just like\ntechnology is opening up the\nworld.\"\nGupta was supportive of\nToope's strategic plan, Place and\nPromise, particularly the flexible\nlearning component of it.\n\"There's very good long-term\noutcomes and when I see Place\nand Promise, there's a lot of\ninitiatives going on at UBC to try\nand boost experiential learning\nfor students,\" said Gupta. \"That's\nsomething I really see eye to eye\non.\"\nAlthough Toope has adopted a\nstaunch stance, Gupta has his own\nTwitter account.\n\"If I read an interesting article\nand I want to share that with\npeople, I use Twitter to say, hey,\nhere's something really interesting\nthat you might want to read. It's a\nway of getting timely information\nlike that out,\" said Gupta.\nGupta said his immediate goals\ninclude meeting with as many\npeople as possible to get up to\nspeed on the issues the president\ndeals with.\n\"I was just talking with Stephen\n[Toope] about this. His advice was\nto decompress a bit, step away\nfrom all this and relax, because\nwhen July comes there'll be lots to\ndo,\" said Gupta.

However,\nthe schedule of those payments\nremains uncertain.\nUBC researchers have been\nusing the facility free of charge\nsince it was completed in 2011 on\nAnnacis Island, next to the waste\nwater treatment plant. Minutes\nfrom the recent board meeting\nindicate that Metro is hoping \"to\nnegotiate retroactive payment for\nthe use ofthe centre prior to 2014.\"\nBut UBC's associate director of\nstrategic partnerships, Iain Evans,\nbelieves UBC should not have to\npay the full $90,000 per year dating back to 2011, as there was little\nresearch activity at that time.\n\"There will be retroactive payment that will take place. I think it's\nfair that UBC researchers pay for\nwhat they used,\" said Evans. \"But\nthe reality is there wasn't $90,000\nworth of research going on in 2011.\nIt would be odd to backdate it all the\nway back to 2011 and pay for things\nthat UBC didn't actually use.\"\nEvans said the six-year contract\nwill expire in 2017 if it is retroactive to 2011, which would cut\nthe remaining time the university\nhas to make use ofthe facility. He\nsaid UBC's proposal is to begin the\npayments for 2013.\nThe Annacis Wastewater Centre\nwas conceived in 2006 as one\nof five sustainability academies\nThe wastewater centre is located on Annacis Island, between Richmond and Delta.\nthat would train students to find\ninnovative solutions to regional problems like waste water\nmanagement. The facility cost\n$9 million to build, two thirds of\nwhich was paid for by federal and\nprovincial grants.\nUBC initially considered a\ncontribution of $1 million to the\nproject, but according to Michael\nIsaacson, dean ofthe Faculty of\nApplied Science at the time, no\nformal agreement was made.\nIn 2011, UBC committed to half\nof their original proposal in a new\nagreement, but Metro only realized UBC would not be pledging\n$1 million in late 2013. Soon after,\nplans for the four other academies\nwere shelved.\nThe Annacis centre is now operating at a $390,000 annual deficit.\nWhite Rock mayor Wayne Baldwin said the deficit has occurred\nbecause the facility is underused.\n\"They have staff there who supposedly operate and promote it as\na place for conferences or meeting\nspaces and they're not bringing\nin very much,\" he said. \"It's not\nan attractive place to be, next to a\ntreatment plant.\"\nEvans said the centre could still\nbecome profitable if it were rented\nGRAPHIC MING WONG3THE UBYSSEY\nout to private enterprises doing\nwaste water research.\n\"UBC isn't the only institution\nin town that does research,\" he\nsaid. \"I think there's a real opportunity to turn the centre into quite\nan entrepreneurial little hub that\nwould generate revenue based on\nrenting out the pretty impressive\nresearch infrastructure that they\nhave.\"\nBaldwin disagrees, saying the\ninstitution will never make back\nwhat it cost to build.\n\"I'm not thinking that there's\nmuch chance for it to be profitable.\" XI\nNEWS BRIEFS\nProfessors oppose Fair\nElections Act\n160 professors from Canadian universities signed a letter published in the\nNational Post on Tuesday criticizing\nthe proposed Fair Elections Act on\nseveral fronts. Fourteen UBC professors were among them.\nThe lettersaid the bill would disenfranchise certain groups of citizens\nand favour larger and incumbent\nparties. The letter also expressed\nconcerns aboutthe lackof consultation in drafting the bill.\n\"While we agree that our electoral\nsystem needs some reforms, this\nbill contains proposals that would\nseriously damage the fairness and\ntransparency of federal elections and\ndiminish Canadians' political participation,\" the lettersaid.\nThree UBC employees in top 20\npublic sector earners\nThree UBC employees were among\nthe20 public sector employees with\nthe highest salaries in B.C. in the\n2012-2013 fiscal year.\nAccording to the Vancouver\nSun's database, which includes\nbonuses and vacation pay, UBC\nPresident Stephen Toope is the\nllth-highest paid public sector\nemployee in the province.\nDean of Medicine Stuart Gavin\nand radiology professor Frangois\nBenard placed 13th and 16th,\nrespectively.\nForty-six ofthe top 50 highest\npaid workers in the university sector work at UBC.

But\notherwise, their routine is simple. \"We all show up, drink beer,\nthen there is always one person that is really late and then we\nall get anxious waiting for them,\" said Gorwa.\nThen, after a huddle, they're ready to perform \u00E2\u0080\u0094 not just\nfor the show, it seems, but in their style.\n\"Just getting bigger and better from here \u00E2\u0080\u0094 that's where\nit's going,\" affirmed Awrey.\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094Tom Spano\nJaguar can be found on their Facebook page.\n=HOTOCOURTESYJAGUAR\n=HOTO CARTER BRUNDAGEJTHE UBYSSEY\nFINAL\nSHOWDOWN\nThe New Atlas\ncharts a course\nfor the wild\nDid you ever hear of an album recorded in a barnyard, complete with\nchickens and cats?\nUBC's very own folk band, the New Atlas, has done just that. The\nband was founded over a year ago when Cam Reed, Jodi Bagge and Luc\nGloanec met at Trinity Western University. Even though the band is relatively\nnew, they have performed at many events and are about to release their second EP.\nTheir music is rich, yet simplistic. \"Even though the music is written by different writers coming from different places, there is a common theme of trying to make sense of relationships in the\nworld,\" said Gloanec, the guitarist, vocalist and banjoist for the New Atlas. \"Our values, things\nwe hold important to us, and where we stand in the world and its conflicts.\"\nThe Barnyard Session, the band's first EP, conjures the illusion of a Utopian world. It makes\nthe listener feel like a hobbit living in the Shire, where dancing and drinking wine are the only\ntasks in the schedule. But the EP evokes a sense of emptiness \u00E2\u0080\u0094 much like how one would feel\nafter a rewarding backpacking trip.\nThrough musical collaborations, members ofthe New Atlas have established a special bond\nwith each other. \"To me, music is the last bash of spirituality in our society. We can achieve a\nconnection that can be transformative,\" Gloanec said. \"[Music has] changed me by giving me an\noutlet to create art and share\nwhat I believe to be true and\nbeautiful.\"\nThe band is becoming more\nand more active; their list of\nto-dos includes releasing a\nnew EP, touring B.C., making\nmusic videos, and recording\nmore music.\nThe New Atlas is not nervous about their performance\nin the upcoming finale of the\n2014 AMS Last Band Standing competition. Instead of\nbeing concerned about their\nperformance, they are more\nintrigued by the \"relational\naspect of live performances, in\nterms ofthe music, audiences,\nband members and how everything works out beautifully,\"\nsaid Gloanec.\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094JolinLu\nThe New Atlas can be found on\nPHOTO COURTESYTHE NEW ATLAS FaCebOOk.\nOn the evening of March 13th, four UBC-based bands \u00E2\u0080\u0094 each\nwith their own style, attitude and sound \u00E2\u0080\u0094 will compete in the\nfinale of the annual AMS Last Band Standing competition in the\nPit Pub. Over 8,000 students voted online during the first round\nof the competition last week, in which six competitors, selected\n:ens of submissions, streamed their music videos over\nburveymonkey. The winner of tonight's battle royale, who will be\nselected by a jury of industry specialists, will receive a variety\nof prizes, including a live video recording session, airtime on\nCiTR, and most coveted of all, a spot on the lineup forthe\nAMS Block Party.

However, there is one venue that particularly stands out in\nAbdullah's mind.\n\"We played at Science World about a year ago,\" he said. \"There was a huge event that Science World was putting on and a whole bunch of people [came to] it. That was really fun.\"\nNo matter where they are playing, Room 202 hopes to transfer the passion they put into\ncreating their music to their audience in an effort for the band and crowd to travel far together.\n\"We really like to display our passion on stage,\" Abdullah said. \"We like to make sure that\nwe're having a good time and that our audience is having a good time. We really put effort into\nthat.\"\nIndeed, passion seems to be incredibly important to Room 202, but becoming deeply embedded in their music does not come without its string\nof challenges. For Abdullah, balancing a heavy course load with the\nresponsibilities of a band is sometimes a very difficult task.\n\"I'm in engineering,\" he said. \"It takes a lot of time, but I also\nhave to put my time into music. It's a passion of mine, as well.\"\nRegardless ofthe challenges that come with being both a\nstudent and musician, Abdullah encourages other local bands\nto keep their passion going.\n\"There's no such thing as perfect, but if you keep practicing, that's what really matters.\"\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094Marlee Laval\nRoom202 can be found on Facebook or on Soundcloud.\nRebel on a\nMountain\nROAMs free\nVancouver-based indie folk band Rebel on a Mountain has\ndefinitely gone through its share of changes since their formation\nin 2012.\nWith a series of lineup changes and genre evolutions, the group, commonly known as ROAM, is excited to showcase these changes at the Last\nBand Standing finale this Thursday.\n\"We're basically Rebel on a Mountain 2.0,\" said lead vocalist Kristian Wagner, a UBC\nstudent studying political science.\n\"I feel like we've gone through a lot of different stages,\" Wagner said. \"[Initially our\nmusic] was very technically driven...

It's goingto be exciting to see how\npeople receive it.\"\nThe chance to win Last Band Standing and earn a slot at this year's Block Party is a big\ndeal for ROAM, considering that they would be playing at the same show as one of their\nbiggest influences, Vancouver local and Block Party headliner Dan Mangan.\n\"A bunch of the guys in the band have had chance encounters with him because they work\nin coffee shops,\" Wagner said, laughing. \"He's randomly come into their coffee shops and\nthey get super nervous and fangirly.\"\nLeading up to the release of their Kalendar EP last year and now their finalist spot at Last\nBand Standing, ROAM has learned about the sense of vulnerability that is required to grow\nboth musically and personally.\n\"Everyone has to check their egos at the door as soon as they enter practice. It's a very\nspecial and humbling experience,\" Wagner said. \"It's a toiling process, but at the same time,\nit's super exciting and one of the things that I personally enjoy the most. It's not just musical\ndevelopment; it's also getting to know yourself as an individual.\"\nCiting their friends, family and\nthe Blank Vinyl Project as their\nbiggest support systems, ROAM\nhopes other local bands will be\nable to find the support and confidence that will get them far.\n\"There is so much excess talent,\nespecially in Vancouver ... that\nreally just doesn't get showcased\nor displayed the way that it\ndeserves to be,\" Wagner said. \"I\nhope that people can feel confident that they can do something\nwith their music.\" 'tJ\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094Marlee Laval\nROAM can be found on Facebook\nor on Bandcamp.\nEBELONA\ngUNTAIN\nPHOTO STEPHANIEXIVTHE UBYSSEY CULTURE I THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 2014\nThe marvellous life and curious\ndeath of the Japadog vendor at UBC\nJapan Association raises funds for earthquake\nJESSICA-CHRISTIN\ni HAMETNER\nFood\nI must admit, I have a love-hate\nrelationship with hotdogs. The\nthought of a greasy sausage topped\nwith oily onions and a dollop or two\nof mustard and ketchup stuffed into\na bun certainly does have its appeal.\nUntil now, I believed this was the\nonly kind available, until I was told\nabout Japadog, a curious fusion\nof Japanese- and Canadian-style\nhotdogs. I was intrigued.\nJapadog first started in 2005\nwhen an ambitious Japanese couple\nbegan selling regular hotdogs on\nthe streets of Vancouver, as a man\nknown simply as Hide, Japadog's\nhotdog stand manager, explained.\nWith a flair for creativity and ambitious dreams, it was their homeland,\nJapan, which inspired the couple to\nadd a tempting twist to an all-time\nfavourite street food: traditional\nJapanese flavours. Tastes such as\nterimayo were fused with local\nBC ingredients, buns and sausages\nwere especially crafted to suit the\nunique Japanese hotdog, and so, the\nJapadog was born.\nUBC's Japan Association (JA) is\ncelebrating its 50th anniversary this\nyear by hosting a food festival from\nMarch 10 to 14 in conjunction with\nJapadog. While the festival is aimed\nat foodies, it's the JA's philanthropic\nspirit that shines.\n\"We wanted something big and\nfun that would also raise awareness,\nso we are collecting donations for\nthe 3/11 earthquake that happened\nthree years ago in Japan. Part of\nthe profits that we earn will go\ntowards the recovery and some of\nthe programmes that are involved\nwith helping the people that are still\naffected,\" said Mio Tomisawa, of\nthe JA.\nTomisawa said more than\n100,000 people continue to be\naffected bythe Tohoku earthquake,\nliving in temporary housing due to\nthe damage caused by the tsunami.\nLife continues to be a daily struggle\nfor many in Fukushima, despite the\nearthquake having occurred three\nyears ago.\nTo help out, students could\nsavour Japadogs including the juicy\nkurobuta terimayo, listed on the\nmenu as \"one ofthe must-eat items\nin the world,\" or alternatively, enter\nan instant raffle to win popular\nJapanese snacks such as Pocky.\n\"The reason why we still wanted\nto support the Tohoku people was\nILLUSTRATION INDIANAJOELJTHE UBYSSEY\nThe Japan Association was selling Japadogs outside of the Abdul Lhada building this\nweek, until the operation was shut down by CU PE 116.\nthe fact that JA believes in continual support for when these kind of\nnatural disasters happen,\" Tomisawa said. \"Any little [bit] helps;\nsmall things can go a long way, just\nlike Japadog.\"\nJapadog has one big goal: to\nmake the best hotdog in the world.\nWith enticing tangy flavours,\nsalty seaweeds fused with classic\nteriyaki sauces and a touch of\nEDITOR'S NOTE\nJapadog removed from campus\nafter request of CUPE 116\nWe had originally planned to\npublish the above article in order\nto draw the public's attention to the\npresence of a Japadog on campus\nfor the remainder of the week.\nHowever, during our production\nprocess we learned CUPE 116\nhad requested thatthe Japadog\nvendor be shut down, due to the\nunion's previous grievance with the\nbusiness in 2009.\n\"The union objected because\nwe had jurisdiction forthe food\nservices on campus, it's unionized, and we had our own hot dog\nstand,\" said Colleen Garbe, the\npresident of CU PE 116. \"We settled\nto the satisfaction of both parties\nquite a fewyears back.\"\nDuring the negotiation process\nforthefundraising event, theJapan\nAssociation proposed bringing in\na vendorspecializing in traditional\nJapanese cuisine, but neglected\nto specify that this vendor would\nbe Japadog.\n\"There was some sort of\nmisunderstanding between the\nJapanesestudent association and\nUBC's CUPE 116, and when we\ntalked about inviting vendors onto\ncampus, CUPE [116] mentioned\ncheese, rice or noodles, Japadog is\na hotdog with an edge \u00E2\u0080\u0094 a fusion\nof east meets west.\n\"When Japadog started out,\nit was only a small cart, and now\nthey have places in New York and\nall over Vancouver,\" Hide said.\n\"Japadog wants to show that if\nthey can start something from\nsuch a small cart and make it so\nbig, then anyone can dream.\" tJ\nthat there was some past offence\nwith Japadog and they might've\nhad problems with that,\" said Kathy\nLi, the culture head forthe Japan\nAssociation. \"They were okay with\nany other vendor, but Japadog\nmight've been an issue, and we\nweren't aware of that, so that was\nessentially the misunderstanding.\"\nAccording to Garbe, CUPE 116\nwas explicit in their demand that\nJapadog notcometocampus \u00E2\u0080\u0094\nbut she recognizes that multiple\nlines of communication may\nhave led to confusion.

Written by Brian\nClark, the Tony award-winning\nplay raises poignant questions\nabout where to draw the line between medical ethics and human\ndignity.\nThe show is being staged by Real-\nwheels Theatre, a Vancouver-based\ncompany which strives to deepen\nthe audience's understanding ofthe\ndisability experience. This is done\nby staging productions in which\ndisability itself is not the focus, but\nrather the landscape in which universal issues are debated onstage.\nJames Sanders, Realwheels\nfounding artistic director, first encountered the play in its film version\nduring his recovery from a spinal\ninjury in 1990 which rendered him\nquadriplegic. \"New to the world of\ndisability, this play was a gift that\ninspired me to carry on,\" said Sanders, who, almost 25 years since his\naccident, now sees the play in a new\nlight \u00E2\u0080\u0094 a shift in perspective which\nlead to his desire to stage the show.\nAs a man \"in midlife, married and\nwith kids, I am now at an age close\nto that of Ken Harrison [the protagonist of Whose Life], who I now see\nas someone fighting for his right.\nNot the right to die, but the right\nto make a choice. The play extends\nto that ofthe individual and relates\nto society in our need to face this\nsubject as atopic of discussion\".\nThough first adapted from a\nscreenplay in 1972 by Clark, the\nsubject ofthe show is still time-\n!\n*-#*\nly: right-to-die legislation is once\nagain being debated in the media.\nLast month, Belgium passed a bill\nallowing children who suffer from\nsevere pain due to terminal illness to\nvoluntarily receive euthanasia. With\nother countries set to follow suit,\nClark's play aims to provide the first\nwords in the ensuing global debate.\nSanders had initially planned to\ntake on the role of Ken Harrison\nhimself. However, due to health\nissues, Sanders eventually decided to relinquish the role and ask\nlongtime friend and local star Bob\nFrazer to take on the part. Frazer\nis joined by a stellar cast, which\nincludes several UBC graduates:\nactors Pippa Johnstone and Dawn\nPetten, costume designer Carmen\nAlatorre and musical accompaniment by cellist Eric Wilson,\nthe current head of strings at the\nUBC School of Music. The show is\ndirected by John Cooper.\nThough heavy in content,\nplaywright Brian Clark has layered\nin numerous comedic moments,\nwhich, according to Sanders, close\n\"the distance that exists between\npeople and the disabled by using\nhumor to remind us that we are\nall human.\n\"Audiences can [therefore] expect to both laugh and shed a tear,\nas the script uses humour to put\nthe hearts ofthe audience into the\nhands ofthe actors,\" he said.\nStaged in the open set of a\nhospital room with the looming\npresence of a doctor's office placed\nbehind Harrison's hospital bed,\nscene changes occur f luidly via the\nuse of changing light.\nAnd it is with this fluidity that\nthe cast of Whose Life is it Anyway?\naspire to deliver a gut-wrenching-\nly heartbreaking and beautifully\ncomedic performance.

The\nLEAP program, which is divided\ninto three levels, was founded\nby award-winning playwright\nand actor Shawn MacDonald,\nand allows students to explore\ntheir creative nature and grow\nas writers, regardless of whether the students are interested\nin playwriting.\n\"For anyone that writes\nanything, I think it's a fantastic\nopportunity to develop yourself and to develop yourself as a\nwriter,\" said Islam, \"even if you\ndon't want to go into theatre or\nplaywriting or something.\"\nThe community nature of\nLEAP and the emphasis on peer-\nto-peer feedback is a way for students to develop their plays, and\nas writers. Packer, the only Level\n3 student, works independently\nwith the help of MacDonald and\nan assistant.\n\"It can be tough for me to stay\nfocused. And what's wonderful\nabout a program like LEAP is\nthat it does give you those solid\ndeadlines so that you don't get\noff track, and that's really, really\nvaluable,\" said Packer. \"Especially for someone who's starting\nout sort of at the beginning of\ntheir writing career because\ndeveloping that work ethic is so\nimportant.\"\nIslam is presenting a one-act\nplay about the intricacies of time\nand nostalgia.\n\"It's about a guy who works\nin a record store, then his ex\ncomes and visits out ofthe blue,\nand some wibbly-wobbly timey-\nwimey stuff happens. It's like\na play about time and nostalgia\nand getting stuck in the past\nand moving on from that,\" said\nIslam. \"I mostly just draw on my\nlife, what I'm feeling, and then\nI write.\n\"I just try to express myself,\ntry to express what I'm feeling,\ntry to communicate, I guess, because that's really all there is and\nit's the best way I know how.\"\nIMAGE COURTESY MARK HALLIDAY/ARTSCLUE\nThe LEAP program allows budding creative minds to spend several months workshopping a play before staging it at a major public venue.\nPacker is presenting a full-\nlength family drama that \"has\nsome very comic elements.\"\n\"It's about complacency and\nwhat do you do when you [have]\nmade decisions based on what was\nsocietally expected of you \u00E2\u0080\u0094 how\ndo those decisions, like marrying\nsomeone because they're a good\ncatch, how do those decisions\naffect you in 20 years?\"\nTheatre and writing have\nalways been a part of Islam and\nPacker's lives, Packer having\ngrown up surrounded by theatre\nand Islam having known what he\nwanted to do since he was six.\n\"With this exception of, like,\ntwo months when I was six when\nI wanted to be a garbage man,\nI've been like pretty one track\nabout, 'Yeah, I'm a writer,' and\neven then I think I'd just be like a\ngarbage man-poet, like Bukowski\nor something \u00E2\u0080\u0094 garbage man by\nday, token poet by night.\"\nWho knows \u00E2\u0080\u0094 LEAP attendees\nmay end up watching the next\nGeorge Walker.

Stedford had raced for a\nyear at Oregon State University\nand had such a great experience\nthat she decided to try to connect\na UBC team with the Northwest\nCollegiate Cycling Conference\n(NCCC). The NCCC includes 25\nuniversities from Washington,\nIdaho, Montana, Oregon and now\nB.C. UBC is the only Canadian\nschool in the conference.\n\"I immediately messaged her. I\nwas so on board,\" Mackay said.\nUBC's cycling team is equal\nparts resurgence and brand\nnew development. Regarding\npast UBC cycling organizations,\nMackay said there was a cycling club, but he doesn't think\nthey ever competed. \"I think it\nwas more recreational,\" he said.\n\"There's [also] always been a biking club, but they're more geared\ntoward mountain biking and trail\nmaintenance.\"\nBoth Stedford and Mackay\nfelt that the idea of a road\ncycling team would generate\ninterest. \"Just looking around\n[on campus], there's a lot of\npeople that could probably lean\nmore towards road cycling,\"\nsaid Mackay.\nMackay discovered cycling\nseveral years ago in his hometown of Calgary with the Ride to\nConquer Cancer, a 100-kilometre\ncharity ride. He was soon hooked\non riding, and began using his\nbicycle as his main form of\ntransportation. This season is\nMackay's first competing in\nraces. The UBC cycling team has\nenabled him to train and race\ncompetitively, but also to build\ncommunity with fellow cyclists\nof all skill levels.\nStedford and Mackay contacted\nthe governing body for the NCCC\nto race as a member school. \"I\nthink they pulled a few strings\nfor us to try to make it work,\" said\nMackay. \"But of course they wanted us to come compete. It just adds\nto the dynamic.\"\nThe competition season\nconsists of eight weekends of\nracing through March and April\nfollowed by a national championship in May. Teams qualify for\nspots at nationals by attending\nraces and scoring points. The\nconference has a variety of cat\negories for men and women ranging from A (elite) to D (beginner). Each weekend consists of\nthree events: a road race, a team\ntime trial and a criterium.\nThe\n?he main thing is we\nwant to be a cycling\nteam. Obviously we\nwant to compete, but\nnot so we're exclusive.\nDavid Mackay\nUBC cycling team member\nThe NCCC and the team encourage riders of all skill levels,\nracing classes, and abilities. \"Almost everyone starts out in D,\"\nMackay said. \"But people have\nbeen moving up quickly.\"\nUBC's team has 11 racing\nmembers and many more who\nexpress interest each week. From\ntheir first weekend of competition in March, the team has put\ntogether a strong showing.\n\"Some riders have taken\n[points] in their first races,\" said\nMackay. \"Our men's team won\nthe team time trial at the University of Oregon Omnium. It's\ngetting more and more momentum,\" Mackay said.\nDespite their present racing\nsuccesses, Mackay stressed that\nthe central aspect ofthe team is\nits open attitude and welcoming\natmosphere.\n\"The main thing is we want to\nbe a cycling team. Cbviously we\nwant to compete, but not so we're\nexclusive.\"\nThe team represents a diverse\ndemographic of men and women\nfrom various degree programs\nand years of study. Mackay emphasized the community building\nthe team brings to UBC.\n\"It's so rewarding for students that have a hard time\nfinding community at UBC,\"\nsaid Mackay. He credits the hard\nwork, passion and camaraderie of\nthe team to its strong start.\n\"People have been really adamant about doing whatever the\nnext step is to get the ball rolling,\"\nhe said. \"It's really cool to see how\nmuch motivation there is.\"\nThis season, UBC's goals are to\nattend as many races as possible,\nincrease interest in the team, and\nbuild community by supporting\neach other at races and making it\naccessible for team members to\ncompete. Riders are encouraged\nto join in any capacity from casual riding to serious racing.\nThough the team's future\ngoals are to become a team that\nattracts talented riders to the\nuniversity, their more immediate\ngoals are to build a sustainable\nteam that lasts when graduating\ncyclists leave.\nOne factor contributing to\nthe sustainability ofthe team\nis funding.

She heard about it in her\nthird year at UBC and applied to\nparticipate. She even went through\nthe entire interview process, but\ncouldn't do it because she was\n! spending over 20 hours a week\n! at the pool. \"They were like, 'We\n: love your commitment to so many\ni things, but you have to be here\ni fully,'\" Harley explains of her first\n: time applying to participate.\nBut now that swimming is done,\n; she can put her energy into her\ni other passions. \"Literally the second\n| that I knew that I was done my\n; season, I looked up this campaign, I\n\ got involved, I contacted them, and\nI they were just like, 'Obviously this\n; is something that's important to you\ni because you've tried to do this be-\nI fore,'\" she says. \"It's awesome to be\nhere. I'm so happy. I haven't stopped\nsmiling.\"\nHarley is thankful for having\nthe support of her swim teammates, who think this is \"classic\nBon.\" They've all stopped by to\nkeep her company and bring her\nfood and warm drinks. While she's\nappreciative of their kind gestures\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 rules state that participants\ncannot buy food themselves and\ncan only drink from public water\nfountains \u00E2\u0080\u0094 she stresses that it's\nnot about her. \"It's youth helping\nyouth,\" she says. \"If you've got\nsome change, that's all I want.\"\nNot only does she have a great\ngroup of teammates watching out\nfor her, she also made an instant\nconnection to her fellow participants. \"We actually all just met for\nthe first time [Monday] night and\nthe second we saw each other it\nwas like I'd known them forever,\"\nHarley says.\nIn order to stay warm overnight, the group cuddled up to\nshare body heat. \"I don't think\nthere's anything that can stop you\nfrom being friends after spooning all night,\" she says. \"It was\nawesome.\"\nHarley believes that being involved in high performance sport\ngave her the confidence she needs\nto approach people in public and\ntalk to them openly. \"Swimming\nhas taught me to love the things\nI love and strive for them, you\nknow, like do everything you can,\nput everything into the things you\nenjoy,\" she says. \"That definitely\ncomes out in this because you\nrealize who you are through sport,\nand then you can spread that to\nthe community.\"\nHaving an athlete involved has\nalso brought increased attention\nto the campaign, something the\nentire group is happy about. \"We\nactually almost hit the money\namount they got last year [on\nMonday], and that was the start of\nthe campaign,\" Harley explains.\nBut there's one thing that\nswimming couldn't prepare Harley for: raccoons. \"Raccoons are\nthe devil.

II Opinions\nLAST WORDS\nYOUR UNIVERSITY\nHAS COMMITMENT\nPROBLEMS\nUBC needs to start following\nthrough on their commitments.\nUBC says that no formal\nagreement was ever reached\nwith Metro Vancouver regarding\ntheir $l-million commitment to\nthe Annacis Wastewater Centre,\nbut some commitment must have\nbeen expressed for this figure to\nhave been included in the budget\nfor four years during the planning of the centre.\nSure, some of this was Metro's\nfault \u00E2\u0080\u0094 a deal struck in 2011\nshould not have been news to\nthem in 2013. But now, UBC\nhopes to renegotiate the deal\nagain, and that's just not cool.\nAn agreement signed by VP\nResearch John Hepburn and the\nCAO of Metro Vancouver committed UBC to providing $90,000\nper year over six years, starting\nin 2011. UBC has finally decided\nto pay up, but according to Iain\nEvans, who is negotiating the deal,\nUBC hopes to change this, making\nthe payments retroactive to 2013.\nEven if the research happening at the centre in 2011 wasn't\nworth $90,000, as Evans says,\nUBC should follow through on\ntheir word if they want to be\ntaken seriously in their future\ndealings. Next time, they should\njust not commit to something\nthey either can't or won't pay. A\ninstitution that renegotiates all\nits commitments won't be viewed\nas credible.\nROB FORD COMES TO AMS\nCOUNCIL\nHarsev Oshan, who lost a close\nAMS presidential election to Tanner Bokor earlier this year, nobly\nchose to stay involved in student\npolitics. Kind of.\nOshan ran in the Arts Undergraduate Society (AUS) elections\nfor the student society's AMS\nCouncil seat \u00E2\u0080\u0094 but he appeared on\nthe ballot as \"Rob Ford.\" It is hard\nto tell whether voters knew they\nwere voting for Oshan, as he easily\ncould have won either way. Still,\nwe've said it before and we'll say it\nagain: it's nice to see joke candidates in these student elections because, as Winnie Code showed us\nduring January's AMS elections, it\nmakes things way more fun.\nOur main message on this front\nreally has to be that Oshan should\nnot use crack or assault other\ncouncil members. It's all fun and\ngames until we get our own Toronto-crack-mayor on council. (Just\nkidding, that would be fun.)\nBut also, frankly, Ford's antics\nare now so over-the-top that the\njoke has run its course. We're glad\nOshan will be sitting as Oshan and\nnot a silly pretend Ford.\nCUPE 116'S BEEF WITH\nJAPADOG\nLet's play \"What Should the\nOn-Campus Union That Wants to\nStay on Students' Good Side Do?\"\nHere's the scenario: A popular\nfood stand pops up on campus to\nserve students hotdogs for a week\nILLUSTRATION JETHROAU3THE UBYSSEY\nWhen news slows down at the end of the year, it's always good to know you can get some awesome food on campus \u00E2\u0080\u0094 for a while.\nand raise money for a club's charity\ndrive.

For the\nreasons listed above, CUPE 116\nshouldn't have felt threatened and\nthey should have realized it was\nnot as if the club could have found a\nunionized Japanese hotdog vendor\nto come instead of Japadog.\nEveryone should just remember\nthat next time they complain about\nnot being paid enough. XI\nWhere is home? Problems discussing Chinese international students\nJANE SHI\nOp-Ed\nOn Monday afternoon, I found\nmyself looking at the cover of The\nUbyssey: a gigantic panda with\nsternly crossed arms, wearing a\nChinese flag pin, overlooks what\nappears to be ethnically Chinese\nstudents learning at UBC. Noting\ninstantly the allegory of Chinese\nstudents studying under the control ofthe Chinese government, I\ncould not help but anticipate the\nkind of article that will be written\nabout \"Chinese international\nstudents.\"\nMainstream journalism has\ntreated issues pertaining to the\n\"rising Asian power\" and, specifically, Chinese people in Canada\nwith xenophobia and insufficient\nnuance (see Maclean's infamous\n\"Too Asian?\" article). Thus I am\nnot surprised that \"Going home:\nChinese international students\nand democracy,\" is so uncritical of\nthe \"western liberal democracy\"\nthat exists here on Turtle Island\n(an indigenous name for North\nAmerica). Nor am I surprised\nthat the article repeatedly frames\nChinese international students\nas inseparable from the Chinese\ngovernment's relationship to the\nWest. Like so many other articles written on the topic, \"Going\nhome\" implies the superiority\nof western systems, as well as\nthe necessity of writing about\nnon-western nations from a western perspective.\nRosenfeld spends several paragraphs explaining how \"UBC very\nChina lies\nTIBETANS DIE\n=HOTO COURTESY KICK_START/FLICKR\nJane Shi argues a better question to ask is whether Tibet activism on campus will extend\nto other issues.\ngently poked China in the eye\"\nwith the visit of Lobsang Sangay,\nTibetan prime minister in exile.\nThen, arguing that this event\n\"serves to highlight\" the larger\nissue of \"Chinese students travelling] abroad to attend university\nin western democracies,\" he directly links Chinese international\nstudents attending school in the\nWest to the political situation in\nChina and in particular \"causes\nlike Tibetan autonomy,\" which\nthe Chinese government directly opposes. By asking whether\nthese students will or will not\nimport democracy to China, the\npiece rhetorically forces \"Chinese\ninternational students\" into the\nChinese government's geopolitical\nrole in the world.\nMy critique of \"Going home\"\nstems from an objection to this\nrhetorical framing, because it\npresumes The Ubyssey's readership would find it intuitive that\nwestern democracy can influence\ninternational students in any significant way, even if their studies\nand interests do not lie in politics,\nand it further assumes that these\ninternational students have political influence within China.\nFurther, \"Chinese international\nstudents\" is used here to refer only\nto those of Chinese nationality,\nholding Chinese passports. But\nthis framing presumes that the\nterm \"Chinese international students\" necessarily excludes ethnic\nChinese students from Hong\nKong, Taiwan and other regions,\nwho would instantly be alienated\nfrom this article's discussion even\nif they self-identify as a \"Chinese\ninternational student.\"\nI also challenge the article's\npremise that either China, Canada\nor the U.S. are entities that can be\npersonified through the popular\nopinions of their citizens, using\nimperialistically derived labels\nsuch as \"Canadians,\" \"Americans,\"\nor \"Chinese.\" The article suggests\nthat \"Canadians and Americans\"\nmight be surprised that \"many of\nthe returning students don't really\nwant China to change.\" I am a\nCanadian, yet I am not surprised.\nToo often, \"Canadian\" and\n\"American\" are used in this\ncontext to refer to upper-middle\nclass whites in those countries\nwho find rising Asian superpowers threatening. Just as it is\nnot useful to speak about \"Chinese\ninternational students\" as limited\nto those holding Chinese passports, speaking of Canadians and\nAmericans without acknowledging an array of possible identities\nand relations to other parts of\nthe world highlights the article's\nfaith in western democracy and\nimperialism. As an example, I was\nborn in mainland China and have\nrelatives who live there now who\nwould be labelled \"Chinese international students\" if they come to\nattend school on Turtle Island. In\n\"Going home,\" the investigation\ninto the question of democracy\npromotion in China leads into\nthe fact that these students are\neconomically privileged.\nWhile the article does articulate the realities of capitalism, it\ndecidedly does not frame the issue\nof \"Chinese international students\" as a class issue. By observing that western degrees \"boost\njob prospects,\" but saying that\ndespite this, subservience to the\nChinese government and political\nnetworking are required to get\nhigh-paying corporate positions\nin China, the piece opens up a\ndiscussion about our world's elite\nclasses and their relationship to\nnational interests. But it does not\nframe this as the article's central\nfocus.\nWhat do students and faculty\nreading this article learn about\nwhat it means to be a Chinese\ninternational student? Personally, I learned very little. I\nalready know that the meaning\nof \"Chinese\" cannot be reduced\nto citizenship of mainland China,\nthat the system ofthe People's\nRepublic of China is repressive,\nand that it's difficult to have\npolitical inclinations that do not\ncater to China's national interest if\nyou have grown up in that system.\nBut what do students who do not\nhave a visceral sense of that reality\nlearn, other than that there are\nmore reasons to alienate international students from mainland\nChina and to judge their upbringing and motives? If the questions\nthe article asks about these international students have to do with\ntheir nationality and not their\nclass privilege, what does this\ndiscussion serve but to maintain\nthe legitimacy of different forms\nof nationalism?\nIf we are to have an honest discussion of Chinese international\nstudents, a more interesting question to ask would be: will access\nto information about the situation in Tibet, and other regions\nwhich the Chinese government\nrepresses, compel stronger activist\nmovements around this and other\nhuman rights issue?
