President, students debate tuition fee increase
By GAVIN WILSON
0bout 90 students turned out to an
open forum with President David
Strangway Jan. 30 to air their concerns about proposed tuition fee increases.
Strangway and the students debated such topics as how UBC's fees rank against other Canadian universities, the meaning of accessibility to
post-secondary education and the pros and cons
of student financial aid.
The university's Board ofGovernors votes on
Strangway's proposed tuition fee increase guidelines at a meeting today.
The proposal calls for tuition increases for the
next three years to be set at the annual Vancouver
Consumer Price Index, plus 4.5 per cent.
Under the proposal, portions of the fee increase would be used to bolster financial aid for
students in need and enhance UBC's teaching and
learning environment.
Kurt Preinsperg, president of the Alma Mater
Society, which organized the forum, said he was
"quite disappointed" at the turnout. He blamed it
on students' preoccupation with the Gulf war, the
format ofthe event and a lack of strong feeling on
the issue.
Some students at the forum questioned why
UBC President David Strangway (left) and Jason Brett, president-elect ofthe Alma Mater
Society, debate the issues at a recent forum on proposed tuition fee guidelines.
the university's fund raising campaign, A World
of Opportunity, was collecting donations for
capital projects but not for keeping tuition fees
low.
"We don't need new buildings," said student
Jorj McWhinnie.
Strangway said the university deliberately
keeps campaign donations out of the operating budget. Some donations are, however,
being used to fund endowments that will support new scholarships and bursaries in perpetuity.
"In the very near future I hope we'll be able to
say that no one who is otherwise qualified to
attend UBC can't afford to study here," Strangway said.
Jason Brett, Alma Mater Society presidentelect, asked the president if the university was
willing to work with students to protest the level
of provincial government funding for post-secondary education. The University of Alberta's senate recently has, he said.
"The situation in Alberta is nothing like it is
here," Strangway told him, pointing out that the
B.C. government has introduced several new programs in recent years to boost student aid and
post-secondary education in general. In Alberta,
education funding has been "severely curtailed,"
he said.
The government's Access for All program is
funding 15,000 new positions in post-secondary
education in B.C., giving many young people
throughout the province the opportunity to attend university for the first time, Strangway
said.
To a student, accessibility means whether an
individual can afford to attend UBC. But to a
university president, he said, it means: is there a
funded place in which a student can enrol and
receive a quality education?
University wins six
awards of excellence
UBC has been honored with
six awards of excellence, for 1990,

Scientific approach
urged in forest
management debate
By ABE HEFTER
It's time to get past the rhetoric in
the ongoing battle to conserve Canada's
forests, said Hamish Kimmins, professor of Forest Ecology at UBC.
"Now is the time to leave behind
scientifically unfounded and socially
naive claims and statements," said
Kimmins. "The scientific understanding of environmental problems must
be established in order to develop laws
that encourage conservation."
However, Kimmins admitted that

UN designation sought
for new international
law centre at UBC
By CHARLES KER
Developing a global approach to
criminal law will be the focus of a
new centre to be established jointly
at the University of British Columbia
and Simon Fraser University.
The universities recently signed
an agreement to launch an International Centre for Criminal Law Reform and Criminal Justice Policy.
The centre will be a joint venture
among UBC's Faculty of Law, the
Institute for Studies in Criminal Justice Policy at SFU, the Society for
the Reform of Criminal Law, and
Rutgers University in New Jersey.
Negotiations are also underway to
have it designated as United Nations
Inter-regional Institute for Criminal
Law and Criminal Justice Policy.
Peter Bums, dean of UBC's Faculty of Law, said the initiative gives
UBC the chance to assist nations in
developing those parts of their legal
system that deal with criminal law.
"It's an enormous opportunity for
our faculty members to be engaged
in all aspects ofthe field," said Bums.
"They will be part of a network providing expertise leading towards
criminal law reform at an international as well as domestic level."
Bums added that the centre will
not only attract international figures
i to UBC's graduate program, but con-
I ferences at the centre would also draw
world leaders in the field of criminal
law to Vancouver.
UBC President David Strangway
commented that the centre will provide an intellectual resource for scholars around the world.
"It will be a place where people
from other countries can come and
understand the best way to revise their
laws to accommodate both cultural and
multinational issues."
Strangway pointed out that UBC's
Asian Law Program is well-placed to
develop a further program of activities
dealing with the Asia Pacific region.
"Geographically, it's very exciting,"
said Strangway. "We on the west coast
will be able to look at the Asian side of
issues while Rutgers looks at European concerns. It makes for global
coverage."
Bums said UBC's law program,
together with the criminology program
at SFU, made Vancouver a logical
choice for the centre's location.
UBC's law library, with some
180,000 volumes, has a comprehensive criminal law collection. The
university's legal clinic, in its provision of legal services to the needy, is
actively involved in criminal law.
The Institute for Studies in Criminal Justice Policy at SFU will provide
administrative and research support for
the new initiative. It is one of only six
criminal justice policy institutes in
North America.
Bums said another reason Vancou
ver was chosen for the centre was because of the enormous support the
project received from both the legal
and university communities.
The Law Foundation of British
Columbia has committed $640,000
to the joint project, conditional upon
matching funds from the provincial
and federal governments. UBC is providing 2,000 square feet of furnished
space to be shared by the Society for
the Reform of Criminal Law and the
U.N. Inter-regional Institute for
Criminal Law.
Bums said the society will likely
be operating on campus in May, followed by the U.N. institute in February, 1992.
Organized in 1988, the society is
a non-governmental association of
about 300 judges, legislators, lawyers, government officials and academics from 80 cities worldwide.
Rutgers University is publisher ofthe
society's journal.
The society has so far held five
conferences focusing on problems in
the development of criminal law.
Its conference in 1988 dealt with
the state of sentencing and parole in
Canada and influenced major changes
made subsequently in the parole systems of England and Scotland. Other
conference topics included Police
Powers and Citizen Rights and the
treatment of women in the criminal
justice system. 2 UBCREPORTS Feb.7,1991
Northrop Frye's
Vision of Culture
by ALEXANDER GLOBE
When Northrop Frye died on January 22 at 78 years, he left a legacy that
changed many lives through his writing and teaching of English literature
at the University of Toronto.
The introduction to Robert
Denham's 450-page bibliography of
works by and about Frye cites a study
of 980 humanities journals that found
him eighth on the list of most frequently
cited authors, after only Marx, Aris-
tode, Shakespeare, Lenin, Plato, Freud
and the contemporary French critic,
Roland Barthes.
Canada's most significant
man of letters, Frye was showered with honors, including
Companion of the Order of
Canada (1972), the Royal
Bank Award (1978), the Governor General's Prize (1987)
and 36 honorary degrees
around the world. UBC's D.
Litt. came early, in 1963.
After receiving a BA in
English at Toronto, he studied
theology and was ordained a
United Church minister in
1936. Further study in Oxford
ended with a teaching post
back in Toronto, but the religious background remained
prominent. In a recent documentary on CBC Radio's
Ideas, Frye said he turned
down prestigious American
professorships because there
was nothing comparable in the
U.S. to the United Church or
the CCF/NDP. For Frye, these
institutions embodied democratic ideals for human fulfillment. As the years passed, he wrote
for an increasingly wider non-academic audience, always battling what
he termed mental tyranny in a typically Canadian way, mild mannered
but firm.
His first book, Fearful Symmetry:
A Study of William Blake (1947), established that poet as a force who could
no longer be limited to a few lyric
verses on university courses. Blake
intrigued Frye because of his engagement with metaphor, the tool a poet
uses "to show you a world completely
absorbed and possessed by the human
mind" (The Educated Imagination,
1963, p. 11). Written through the dark
years of World War II, Fearful Symmetry champions a vision of freedom
that has attracted many since the Romantic movement of the early nineteenth century laid the foundation for
modem literature and art. After 44
years, the book still sells 800 copies a
year.
Anatomy of Criticism (1957) established Frye's international reputation. Translated into eight languages,
it has sold over 120,000 copies (3,000
last year). When he started writing in
resentations of human desire and repulsion). When I first read the Anatomy as an undergraduate, literature was
suddenly transformed from a series of
individual (if brilliant) works to a populous city of communicating voices.
Frye's final achievement was the
two-volume work on the ways the
Bible underlies the structure of western literature. The Great Code (1982—
now available in 22 languages) and
Words with Power (1990) continue the
debt to Blake, who supplies four chapter headings for the discussion of English literature ("Mountain", "Garden",
"Cave" and "Furnace". In
these books Frye achieves
something unattempted by the
historical biblical criticism of
the last two centuries. He
grapples seriously with the
treacherous interface between
biblical and modem notions
of language. Then, taking up
the Bible's penchant for quoting itself, he shows how, despite historical discontinuities,
one phase ofthe Bible absorbs
its predecessor as another develops out of it. The last few
sentences of Words with
Power (concluding a discussion of the book of Job) stand
as a fitting epitaph for someone so committed to literature,
who fused a compassion for
humanity with an apocalyptic
desire for ideal order:

Northrop Frye is widely regarded as Canada's most
distinguished man of letters.
the late 1940s, historical surveys dominated English courses. Frye was in the
vanguard that implanted critical theory everywhere. He started from the
premise that literary criticism was
"badly in need of a coordinating principle, a central hypotheses which, like
the theory of evolution in biology, will
see the phenomena it deals with as
parts of a whole" (p. 16). His range of
reference makes serious demands, but
his suggestive metaphors open up possibilities to virtually all readers as he
examines the structure of literary genres (the novel, drama, etc.), modes
(comedy, tragedy, etc.) and myths (rep-
"When we become intolerably oppressed by the mystery of human existence and
by what seems the utter impotence of God to do or even care anything about human suffering, we enter
the stage of Eliot's 'word in the desert,' and hear all the rhetoric of ideologues, expurgating, revising, setting
straight, rationalizing, proclaiming
the time of renovation. After that, perhaps, the terrifying and welcome
voice may begin, annihilating everything we thought we knew, and restoring everything we have never
lost."

been used by some conservationalists
has been effective in alerting the public to the environmental problems facing the forest industry.
"In order to wake up the public,
some conservation groups have made
statements that are often scientifically
inaccurate and violently rhetorical. But
perhaps this has been necessary because, if you're logical, and have all
the ifs, ands or buts, nobody listens to
you. You're boring."
Kimmins said a scientific understanding of the facts must now be established before we can ask what does
society want and how can we achieve
it."
Kimmins has launched two initia
tives in an effort to get science into the
environmental debate. The UBC professor has nearly completed a book
titled Only Diamonds are Forever.
Kimmins said the book is his attempt
to provide the public with access to a
science-based understanding of the
major environmental issues affecting
forestry.
"The book is being written for the
everyday person. Hopefully, it will
help people as they make decisions on
environmental factors which affect the
forest industry."
In addition, Kimmins is taking his
book on the road as part of the
university's goal to alert the public as
well as the campus population to the
issues surrounding responsible forest
management. He is currently in the
midst of a tour of 15 interior B.C.
communities which will end in mid-
March.
"The forest industry deserves
much credit for inviting me to take
part in this series of lectures," said
Kimmins. It has given me the opportunity to study local issues which affect B.C. communities, answer questions, and present the science of the
situation."
"The public must be given the
chance to learn the scientific facts so
they can channel their efforts in the
right direction to achieve society's
conservation goals," he added.

UBC therapy investigates
alternatives to alcohol
By CHARLES KER
At a glance, the sketch shows a
happy family: mother, father and
daughter walking hand in hand with
son perched comfortably on dad's
shoulders. Happiness and comfort,
however, are not part of this picture.
The illustration is being used to
promote a treatment project developed
at UBC for alcoholic fathers and their
families. In the sketch, the father's figure is outlined, but
left blank, alienating
him from the others.
"The notion of an
alcoholic family and
alcoholic marriage
have almost become
catchwords in our
culture," said John
Friesen, director of
The Alcohol Recovery Project. "The illustration raises questions about how a
family organizes itself
in relation to alcohol."
In 1987, the B.C.
Task Force on Drug
and Alcohol Abuse in
the workplace indicated 10 per cent of
the province's adult
population suffered from alcoholism.
The report also noted that drinking
habits put another 17 per cent of the
workforce at risk of developing a dependency.
Since September, Friesen and 16
researchers have been using the Alcohol Recovery Project to explore the
effectiveness of a treatment called
Experiential Systemic Therapy (ExST).
Developed over the last four years,
the 15-week treatment is being offered
to 150 families who have one or more
children age four or older, an alcohol-
dependent father and non-alcohol dependent mother.
When the therapy is completed in
December, another nine months will
be spent analyzing data gathered from
questionnaires and 2,000 videotaped
therapy sessions with participants. The
data will eventually be compiled into a
report and used to improve treatment
in a variety of government and private
counselling agencies.
Friesen, a professor with UBC's
Department of Counselling Psychology, indicated that the core ofthe treatment is the therapy sessions.
"Our treatment recognizes that al
coholics don't need an explanation,
they need an experience," said Friesen. "Therapy is an interpersonal process, the success of which is dependent
upon a client's experience."
According to Friesen, most significant experiences are symbolic in
nature. For the alcoholic, the symbol of the bottle conjures up mixed
feelings of both despair and friendship.
During therapy, clients are sometimes encouraged to use an empty
bottle as a symbol of their ambivalent
feelings. Freisen said some clients hug
it, others smash it and a few swear at it,
but at the end of therapy they leave the
bottle alone.
"By viewing this dependency in re
lation to his family and surroundings,
the alcoholic fathers may want to consider giving up this friendship with
alcohol and replace it with something
more constructive," said Friesen.
Unlike many other therapeutic models, Friesen said ExST therapy is seen
as something created with clients, as
opposed to something imposed upon
them. The treatment uses a non-doctrinaire, empirical approach that builds
on clinical experience
and research evidence.
Participants are
randomly split into
three groups: one
group monitors itself
and receives regular
feedback from a therapist; a second
group, involving just
the father, receives
ExST individual therapy and the third
group uses ExST
couples therapy with
the mother and father.
All participants receive treatment from
trained professionals
for one hour each
week. In addition to
filling out questionnaires before, during and after the project, participants
are also asked to complete a "weekly
situation diary" outlining their reactions.
Fifteen weeks after the therapy is
finished, clients are again asked to
complete a questionnaire to see if
changes have been maintained. An
honorarium of up to $200 is paid to
each family for their involvement in
the research.
Funded largely by the Ministry of
Labor and Consumer Services, the
treatment is being offered at the Surrey
Alcohol and Drug Programs Clinic and
at Summit Clinical and Consulting
Services in Duncan. For more information call 228-3499.

Professor Stanley Coren with model of brain: not safe to be a southpaw.
Records reveal longer
life for right-handers
By CHARLES KER
Right-handed people live about
eight years longer than left-handers, a
University of British Columbia study
indicates.
"It's just not safe to be a southpaw," said UBC Psychology Professor
Stanley Coren. "Lefties seem to be
physically more frail and accident
prone."
The study, published in the January
issue of Psychological Bulletin, is the
latest in a series on handedness which
Coren has been conducting for the last
20 years.
Working with University of California Professor Diane Halpern, Coren
based his research on 987 randomly
selected death records in two southern
California counties.
Data showed the mean age of death
for lefties was 66, while right-handers
generally lived to 75. Between right-
arid left-handed males, right-handers
lived to 72 compared to left-handed
males, whose life expectancy was 63.
There was a five-year difference in
life spans among left- and right-handed
females with right-handers living to 77
and lefties to 72.
In an earlier study of 1,900 UBC
students, Coren found left-handers
were 89 per cent more likely to sustain
accident-related injuries and six times
more likely to die of an accident-related injury than were right-handed
people. Left-handers were also four
times more likely to die in traffic injuries sustained when they were driving.
According to Coren, left-handers
are generally more frail than righthanders because they are more likely
to have been born from stressful births.
This makes them more susceptible to
conditions such as diabetes, insomnia
and allergies.
Coren estimates that 2,500 left-
handed Canadians are dying needlessly
in accidents each year because the
world is designed for right-handers.
To make life safer for lefties, Coren
would like to see handedness included
in government accident report forms.
"We could then locate the accident
hotspots where southpaws get into
trouble," said Coren.
Coren's book on left-handers will
be published in the fall.
Working, and working out, at UBC
By RON BURKE
We've all seen them: they're always heading out at lunchtime for a
run, or they bike to work, or they
head off to the pool at the end ofthe
day for a swim.
They're cranks, weirdos, fitness
freaks, right?
Actually, they're the guy who
works down the hall or the woman in
the next office.
People play tennis, do aerobics,
train with weights and take part in a
hundred other fitness and recreational
activities on campus every day. And
everyone seems to have such a good
time doing it. The War Memorial
Gym continually spews clusters of
chirpy, neon-clad runners, all looking like schoolkids making a fast
break for the start of summer vacation.
The fact is, UBC offers a great
opportunity to combine work with an
"Exercise is a great
stress reducer."
active, fit lifestyle. After all, how
many people have a world-class aquatic
centre within walking distance of their
workplace? Where else could you use
your lunch hour to go for a run through
the woods or along the beach?
Kim Gordon, Assistant Director of
Athletics, says it's the scenery that gets
people going.
"There aren't too many
places downtown where you
can walk out the door and find
miles of running trails," she
said.
Gordon is a former Canadian national team rower, but
now works out for the health
benefits and for simple enjoyment.
"Getting out of the office
during the day to exercise is a
great stress reducer."
Gordon joins other staff and
faculty for noon-hour drop-in volleyball games in the Osborne Gym. The
calibre is good, but the accent is on fun
and participation.
"It's a chance to combine a good
workout with getting to know other
people on campus," she said.
Dr. Jack Taunton, co-director ofthe
Allan McGavin Sports Medicine
Centre on campus, lauds the variety of
terrains available.
"UBC is a great place to combine
work and athletic training," he said.
"The cycling and running paths are
well integrated on the University Endowment Lands and there are all kinds
ROUND
&
BOUT
of surfaces to choose from: grass fields,
a track, hills, roads, trails and the
beach."
Dr. Taunton points out that easy access to the various terrains and facilities also encourages group training.
"People motivate and learn from
each other through training groups,"
he said. Learning about techniques
and training methods is important;
many recreational athletes encounter

together."
overuse injuries by trying to
do too much too soon, particularly if they concentrate on
one activity.
"As for group training," Dr. Taunton added,
"there's a social aspect that
ties in with the motivation.
Often it's more fun to train
together, especially during
dreary weather."
There's also safety in numbers. Scenic, wooded trails
can be dangerous places to run
alone, but who's going to mess with
half-a-dozen runners, arms pumping,
teeth flashing and all clad in bright
outfits. Group members can also spot
for each other during weight training
sessions, and three or four cyclists together are more visible to motorists
than a single rider.
Physiotherapist Ron Mattison of
the Sports Medicine Centre summed
it up this way: "It's a treat," Mattison
said of being able to combine fitness
and recreational activities with working at UBC. "You'd never admit it,
but there are probably people willing
to work on campus for less money
than elsewhere, just for that benefit."
Many ofthe people you see swimming, cycling and running on campus are training for the UBC Triathlon, which takes place on Saturday,
Mar. 9. This short-course triathlon
(800 metre swim, 23 kilometre cycle
and 7 kilometre run) is part of Intramural Sports' Partners in Participation series, which encourages community involvement in UBC recreational activities.
This is the ninth year for the event,
which, due to its shorter-than-Iron-
man distances, is a popular first-
time race for novice triathletes.
Organizers expect all 940 entry spots
to fill. For more information, call

Publication emphasizes clinical practice
Sport medicine journal breaks new ground
By ABE HEFTER
A UBC professor of sport medicine
and rehabilitation has helped move
Canada into the forefront of sport
medicine.
The Canadian Academy of Sport
Medicine has launched a unique journal that addresses clinical issues pertinent to sport medicine. It is spearheaded by Dr. Gord Matheson, the
journal's Editor-in-Chief.
"The Clinical Journal of Sport
Medicine was bom out of the desire by
the Canadian Academy of Sport Medi
cine to supplement the growing academic foundation for the clinical practice of sport medicine." said Matheson.
"Many existing sport medicine journals are science or performance oriented. Our journal reflects the growing need for the publication of research
articles relevant to the clinical practice
of sport medicine."
That need is also based on an awareness that the discipline has progressed
from the stereotypical "jock mentality" that used to pervade sport medi
cine.
"Those days have given way to the
realization that large segments of the
population are physically active and
are in need of top-notch care; They
need care not only for injuries, but also
for the diagnosis and treatment of
medical conditions resulting from
physical exercise."
Matheson said in medicine, it's the
quality of work you do and the service
you deliver that's important—not who
you're providing it to.
Matheson should know. He's the
Vancouver Canucks' team doctor and
spends up to seven hours a week keeping team players happy—and healthy.
He's proud to be associated with the
N.H.L. team, but realizes the Canucks
are no more or no less important than
any of the other physically active
people that need treatment.
Matheson has assembled a who's
who of international sport medicine
experts on the journal's editorial board,
including Dr. Doug Clement and Dr.
Jack Taunton, co-directors of UBC's
Allan McGavin Sports Medicine
Clinic.
"Our first issue, which has just been
published, includes articles by Dr.
Robert Jackson, who introduced arthroscopic surgery to North America, and
Dr. Karl Wasserman, who helped pioneer clinical exercise testing in heart
and lung patients," said Matheson.
"We believe we have come up with
a sport medicine journal that is unique
in North America," he added.
The Clinical Journal of Sport Medicine is published by Raven Press.
Earthquake would lead to
tsunami waves: UBC study
Photo by Media Services
Dr. Doug Clement and Dr. Gordon Matheson review a patient's x-rays
during a diagnosis at the Allan McGavin Sports Medicine Centre.
A severe earthquake off the B.C.
coast would produce tsunami waves
ranging in height from one to 15
metres, a study by UBC researchers
has found.
In an article in a recent issue of
Milroy at helm of UBC Press
By GAVIN WILSON
UBC Press Director Peter Milroy is charting a new course for
the university's academic publishers.
"It's like trying to turn a ship, you
can't make a sharp turn, you have to
do it gradually," he said.
Before Milroy took the helm five
months ago,
UBC Press was
sailing off-
course.
In 1989, a
president's review committee concluded
that the publisher was "in
crisis." They
recommended
two options;
shut down
UBC Press
within a year or
bring in new
management to
revive it.
Milroy, hired last September, has
20 years of experience in Canadian
publishing with companies such as
Heinemann, McClelland and Stewart
and Methuen in positions that cover
the spectrum of marketing, editorial
and senior administration.
Many of the problems UBC Press
faces, he said, are common to other
academic presses: high overhead in relation to sales, poor economies of scale,
expensive marketing, distribution
and, a commitment to scholarly
works which, by their nature, sell
modestly.
But it had other problems as well.
Too few books were published each
year to recoup the press's overhead,
the list of titles was too diverse to market effectively, and management information and graphic systems had
fallen behind. Worst of all, despite
heavy subsidies the press was losing
money rapidly.
Milroy said one of his most important goals is to bring some focus to the
UBC Press book list, which he believes was too eclectic in the past. A
list of books in print show titles rang
ing from the early Greek poets to land
tenure in Vanuatu and a retrospective
of the Royal Canadian Navy.
"My feeling is that we should pare
ourselves back to our natural
strengths," he said. "A strong regional
focus is one of the main elements of
that"
This means Canadian history, poli-
UBC Press Director Peter Milroy
tics, society and women's studies, with
a central focus on the west and, above
all, B.C. They will also emphasize
the environment of the region in
field guides and books on geography, ecology, forestry and fisheries.
Perhaps the press's greatest success
has come from books on Canada's
native peoples. Two such books, Aboriginal Peoples and Politics, by UBC
political scientist Paul Tennant, and
Native Writers and Canadian Writing,
edited by English professor Bill New,
were published last fall and have already been reprinted.
UBC Press will also focus its Pacific Rim titles, looking for titles in
fields such as modern history, sociology and politics of China, Japan and
Australia, particularly where there is
special relevance to Canada.
The new focus means a move away
from titles in literary criticism and the
humanities. Sales of such books are
not large, and given the press's financial situation, Milroy says, they can't
publish them. Not yet.
This streamlined book list is part of
Photo by Media Services
a greater marketing strategy that Milroy is putting into place. He believes
this is essential to the continued success of the campus publisher. However, he also recognizes the unique
role UBC Press plays.
"Our mandate is to publish scholarship. It does the university community
very little good if we publish worthy
books that sit
in a warehouse. Our
purpose is to
communicate
the results of
academic research to
scholars, but
also to a
wider community of
students and
readers outside academia."
Milroy
said UBC
Press cannot
publish every worthwhile book written by a UBC academic, nor is it in the
interest of either party to attempt to do
so, something he feels was not made
clear in the past. Neither is it their role
to publish the proceedings of every
conference held on campus.
"We can't be all things to all people.
This is not just a convenient place on
campus to go if you want a book published," he said.
Milroy explained that inorder to be
of value to the authors that they publish, UBC Press must be able to reach
markets that other publishers can't, selecting what they take on based on
their strengths as well as the worth of
the work.
Milroy and his colleague Jean
Wilson, UBC Press's executive editor,
encourage scholars to bring their publication plans to the press. They can
help authors select an appropriate publisher and present their work in an effective manner. For departments that
have developed their own publications
for sale, the press can provide services
such as billing, shipping and warehousing.
Science magazine, the researchers use
mathematical models to predict the
hazards posed by a tsunami generated
by a hypothetical earthquake of 8.5 on
the Richter Scale.
Seismologists predict the region is
overdue for such a quake. Last year's
San Francisco quake, in comparison,
measured magnitude 6.9 and caused
widespread damage, killing nearly 100
people
"Geophysicists say there is evidence
earthquakes of magnitude 8.5 have
occurred in the past in this region, with
intervals of maybe 200 to 500 years
between them," said Paul Leblond,
head of oceanography and co-author
of the study.
Leblond and his colleagues found
that waves generated by such a quake
would be one-metre high in the protected waters of Georgia Strait and
Puget Sound, five metres on the outer
coast of Vancouver Island, and up to
15 metres in some areas, such as the
Alberni inlet.
A tsunami is not the tall, breaking
wave of popular imagination, Leblond
said, but is more like a flood, with
water levels rising to their peak over a
period of 1 1/2 hours. They are caused
by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and
landslides beneath the ocean's surface.
The study is the first detailed assessment of the tsunami risk off the
B.C. coast. It originated as a master's
thesis by Max Ng, who co-authored
the Science article with Leblond and
Tad Murty, a honorary research associate at UBC who is based at the Institute of Ocean Sciences in Sidney, B.C.
Based on the advice of seismologists, the tsunami researchers assumed
a quake of 8.5 would trigger the wave
by heaving the ocean floor up five
metres in an area where the vast oceanic plates rub against each other, about
200 kilometres off the coast of Vancouver Island.
The protected waters of heavily
populated Georgia Strait and Puget
Sound would be spared the brunt of
the tsunami, but even a wave of one
metre could pose a hazard to low-lying
areas.
"If a one-metre tsunami occurred
on top of a high spring tide, then the
situation begins to get very interesting," said Leblond. "It could cause a
lot of damage."
In some areas of the coast, such as
the long, narrow Alberni Inlet on Vancouver Island, a resonance effect
would push the wave as high as 15
metres, the study warns.
Local residents are well acquainted
with the destructive power of tsunamis. One generated by the Alaska
earthquake in 1964 caused widespread
flooding and several millions of dollars of property damage in the Port
Albemi area.
But Leblond pointed out that more
study would be needed to estimate the
exact levels of flooding in different
areas.
"This is not the end of the story.
Any model such as this is limited," he
said. "We don't know what local,
small-scale effects may be. We can't
say exactly what's going to happen in
Bamfield, for example."
The actual level of flooding at specific sites may be well below predicted
wave heights, depending on factors
such as topography. The wave's size
would also be influenced by details of
the shape of the ocean bottom and
coastline that were unresolved in the
study, Leblond said.

Students gain real life
business experience
By ABE HEFTER
UBC is successfully attracting the
attention of the Canadian business
world thanks to
hands-on programs
like the Portfolio
Management Society.
"We are now getting word out that
UBC can offer the
business community
top-flight students
thanks to first-class
programs," said
Robert Heinkel ofthe
Finance Division of
the Faculty of Commerce and Business
Administration.
Since 1985, the
Portfolio Management Society has
offered UBC Commerce students a
chance to apply their finance education to real investment problems.
The two-year program is offered to
a small group of UBC finance students
during years three and four of their
Commerce program. These students
are responsible for managing an endowment which is donated by the financial community. The endowment
is currently valued at $700,000 —
double its 1985 value. And just like
the real business world, the bottom
line counts. The earnings from the
endowment support the program's activities.
"The key is not to lose money,"
said Heinkel. "Most ofthe earnings go
right back into the program and are
spent on educational activities. The
money can't be accumulated."
Heinkel said the university wants
the students of today to apply the insights and observations of modem fi-

nancial economics to real investment
management and to become leaders in
the investment practices of the future.
"This program works because the
investment community puts so much
into it and wants it to work," said
Heinkel.
"In year one of the program, students are sent to Toronto for a four-
month summer period to work in the
investment community. In year two,
their summers are spent working in the
Vancouver business community, where
they have access to 17 mentors to advise them along the way," he added
Commerce Dean Peter Lusztig said
these investment professionals have
offered to meet with the students at
any time to discuss investment strategies, current trends and other matters
of interest to the students.
"Members of the financial community put a tremendous amount of time
and energy into the program by offering workshops and seminars for stu
dents both in Vancouver and Toronto,"
said Lusztig. They
also sit on boards to
which the students
report."
"The strong demand for our graduates by the investment
community is evidence of the success
of our program,"
added the Dean.
Commerce student Kenneth Costa
of Vancouver has
been one of the
portfolio's fund managers since February
of 1989. He said the
experience gained as
the result of his financial responsibilities
helped him land a job with the Toronto-
Dominion Bank. However, Costa, who
will assume his new duties in Toronto
upon graduation this year, warned the
program is no free ride to the big time.
"It's been great for me, but there's a
lot of hard work involved," said Costa.
"Managing someone else's money is
much more difficult than managing
your own. When you lose someone
else's money, they want to know about
it."
The Portfolio Management Society
is just one way UBC has been able
improve communication with the business community, according to Heinkel.
"We have other initiatives, like the
Bureau of Asset Management Research, which is an attempt to get the
business community and the finance
and the real estate divisions at the university to work together."
"There's a lot more we can do for
business leaders," added Heinkel, "if
we can get their attention." 8 UBC REPORTS Feb. 7.1991
Campus safer sex program promotes
responsible attitudes among students
By CONNIE FILLETTI
A Canada-wide survey of highschool and post-secondary
education students has concluded that despite their knowledge
about AIDS, young Canadians continue to act in ways that
may put them at risk for becoming HIV infected.
Photo by Media Services
Christopher Lee (left) and Diana Prosser, Outreach volunteers trained
in sex-education counselling, were on hand for the safer sex program.
The report entitled Canada, Youth
and AIDS Study, further determined
that education about AIDS and other
sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
has been largely ineffective.
It's a problem UBC Student Health
Outreach Nurse Margaret Johnston has
been aware of since joining the university in 1987. That's why she has coordinated a safer sex education program
for UBC students each year for the
past three years.
"We drew large numbers of students that first year because AIDS was
Campus postal codes revised
By CONNIE FILLETTI
UBC has completed two years of
negotiations with Canada Post for a
revised postal code and delivery system for the university.
Five new postal codes will be applied to a matching number of zones
created from existing areas of campus.
To help the affected units remember
their zone, the last digit in the postal
code will correspond to the zone number.
Units which fall into these zones
will receive a new postal code. Although all affiliated and other associ
ated units fall within the various zones,
they are exempt and will retain their
old postal codes.
"These units should continue to use
their old postal code," said Keith
Bowler, Director of Purchasing. "By
using their old postal code, Canada
Post will continue to sort and bag their
mail, which will speed-up the delivery
service. Otherwise, their mail gets
added to the campus mail system."
Implementation of the new codes
will begin immediately, and will continue through to Dec. 31,1991 at which
time the new codes should also be

applied to all new printing requests.
Bowler explained that a new system was necessary because the postal
codes originally established for UBC
were designed to enable sortation by
code, a process which never materialized.
"In 1988, Canada Post suggested a
single code for the university campus
which we vigorously resisted," Bowler
said. "Canada Post also wanted us to
take over outside mail delivery to various affiliated areas to which we currently deliver campus mail."
Under the resulting agreement,
Canada Post will sort by the five new
zone codes and continue to sort and
bag separately the affiliated units' mail.
The Campus Mail Room will deliver
both Canada Post and campus mail to
affiliated units commencing May 1,
1991.
Currently UBC receives an average
of 16,000 pieces of unsorted Canada
Post mail in addition to approximately
8,000 pieces of campus mail daily.
John Howe, supervisor of the Campus Mail Room, said Canada Post has
agreed to accept the old codes for at
least 12 months.
He advised people on campus to
notify their contacts of the change to
their postal code as soon as possible,
but foresees no problem for anyone
receiving mail addressed to the old
postal code until Dec. 31,1991.
Louise Young, a Canada Post customer service representative, advised
everyone to learn and use their new
postal codes.
"The postal code is the key to total
mechanized processing," explained
Young. "If there is no code, the letter
must be hand-sorted and postage paid
at a higher, non-standard letter rate."
Howe said a new campus mail facility currently being constructed and
scheduled for completion by early 1992
will also assist with the implementation of the five new postal codes.
"The new facilty is being designed
for sorting by zone and this should
create a faster, more efficient mail service," Howe said.
Randy Howland of Media Services
suggested that people hand-change the
old postal code on any existing stationery stock used to the end of 1991.
He added that using a small rubber
stamp with the new code may save
time.
Anyone requiring additional information about the revised postal code
system may contact the Campus Mail
Room at 228-2579.
prominent in the media," said Johnston.
Dividing her time between the Student Health Services Clinic and the
Student Counselling and Resources
Centre gives Johnston direct insight
into students' knowledge attitudes and
behavior regarding AIDS and STDs.
She decided to focus on relationship skills, gender relations and responsibility as the themes for this year's
safer sex program, which ran Jan. 28
to Jan. 30 in the SUB concourse.
"We are trying to promote a responsible attitude among students who
are having sex," Johnston said.
"Sex involves a relationship and if
sex is a new aspect between two people,
so is the relationship. By stressing relationship skills, students may develop
a more responsible attitude toward their
sexual behavior."
Johnston added that the safer sex
program also provides students with
much needed access to information in
a non-threatening, relaxed and familiar environment.
Several groups including Women
and AIDS, the Student Counselling Resources Centre, the Office for Women
Students, the Sexual Harassment Office and Planned Parenthood were
on-site for this year's safer sex program.
"Students had the opportunity to
watch AIDS videos, ask about our
confidential HIV testing and STD
checks, pick-up free condoms and
listen to a former UBC medical
graduate living with AIDS give his
personal perspective on the disease
as a physician and a patient,"
Johnston said.
A new feature of this year's safer
sex program was sexploration, a
board game designed to promote
thoughtful discussion, factual learning and responsible decision making
about sex, drugs and alcohol.
Johnston said the game is a fun
way for students to learn important
information they can draw upon
to make knowledgeable and healthy
decisions.
Although the safer sex program is
coordinated as a special event,
Johnston urged students to drop-in at
the Student Health Services Clinic
for information about AIDS and other
STDs or birth control. The clinic is
open Monday to Friday, and is located on the main floor of University
Hospital, UBC site.
