We humans, eternally optimistic, like to think of ourselves as improvers, that we leave things better than when we found them. My sense of promise and high purpose at the beginning of my term as President of the Alumni Association is, then, typical: I'm looking forward to the excitement and the challenges of the coming year. This past year has been a pivotal one for the Association, and we made many decisions that will impact on our activities for years to come. The most important of these centres around our relationship with the university. My main task this year will be to continue building and defining that relationship. I will chair a Directional Task Force in 1990 that will establish a formal relationship between the Association and UBC, and will more clearly outline our mutual benefits and mutual responsibilities. One of our own past presidents, Chief Justice Nathan Nemetz and our new Vice President, Dave Coulson, will join me on the task force, along with university representatives. Of course, the Alumni Association has always been totally committed to support the goals and aspirations ofthe university. This year, most of our activities are geared toward the 75th Anniversary celebrations, and we are fully responsible for organizing a successful Homecoming in September. Our executive director, Deborah Apps, has been appointed chair of the 75th Anniversary/Homecoming Committee. I am confident that Deborah, our professional staff and dedicated volunteers, will make this year an unforgettable one for many grads. I'm excited about the coming year. Volunteers form the backbone of our Association, and your help will be most appreciated. I urge all grads to get involved with the Association in this, the 75th Anniversary year of UBC. And remember, this year more than ever, Tuum Est: It Is Yours!

We would like to offer a special thanks to Jim Dutton and Alan Lawley, managers of The Rose and Crown Pub at Yonge & Eglinton in Toronto for their support of the TO Branch Pub Nights Chronicle/Summer 1990 5 Student News nEUSIettre Scandal The weekly newsletter printed by the Engineering Undergrad Society on March 14 offended nearly everyone, made headlines in big city newspapers and was a hot issue on campus. Articles, cartoons and mock ads made fun of native people, women, homosexuals and almost anyone who isn't a white male engineering student. The university administration was quick to condemn the EUS, and has considered a number of punitive actions against them including freezing activity funds, expulsion of students involved and disbanding the Society. The AMS also condemned the newsletter, and directed the EUS to conduct a conference addressing the issues of racism, sexism, homophobia and other forms of discrimination. The EUS was also ordered to publish a full page apology in the UBYSSEY. AMS President Kurt Preinsperg, however, defended the EUS's right to publish these views. In a letter to the UBYSSEY, he urged Dr. Strangway to consider that the newsletter, rather than being a hate sheet, might simply be the expression of unpopular opinions, and reminded him that the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the right of free expression. Preinsperg stressed that his view did not represent a consensus within the AMS. DOS Daunts AMS In late February, the AMS decided to buy five Macintosh computers and two laser printers for the use of AMS executives. The machinery will cost $33,000. Protest was quick, as articles and letters to the editor in the UBYSSEY indicate. Many complain that comparable IBM compatibles would have cost half as much, would have been just as efficient for AMS executive needs, and would be more in keeping with the "trust us" theme of the new AMS executive. As it is, many feel the new Macs represent perks for help-themselves politicians. AMS President, Kurt Preinsperg was also quick to defend the decision. "We didn't want to be on the tail end of a technology that's on the way out," Preisperg is quoted as saying, referring to DOS based machines, and "...none of us wanted abstract commands that we had to memorize." In a letter to the UBYSSEY, Preisperg noted the user friendly environment of the Mac and said, "ease of use promotes use, and the greater initial cost of Macs will rapidly pay for itself in terms making AMS executives more creatively productive." AMS executives plan to use the computers for letters, school work, spreadsheets and networking. In another letter to the UBYSSEY, Engineering student Tabe Johnson summed up many opinions this way: "Purchasing 5 computers for $33,000 to write letters and update spreadsheets is much like using the family Lambourghini to nip to the mailbox down the block." The Chronicle, by the way, is produced on a lowly IBM compatible. Buying a new car? "Given the opportunity we will better any price you can obtain on the purchase of a new vehicle."

CL E O o U o U ~0 m __ _D U CD < Campaign ______ ___=___ Pacesetter Donors Lead Alumni Campaign Thanks to 75 pacesetter donors, the Alumni World of Opportunity campaign is off and running. Over $280,000 has been raised from leading alumni, with an average gift of $3,770. Because these gifts are dedicated to the President's Endowment Fund, they will multiply fourfold for a total value of $1,116,000. The Vancouver Foundation and the Government of B.C. are providing the matching funds. What will the funds be used for? The interest from the President's Endowment Fund will be allocated to two areas: a Scholarship Fund and an Opportunity Fund. The Scholarship Fund will support national entrance scholarships and graduate fellowships to encourage first-rate students to choose UBC. New fellowships will help UBC achieve its objective of building graduate enrolment and increasing the number of women, students with disabilities and First Nations students in a broad range of programs. The Opportunity Fund will support emerging priorities in learning, research or public service. It will provide seed money for topical seminars and conferences, faculty recruitment, purchase of important collections, visiting lecturer programs and other special projects. Leading universities around the world have established similar funds to enable them to respond to unanticipated needs and opportunities. All UBC grads are being asked to join the Alumni World of Opportunity Campaign. To date, the response has been generous. Alumni are contributing larger gifts and pledges than ever before. However, the campaign still needs more participants. If you haven't yet sent in your commitment form, please do so now and become a part of UBC's future.

Yu 8 Chronicle/Summer 1990 Campaign Cecil Green Funds Graduate College Long-time friend ofthe university, Cecil Green, recently announced a gift of $7 million to found Green College, a residential graduate college to be located near Cecil Green Park. A graduate college is a natural step in the continued growth and development of UBC's research and graduate programs. Dr. Green believes the new facility will support President Strangway's goal to increase graduate enrolment at UBC. 'To be the best, we must attract the best, and to attract the best, we must have first class facilities, superior academic talent and solid funding," he stated. At a campaign dinner where he announced his gift, Dr. Green described a similar college he funded at Oxford University. "Scholars from the sciences, the arts and humanities work shoulder to shoulder in daily contact, refining their research ideas by participating in joint projects and carrying on the most important work ofthe university, which is the evolution of new ideas," he said. Green College, UBC will provide an opportunity for outstanding students, researchers, and academics from many disciplines to live and work together. Programs of debates, seminars and symposia will encourage close coop- Dr. Cecil Green; Dr. Bill Gibson, Chancellor of UVic; and Lord Doll, Ex-warden of Green College, Oxford; visiting the UBC campus eration between college members and the university community. In the beginning, the college will accommodate 60 junior fellows and 26 senior fellows, with numbers gradually increasing. The Cecil H. and Ida Green Visiting Professorships will be incorporated into the college. Distinguished visitors to the campus, faculty members, and scholars from other institutions will be invited to participate in Green College programs. An endowment fund of $4 million will be established to provide operating funds and fellowships for students at the college. B.C. Government Extends Matching Program The B.C. Government has announced plans to extend the $110 million University Matching Fund Program "by virtue of this program's phenomenal success." The announcement is good news for UBC's World of Opportunity campaign. The government match has been a major factor in the remarkable results ofthe campaign to date, with more than $132 million already raised, including $66 million in UBC's share of matching funds. "With the matching funds from the provincial government, we have reached our initial goal a full year before the scheduled wrap-up ofthe campaign," said Campaign Chairman Bob Wyman at a campaign dinner on March 21. The campaign will continue, he added, as the university funds new projects that have emerged since the campaign began two years ago. Although the original target has been reached, many key projects remain under-subscribed and other new proposals have come forward. The continuing campaign will enable the university to fund the original priorities as well as additional projects that link donor interest with UBC's mission. Highlights include a Graduate College, a First Nations Longhouse, a Disabilities Centre and an Institute for Asian and Pacific Studies. Expanding and renovating the Main Library continues to be a major priority in the campaign. ipportunity Chronicle/Summer 1990 9 ISlJlLIllAii MWiun hen Chile's new, elected authorities took over from the military regime last March, they found empty offices, many without telephones, carpets, computers, typewriters, and other essentials. One element from the outgoing military regime was overwhelmingly present, however: its staff, made unremovable by the military junta just before it retired from its 16 year stint as Chile's "legislature." Even as celebrations of the new, elected authorities' assumption of power on March 11th reached their height, the contradictions which have become the hallmark of Chilean politics were starkly evident. When the new president, Patricio Aylwin, drove into the Moneda for the first time, violent incidents broke out between police and a small group of bottle and stone throwing provocateurs. Within minutes, police were using watercannon and teargas indiscriminately against thousands of men, women and children gathered peacefully to welcome their new president. Nevertheless, the ceremonies marked the end of an era which began on September 11th, 1973, when the military overthrew the elected socialist government and Chile became notorious the world over for flagrant human rights violations. Canada alone received an estimated 30,000 Chilean refugees as hundreds of thousands tied, many after imprisonment and torture in concentration camps and secret prisons. Human rights organizations estimate between 10 and 30 thousand were killed outright. For the new government, governing Chile is not simply a matter of picking up where the last democratic government left off. Unlike similar regimes in neighbouring countries, the Chilean military government, led by Army General Augusto Pinochet, implemented economic and social reforms that profoundly changed Chilean society. During its time in power, the military privatized health care, pensions and schools, and sold off profitable state corporations under conditions which opposition analysts termed scandalous. Poverty took over the homes of five million Chileans, almost half the population. The housing shortage is estimated at one million. The military also made far-reaching changes to Chile's political system. A study by the Party of Democracy (PPD) found that after General Pinochet lost a 1988 plebiscite, districts were gerrymandered so that the smallest districts (which had favoured Pinochet) elected 40 representatives, while As democracy struggles to its feet, General Pir loves his office across fho r/~v""' -) bv Lake Saqaris RFA'81 the seven largest, with the same population, elected 14. Aylwin's victory was marred by congressional results, especially in the senate, where the new government needs special quora of 2/3 and 3/5 to pass key laws. With only 22 of the 38 seats, the new government won't have the strength to counterbalance nine senators appointed by the previous government. Among the losers was Ricardo Lagos, the most important leader of Chile's moderate left and the new Minister of Education. Lagos received 180,000 votes more than the man who beat him, but for Aylwin's supporters to win both candidates in a district, their combined vote had to double that of the other slate. Seven other members of the Aylwin coalition went down to defeat for the same reason. A 17-party coalition supported Aylwin's candidacy, as did the Communist Party and the MIR, and all but the CP and the MIR are represented in the new government. Unlike General Pinochet, who ruled by decree, the new government will have to steer every new law through a Congress where the General's supporters are over-represented and members of government parties, although the majority, don't meet quorum requirements. Scrutinizing these efforts will be the Chilean Armed Forces, anxious to protect those officers who were involved in the dirty war, and convinced 10 Chronicle/Summer 1990 Photos; (l-r) Crowds in Santiago demonstrate during election rally; General Pinochet's troops patrol outside a polling station; voters wait inside polling station. Photos by Rick Craig. their job is overseeing the government. Aylwin, his cabinet and the new Congress - which the military regime moved out of the capital to the port of Valparaiso, 1 hours away - have spent their first months in power working to fulfil the new government's many promises. At every step they uncovered new obstacles. Laws passed by the four-man military junta at the end of its rule significantly distanced the armed forces from civilian control; the new congress can't investigate charges of corruption in the previous administration; and ministers can only replace a handful of the former regime's employees. Resources are slim. The military government privatized many profitable government corporations including the Central Bank, which sets crucial economic policies. As well, the world copper price is dropping, further limiting an important source of revenue. For the first year, the new government must work within a national budget approved by the military regime. Aylwin's Finance Minister, Alejandro Foxley, announced in January that this year's budget has frozen public sector salaries and pensions at last year's level, in spite of 21% inflation. New authorities are discovering that their antecessors ran up huge deficits before leaving office. Human rights are already a major, and perilous, issue, which threatens to bring the new government's moral commitments into direct conflict with the military, and in some cases its own policies. On March 30th, Santiago's new governor banned a memorial march for three men kidnapped and brutally murdered in March 1985. Relatives marched anyway and police teargassed and water- cannoned them, just as they have every year since the killings took place. The relatives of the 600 disappeared and those brutally murdered want justice. Chile's political prisoners, some of whom took up arms to fight the dictatorship, want freedom. And the Chilean armed forces want human rights violations to be forgotten, or forgiven, as part of a civil war they argue took place after the coup. Just weeks before Aylwin's government formally took office, 50 political prisoners staged a massive escape and all but seven remain at large. Aylwin's first measure as president was to grant amnesty to between 40 and 50 political prisoners. The first laws he presented to the new congress would eliminate the death sentence and speed up trials of remaining prisoners. But 110 of the approximately 400 remaining in jail immediately began a month-long hunger strike and relatives staged several occupations of cathedrals and prisons. At the same time, Chile's military leaders adamantly defend a 1978 Amnesty Law which has stopped investigations of crimes which took place between '73 and '78. On March 11th, General Pinochet moved across the road to the Ministry of Defence, where he continues as Army Commander-in-Chief. Seated in his newly-renovated offices, he wields considerable power through his supporters in Congress, his appointees in the courts and the Central Bank, and loyalists in the public service. His retreat may be strategic indeed. Nevertheless, the new government's supporters are overwhelmingly optimistic. The men (there are no women) in Aylwin's cabinet have extensive experience in national and international organizations backed up by academic qualifications which would make most universities proud. Their economic plans rely on assistance from foreign governments, debt renegotiations and moderate tax increases, rather than sweeping reversals of economic policies. So far Aylwin, braced by a strong consensus among Chileans that the rebuilding of their society has just begun, has skilfully navigated the reefs of political sectarianism and infighting which would inevitably discredit his government. Polls indicate Chileans are generally willing to wait up to two years for significant changes. The stakes are high. The same demands that fuelled successful campaigns against the regime for the past six years could seriously pressure the new government's unity. Harald Beyer, ofthe Centre for Public Studies, predicts that the left parties will desert the government, leaving Christian Democrats to rule with Pinochet's former supporters and that nothing will really change. But Sergio Bitar, who went from being Minister of Mines in the Allende government to a concentration camp after the coup, is confident the multiparty government can hold together. "People who predict we'll divide don't understand how much we've suffered," he says. "We don't ever want to go back to that again." Lake Sagaris is afreelance writer and broadcaster living in Chile. Chronicle/Summer 199011 "...a group of 6 or 8 buildings for hospitals, laboratories, lecture rooms and clinics, dissecting rooms, museums, residence, etc. 60,000 square feet." Design Specifications, Medicine, 1912 There is an air of modernity about University Hospital, UBC Site. Its sloped windows and concrete walls have little in common with the red-brick and granite past of its older city cousins, Shaughnessy, Vancouver General and St.Paul's. There are no remnants of older buildings at the hospital, no history to stare out of archives and mingle with images of horse drawn ambulances or photographs of the Sisters of Charity of Providence hanging intently on the walls. Construction of the medical sciences centre of which the University Hospital is part began in the early 1960s: VGH's past is filled with images of stone masons and carts; University's past is cranes and concrete trucks. The ambition to have a university based hospital is at least a century old, probably originating in Dr. John Sebastian Hel- mecken's 1870 proposal to attach a faculty of medicine to the Royal Naval Hospital in Victoria. According to Harry Logan's history of the university, Tuum Est, the still-born "Act Respecting the University of British Columbia," which passed in the B.C. Legislature in 1890, empowered the university to grant degrees in the Arts, Sciences, Medicine and Law. The Act of 1908, section nine "stated the obligation of the University to provide degree work in all branches of knowledge, including Medicine..." The design specifications published in 1912 for architects to bid on were ambitious. A 1914 copy of the university's layout, A Bird's Eye After a difficult birth and childhood, University Hospital seeks a new identity for the 1990s by Patrick Lewis View sketched by Sharp and Thompson (the successful architectural firm in the design contest and fore-runners to Thompson, Berwick and Pratt) hangs in the corridor outside of Special Collections in the Main Library. Medicine and the Medical Sciences are grouped in the upper left hand corner of the sketch at the present site of University Hospital. The grey stone buildings are reminiscent of an eastern university or something old and European. They suggest established substance and wealth. But reality for the student body as a whole from 1915 until 1925 was war, insufficient finances and the Fairview Shacks at Oak and Tenth opposite VGH's Heather Pavilion. Though a Department of Nursing and Health had existed from the early twenties, and even though Israel W. Powell, chancellor of the ill-fated university of 1890/91, Henry Esson Young, the father of UBC, Frank Fairchild Wesbrook, its first president, and R.E. McKeknie, chancellor for 26 years, were all medical graduates, it was thirty-five years before a Faculty of Medicine was finally opened and 65 before the university had a completed hospital. Early attempts were made. In 1933, Dr. A.S. Munro bequeathed $80,000 for medical research and for a moment it looked like a medical faculty would be born. But the only real movement was the joint development of the Department of Bacteriology and Connaught Laboratories in 1935. An attempt to build a Department of Preventative Medicine in 1939 held some 12 Chronicle/Summer 1990 promise as well, but the Second War ended any plans. It was the returning veterans and a need to offer refresher courses for physicians which provided new incentive, and in 1944 VGH offered the university its first medical teaching facility. In 1945, the government included $1.5 million in the university capital grant to build a medical faculty at UBC. But in 1948 some of those funds slipped away to other projects. In 1949— 50 the government addedanother$2.25 million and the Alumni, UBC Development Fund and private donors also contributed monies. In 1950, funding, policy and physical space fell together for the univer- two Volkswagen Beatles in the foreground - as the university moved forward with its commitment "to a policy of forming a unified medical school." In early 1963, $18 million was allocated for a Health Sciences Centre. In the Fall of 1963, the ground was broken for the Woodward BioMedical Library. As medical science buildings continued to rise, construction of a 60 bed Psychiatry Hospital began in 1966, followed by a massive extension to the Woodward Library in 1968. The Psychiatry Hospital opened in 1969, the Instructional Resources Centre in 1973, and the 300 bed Extended Care Hospital in 1977. By the mid-1970's, though, dis- Medicine played a large part in early plans for the university, as is seen in this drawing from 1914. It would be over 50 years, however, before a comprehensive medical facility opened on campus. sity with the assignment of 400 beds at VGH for "clinical teaching purposes." The first medical class was offered and 270 people applied. Sixty people—57 from B.C.—were admitted. From 1955 on, publications such UBC Reports are ripe with mention of the move toward construction of a medical sciences centre, the final step in building a true university hospital. The October 1955 issue called it the "third major project" in the university's construction schedule but noted that the plans were not yet ready. In December of that year, the Reports' cover carried a map placing the medical centre north ofthe Library between East and Main Malls. The hospital's present site, then known as Wesbrook camp, was left vacant. The 1960s heralded the construction boom that in 20 years would build University Hospital - a photo from UBC Reports for September 1961 shows three medical science buildings rising out of a treeless landscape, dwarfing agreement within the medical community and other interested bodies on the site and the need for the facility at UBC was becoming vocal. The proposal by the short-lived NDP government of Dave Barrett—which had approved construction of the Extended Care Hospital in 1974—to build a B.C. Medical Centre at Shaughnessy, met with strong local opposition, and was shelved, never to be revived. But controversy surrounding the construction of a new hospital had broken into the open, and with a change in government it poured out of the Legislature and into the press, sweeping up doctors, Aldermen, nurses and administrators. When President Dr. Walter Gage planted a seed from the sycamore tree Hippocrates studied beneath to launch the Instructional Resources Centre, teamwork and hope were key words in press stories covering the project. By early 1976 though, all of that had changed. The crisis came to a head when then Social Credit Education Minister Dr. Pat McGeer challenged UBC to plan the heart of the hospital, a 240 bed acute care facility, within 60 days or see funds diverted to establishing a medical school in Victoria. It was almost a declaration of war. VGH, St. Pauls' and Shaughnessy Hospitals "felt the money would be better spent improving teaching facilities" at their respective hospitals. The Greater Vancouver Regional Hospital District directors voted, more than once, not to support construction of the hospital, and the B.C. Medical Association threw its weight behind the protest. Dr. William Jory, then president of the BCMA, queried the need for what was being promoted as another community hospital, and openly speculated that the government was ..."wasting a lot of money." How would it be funded? How would it be administered? Why was it being built on the west side of the city in the Minister of Education's riding? Was the Minister's position as head of the university's department of neuros- ciences influencing the decision? Throughout the whole of the construction and start up phase the questions came in a constant stream. The press became fertile ground for mud slinging and the words hope and team- workdisappeared without a trace. With the opening of 30 of a projected 120 surgical beds in 1981, L.F. Detwiller, the hospital administrator, stated the hospital's position in the community in an attempt to ease the years of tension: "We plan to compliment the present hospitals and not compete with them." Modern' UBC hospital avoids cutback crunch —Editorial: The Vancouver Sun, May 27, 1982 The 1980s were a difficult time to establish the role of the hospital as a teaching/research centre, and administrators had to learn how to bend with changing times. The recession that dragged the national economy down in 1982 coincided with the hospital's emergence as a complete unit, and in 1983, R. McDermit, president ofthe hospital, introduced Sun newspaper reporters to 66 empty acute care beds. Government restraint, for all the hopeful headlines of the year before, was cutting in. "Ever since the hospital opened," said McDermit, "we have had a serious financial problem... All these talented people come here to make a contribution, but they are getting worn thin. We need a little recognition of the tremendous effort being put forward." Those financial problems and the "wearing thin" took a toll even on McDer- continued page 14 Chronicle/Summer 199013 continued from page 13 mit: he resigned in 1987, citing "continued frustration over the provincial government's restraint program." Within a few months it was announced that University Hospital, then known as the Health Sciences Centre, would be merging with Shaughnessy Hospital to, according to Alan Pierce, former chairman ofthe hospital, "improve our services in the future, with a particular focus on leading edge developments in wellness and health promotion." Unlike most other major Canadian hospitals, University Hospital did not have an established base, a large community to draw from. Its designation as a community hospital, its method of funding and its sometimes confusing relationship to the Ministries of Education and Health, dogged it for years. But its first decade has not been with- "The dream of a medical facility offering a complete range of services in an academic atmosphere has slipped away." out influence and accomplishment. When the hospital opened there was very little medical research being done in Vancouver. Now St. Paul's has a research centre and the Jack Bell Centre at VGH is growing by leaps and bounds on the site where the UBC story started in the Fairview Shacks 75 years ago. University Hospital's recognized success in research has probably had a hand in this, as well as their location: as originally hoped for at the turn ofthe century, physicians in B.C. are trained at a teaching/research facility with access to the medical sciences only steps away. The dream of a university based medical facility that would offer a complete range of medical services in an academic atmosphere has slipped away and certain medical procedures will never be preformed at UBC. The University/Shaughnessy merger will take the hospital in directions not planned for in the 1950s and 1960s and the hospital will change; one vision passes and another replaces it. The challenge for University Hospital as part of a larger healthcare community is to find that new vision as it embarks on its second decade.

The results of the study of 22,000 live-born children in 33 birth defect categories, showed that these children are at a higher risk of being born with a heart defect, specifically an abnormal opening between the left and right chambers of the heart. The children who were studied were identified from the British Columbia Health Surveillance Registry. The registry was started in 1952, and the study used that data until 1973, when the occupation of parents was no longer included in birth notices. Part of the study compared the fire fighters to policemen, because of the similarity in socioeconomic status and employment criteria such as education and physical build. From these comparisons, as well as others to the general population, researchers have determined that exposure to toxins through inhalation during and after a fire, and absorption of toxic compounds through the skin and permeable clothing may be responsible for the birth defects. During the period when the data was collected, firemen were required to bring their laundry home, so wives also were potentially exposed to the toxins. It is possible that the early embryo could be affected by substances that are taken home and to which the mother is exposed during early gestation. Paternal exposure to an agent in small doses has been shown in animals to produce birth defects in offspring without effects on male fertility. "Our data suggests that paternal employment as a fire fighter increased a child's risk of being born with a heart defect, but this needs confirming by other studies," stated Dr. Baird. "Our research cannot be viewed as proof positive, but we have a clear indication that this whole area warrants further examination." Potential exposures include common combustion gases such as carbon monoxide and nitrous oxides, as well as the complex degradation products of plastics, rubber, wood and oils. Soot also contains carcinogenic compounds and other chemicals known to be reproductive hazards. Synthetic materials such as urethane foams in mattresses, cushions and carpet padding, polyvinyl chloride in plastics and pesticides on building structures were used widely during the period studied. Fire fighters also experience non-fire exposures from such agents as diesel and exhaust from vehicles, fire fighting compounds used to fill extinguishers and hazardous materials encountered in routine inspections and during chemical spills. Dr. Baird, who is currently chairing the federal government's Royal Commission of Reproductive Technologies, emphasized that since the early 1980s it has been standard practice for fire fighters to wear protective breathing apparatus, but that was not the case during the study period. Alzheimer's/Arthritis Relationship Found Conservative estimates currently put the number of persons in Canada with "dementing disorders" at 350,000. A completely reliable diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease cannot be made until an autopsy is performed, so it can only be guessed at how many ofthe350,000 people actually have Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease is a progressive deterioration of intellectual functions and involves permanent memory loss. The majority of Alzheimer's victims show the symptoms at between 60 and 72 years of age, although it has been known to affect persons in their 40s. It seems to be more prevalent in women than in men, but this may have to do with the fact that women live longer than men. UBC researchers have uncovered the possibility that anti-inflammatory drugs impede the development of Alzheimer's disease. This was discovered when it was noted that patients with rheumatoid arthritis who receive long- term anti-inflammatory drug therapy have an unexpectedly low rate of Alzheimer's disease. The findings are based on data from post mortem analyses of Alzheimer's patients, rheumatoid arthritis clinics, Alzheimer's disease clinics and hospital statistics. The study was conducted on persons who had been diagnosed Remember Homecoming! Come Home for UBC's 75th See details in this issue. with Alzheimer's disease, rheumatoid arthritis or both. Only 0.39 per cent of the rheumatoid arthritis patients also had Alzheimer's, and 0.50 per cent of those with Alzheimer's had rheumatoid arthritis as well. The results of several studies on Alzheimer's shows that in the over-64 general population, there is an average of 2.7 per cent with Alzheimer's disease. Researchers say Alzheimer's disease is characterized by low-grade inflammation of the brain, but that they do not yet know if the low incidence of Alzheimer's among rheumatoid arthritis patients is due to their ingestion of anti-inflammatory drugs. Clinical trials of mild anti-inflammatory agents used early in Alzheimer's disease will have to be conducted to come to a firmer conclusion. The results of the study were published in the British Medical Journal, Lancet. Co-authors were Dr. Edith McGeer and Dr. Patrick McGeer of UBC, Dr. Joseph Rogers of the Institute of Biogerontology in Sun City, Arizona and Dr. John Sibley of the University of Saskatchewan. New Dean Named for Faculty of Arts Patricia Marchak has been named the university's new Dean of Arts. She served as head of the Anthropology and Sociology department from 1987. The appointment is for six years and begins on July 1. Dr. Marchak completed both her undergraduate degree and PhD at UBC and is a former editor of the Ubyssey. She began teaching at UBC as an instructor in 1972, was promoted to assistant professor the following year, associate professor in 1975 and full professor in 1980. She is a sociologist with a focus on the sociology of forestry and fishing. The search committee, chaired by Daniel Birch, Vice- President, Academic, considered Dr. Marchak to be "an absolutely outstanding candidate who reflects the best in this university's traditions. She has achieved international recognition for her work in sociology and it's quite special that her scholarship also relates to the forest industry of British Columbia."

You may feel restless, irritable about this, but will eventually feel contented and newly strong. Family, close associates, friends don't understand you? Guess again. Emotional support is hidden, but very real between August and February. Remain open.

After, mid-July all smooths out and a fine financial course is easily plotted. Timing is everything, isn't it? Innovative thinking and risk taking is highly favoured before Christmas: give any new ideas, projects a good run. Make plans, contact practical friends and finalize everything after January. An energetic few months. Travel may also be indicated. 1980 Graduates Matters of soul searching, philosophy and greater wisdom are important now. A new psychological trend based in past identity and emotional self image are in the works. Subtle but very, very important. Opportunities exist in areas of government financing, payment schedules and financial institutions until late summer: a need to lay out the groundwork is, however, indicated. Career changes are best made before February, as more information should come to light at that time. Relocation or serious home improvement projects require attention this summer. 1990 Graduates Congrats! Grads in areas of arts, creativity, language studies, psychology, etc. can expect sudden opportunities before Christmas, but financial restrictions until February, 1991. Keep at it: much will change after next summer. Business, legal and commerce grads may already feel locked into a demanding and unsatisfying schedule. After February restrictions (especially financial) almost magically lift, leaving new career paths. You science types need some time alone and may start off in an unexpected field. After next summer, all feels like true niche work. Opportunities come quickly and from friends. Plan for the future When planning your estate, remember your alma mater.

Duke Gibbs Smith, $7.95 Michael S. Duke, a professor of Chinese Literature at UBC, was in Beijing studying modern Chinese writers when the amazing events of May and June, 1989 began to unfold. He put his research on hold and decided to record those events. The result. The Iron House: A Memoir of the Chinese Democracy Movement and the Tiananmen Massacre, is a touching and informative book, a valuable addition to the growing literature on modern Chinese history and politics. Information reaching the West about the Democracy Movement has been difficult to assess. The official Chinese government version ofthe events of June 4 are filled with the kind of revolutionary rhetoric that makes understanding impossible. Western news reports were, at the time, histrionic and unreliable, and eventually came to soften much of the initial horror they had described. Professor Duke attempts to describe events from the ground, as a participant. He made hours of illegal tapes, took photographs and conducted personal interviews. The book is full of people: Duke never lets us forget that real men and women risked their lives for their cause. Duke's perspective is very much on the side of the demonstrators. His work in China and in Canada with Chinese writers and intellectuals supplied him with a unique network in Beijing during the Democracy Movement. That his view of events is relatively uncritical is understandable and, in fact, gives the book a fascinating, you-were-there feel. The Iron House is as suspenseful as a detective novel and as well written. Recommended for China watchers and anyone interested in the human side of revolution. Beyond the Moon Gate by John Munro BA'62, MA'65 Douglas and Mclntyre/Wood Lake Books $17.95 On the other end of modern Chinese history is John Munro's Beyond the Moon Gate, a biography based on the diaries of Margaret Outerbridge. Margaret and her husband, Ralph, a doctor, spent the years 1938-50 as missionaries in China's Szechwan province. These were difficult years: the upsets of the Second World War, the Korean War and internal turmoil in China created a tense atmosphere for Margaret and her husband. Her concerns, however, are generally day-to-day ones: how to cope in a strange, sometimes inscrutable, sometimes dangerous, sometimes heartwarming and always interesting country. It is a Chinese "Roughing It In the Bush." with as much artistry and intensity. Munro has done an admirable job of adapting his material, which included letters, personal interviews and Margaret Outerbridge's personal diaries. Outer- bridge, who died in 1984, began her diaries as "private" notes, meant to be read by her family as a running commentary on her joys and struggles in China. The flow of events feels natural and organic, and within a few pages, the reader is immersed in her world. Insights into revolutionary and traditional culture abound, made understandable through a perceptive Westerner's eyes. The material Munro used to construct this biography has been deposited in the Special Collections section of the UBC Library. A Leaf Upon the Sea: A Small Ship in the Mediterranean, 1941-43 by Gordon W. Stead, BA'34, LLD(Hon)'45 UBC Press This memoir of naval service provides insight into the experiences of Canadians who served in the Royal Navy during WWII. Stead, a Lieutenant Commander, was awarded the DSO and Bar for his war efforts. A Small Ship won the 1988 Keith Matthews Award for the best Canadian book on a maritime subject. A White Man's Province: British Columbia Politicians and Chinese and Japanese Immigrants, 1858-1914 by Patricia E. Roy, BA'60, PhD'70 UBC Press Dr. Roy's study focusses on the origins of racist ideas in 19th and early 20th century B.C. She is currently working on a second volume which will continue the subject through to the 1950s. She is a professor in the history department at UVic and is the author of Vancouver: An Illustrated History. = Letters p__ Carl with a 'C Editor: I am very distressed to think that some of my former classmates and professors might think that I am the Kottmeier involved in the misuse of AMS funds. My name is Carl Kottmeier, not Karl. Although we are cousins, I have nothing whatsoever to do with Karl and I am angered as to the damage he has done to my family's name. It is an uncommon surname and I am very proud of it. Carl Kottmeier BASc'88 Cassiar, B.C. North Star Safe Editor: "When is the North Star going to burn out?" That's a question we've been hearing fairly often since the appearance ofthe article "Star Light, Star Bright" in the Spring issue. Unfortunately, phrases like "Will the North Star Fade to Black?" which were added before the article went to press gave the impression that Polaris will soon disappear. For those of you hoping to cash in on a boom in the magnetic compass market after this natural aid to navigation fades from sight, we'd advise you to hold onto your money. The article described evidence that the vibrations of Polaris are finally fading away, just as the ringing of a bell after a single stroke will soon die out. While this event may trigger lively discussion among astronomers, the star itself will continue unperturbed for a long time to come. On a more earthbound note, there was a typographical error in the article which reduced one of the world's largest telescopes - the 3.6 metre Canada-France-Hawaii instrument - to a mere 3.6 centimetres in diameter. Astrophysicists must often accept large uncertainties in their measurements of distant stars and galaxies, but even we raise our eyebrows at factors of 100.

He must be a million years old. That's the part I find eerie: I can't understand how time slips by so unnoticed. My mother, who is deep into her 70s, has the same problem: she has never felt a day over 35. It amazes her when she stops to think how old she is actually getting. I get caught in that trap all the time. I forget that time is a continuum, a long, unbroken line that can represent great distances. I sometimes forget time has passed by at all, that I am standing still. It's as if intervening years didn't happen, as if the memories, really, are only ofthe day before yesterday. It was good to sit in the ferry line-up and remember all that. But time is tricky. Unless you live in a constant state of attention to it, its passing slips to the background. I forgot about it last week for a few minutes, and it smacked me one. I was up on campus (bright, sunny day, summery, leaves, blossoms, birds), on my way to SUB for a quiet lunch. I was deep in thought, only half aware of the gorgeous day, thinking about an article I was editing for the magazine, worrying about a photograph I knew I was not going to find. I was passing along Main Mall, beside the Buchanan "A" building when I stopped dead. There, coming out ofthe doors, was Luci. I hadn't seen her in years (could it really be 15?), but there she was, jaunty as ever. She has an unmistakeable walk: she's slightly duck- footed, but the way she leans back, holds her head up high and lets her long, dark hair flow behind her gives her a look of immense self-confidence. In the few seconds I watched her walk toward me, the memory of her rushed back into my mind like a door blowing open in a storm. We finished our degrees together in the early '70s and went off to Quesnel to teach; no, not just teach, but to save youth from the slow death of a stifling education, to breathe new life into a dead system, to show those kids the steps of life's great fandango. And we danced it up there: we dug raw clay out of the ground for Luci's potting, rode horses, helped bush-hippy friends build log houses out of the wilderness and faced the rigours of neanderthalic principals and teacher- peers who had been in the trenches for a thousand years. It didn't work out, though: the clay turned out to be mud, the horses gave us blisters, the friends went into real estate and the principals and teacher- peers won every battle we waged against them. Even our students thought we were oddballs. They had their own fandango to skip to. Our relationship didn't survive the disappointments. We were idealists, and idealism, when it goes bad, is unforgiving. We split and went our separate ways, those many years past, but I, always the romantic, held on to a little marble of regret with her name on it, and hid it away in the back of my mind. But there she was, on a sunny spring day in May, coming out of the Buchanan Building looking not a day older. I stepped in front of her with my arms open, a wide, happy smile on my face, and said, with pure, goofy joy, "Luci! My God it's good to see you!" She stopped short - braked really, like in a cartoon - and looked around from side to side. Her expression shifted from carefree to fearful in a heartbeat, and no wonder: a 20 year old co-ed confronted by a balding, 40-ish weirdo, his arms out and a nutso grin on his face. As soon as I saw her face dissolve into fear, I knew I had made a terrible mistake. "I'm sorry," I said, chagrined, "I thought you were someone else." I backed away, literally, my hands up in a gesture of surrender and supplication and hurried off to an indigestible lunch. I felt like the idiot ofthe century. It was a terrible mistake but, I rationalized later, not an impossible one. Who among us has not seen the spitting image of someone else walking down the street? I just forgot that 15 years had passed in between, like a puff of smoke. My mother says it just gets eerier. • ^Librarians in Alternative Careers = I am conducting a Canadian study on the movement of librarians toward alternative career paths.

Now, I grant you, I'm not THAT old: I'll be 43 on my next birthday. Just as I think most 30 year olds can barely walk by themselves, there are lots of older guys who think a 43 year old still shouldn't cross the street alone. Right off, I admit it's a relative thing. But that's not what I mean by eerie. Maybe I should start at the beginning. I was sitting in a ferry line-up a couple of weeks ago when the radio played the old Procol Harem song, "A Whiter Shade of Pale." The first verse goes like this (hum along if you like): We skipped the light fandango. Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor. I was feeling kind of seasick; But the crowd called out for more. The room was humming harder As the ceiling flew away. When we called out for another drink. The waiter brought the tray. Now, isn't that the essence of youth? Profound, carefree nonsense, unquenchable excess, giddy solemnity, all swirled together in a broth of rich banality. Life without perceptible end. Oxymorons. Isn't that it? Sitting in the ferry line-up, the sun beating down on the car, I slipped into a quiet, heat-soaked reverie about time, and how I experienced it. It occurred to me that, even as a youth, I knew time would pass and I would get old. I knew, for instance, that as I got older I would have to lower my expectations about myself: Stumbling the Light A ferry slip, Buchanan *A' and intimations of mortality Chris Petty, MFA'86 there would come a time when I could no longer seriously consider a career as a baseball player. I understood that the guy in the mirror would look more and more like a stranger with each year that passed, and that the things I thought important when I was a young man would have no meaning to me when I was an old one. I also suspected that my promise, "I will always keep up with the popular music of the day" would be broken. I expected all those things, and more. I was hip to aging. But when the process actually started happening, a few things took me by surprise. People who used to be young suddenly got old. My first Little League coach, in 1958, was a young man, the father of a friend. He had a big, bushy, black beard, and couldn't have been more than 40. I hung around with that friend for most of junior high, then we fell out. I saw the father again sometime around my 30th birthday. I was absolutely stunned. He looked sick, he looked decrepit, he looked OLD! I could barely believe it. He'd been a young man hardly any time ago at all! I remember seeing Audrey Hepburn in the 1960 tearjerker, "Breakfast at Tiffany's," where she played a 19 year old, then seeing her a few years later (20, actually) in "Robin and Marian," and she looked OLD! Remember Rex Harrison in "My Fair Lady"? He was an irascible, middle aged type then, but really not much different than he was in "Blithe Spirit" or even "Major Barbara."

The ability to crunch numbers is a bare beginning. What counts now is the ability to interpret those numbers to meet your planning needs. That's when accounting becomes management. And its why so many front-line firms include Management Accountants on their teams. Certainly, CMAs have a firm foundation in accounting. But that's topped with the kind of real-world management training that no other discipline offers. Training that pays off in practical plans for business growth and success.
