The Alma Mater Society is the student society of UBC. Its membership ' includes yourself and every other reg istered student at this university. Our mission is to improve the educational, social and personal lives of each and every member by providing a dynamic array of services, events, clubs and businesses that will support, excite, enlighten and infuse your life with goodness. How do we do this? Exacting and scrupulous management of: a) Your Student fees (see page 5) and b) Revenue generated from AMS businesses. Simply take a walk through the SUB, it's filled with the fruits of our labours. Remember, you'll get the most out of your time at UBC if you get involved, so check out our services and resource groups, join a club, experience a Pit night— just make sure you venture out of the class room and into the SUB. The AMS will take care of everything else. __ It's going to be a great year. Ey CO < 01 It's your fabulous UBC President: Martha, Martha, Martha! Welcome to the University of British Columbia. As students of UBC, you have joined a vibrant community that maintains a great tradition of vision and innovation. In 1922, students and friends of the University banded together to march from UBC's earliest location in the "Fairview shacks" to its current site on Point Grey in a bid to persuade the Provincial Government to "build the university" for the benefit of the citizens of B.C. and the world. Today, that spirit and determination lives on in our faculty and staff, inspiring them to conduct leading-edge research, and to provide you with an outstanding and distinctive education that is interactive, interdisciplinary, and international in scope. Through academic, athletic and social experiences, you will gain the knowledge and skills that are vital to your future success. But more than that, you will establish lifelong friendships and develop your great potential as community leaders. This is your time to grow, to explore new ideas and push new boundaries, to define new goals and work toward them. I encourage you to take advantage of the countless opportunities the University offers. As our motto implies, you are now permanent members of a community that truly belongs to you: Tuum est—UBC is yours. —MARTHA C.

You're probably thinking that this book is awfully thick for a dayplanner. You're right—and that's because the Inside UBC is so much more. While it may not pay your tuition, write your papers, or convince that hottie in the second row to bend over, it will provide you with a whole whack of information about life at _^*p~-|^ university. ^f^X Hungry, cold, or bored? Pop on over | yCj I mmm to the Inside-cyclopedia, where you'll \\^all#*ni find information on all this campus has to offer outside of classes. Need friends? Take a gander at the Inside Get Involved section, guaranteed to have something for everyone. Want to know how this book ended up in your hot little hands? It's all thanks to your student society, the AMS— learn about them in this very section (see page 9). You might be tempted to ignore our sage advice and flip straight to the dayplanner. Don't. Without the Inside, you'd be missing out on everything that goes down at UBC: what to do, where to do it, and how to do it without looking like a knob. It also makes an ideal coaster. With your Inside UBC at your side, you'll be ready for anything west of Blanca. Read your handbook—you'll sleep better at night, your friends will revel at your informational prowess, and your parents will love you more. All because you'll be in the know.

As one of the best student associations around, the AMS requires strong leadership, swift and decisive action, a nose for problem solving, and a firm grasp on the democratic process. Naturally, who better to fill this role than students? Students are trained learners, able to adapt to every situation, to work for consensus under a deadline, and to drink a whole heck of a lot and still ace a midterm the next day. The AMS Executive are, indeed, students. They run your multi-million dollar student organization, and manage the hundreds of things the AMS does on a daily basis. They are also the students that represent you to the university, so take it upon yourself to get to know them. > GUESS WHAT? The AMS Exec are required to enroll in at least one class while serving their term. So take a look around, you might be sitting next to one of them.

Believe it or not, the AMS Execs are only the tip of the iceberg that is student government. By paying your student fees, you—along with every other student at UBC—become a member of the AMS. Membership entitles you to vote in AMS elections and referenda, and utilize the many services your student society and the university have to offer (see page 19 for details). How tnese services are administered, however, is decided by AMS Council, a group of elected student representatives that gather twice a month to decide on the inner workings of the student society. Things like the student health plan (see page 83), changes to the Student Union Building, and what to do with the over eight million dollar AMS budget are decided by Council. www.ams.ubc.ca ■HHMNnNlMHH > QUICK COUNCIL FACTS AMS Council meetings are held every second Wednesday at 6pm in SUB Room 206, To find our more about becoming ait AMS Council member, contact your undergraduate society (see t>age 99) To find out more about the AMS and AMS issues, check out vyww.ams.ubc.ca Does all that power make you a little uncomfortable? It shouldn't. As a member of a faculty (such as Arts or Science), you're entitled to vote in your undergraduate society elections (see page 122 for info on undergraduate societies). Every undergrad society is represented on council by the AMS Representative you vote in, so it's important to know who they are and contact them if you have any concerns. If you're still a little wary, all council meetings are public and even provide dinner just for showing up. For dates of meetings, contact the AMS at 822-3971. ^«s(j^wj^£ fast What would happen if an AMS Executive election ended up in a tie? Surprisingly enough, it did just that in 1975, when Jennifer Fuller and Ttim ■ Mansan each garnered 963 votes for the position of Internal Affairs Officer rS^^hing like tb^urrent VP Admin). The de|||bn was then made not by ■ Student Council or the voters, but by an impartial third party: a coin. The ' coin was tossed it turned up heads and Jennifer declared victorious. Inside the Chambers Nothing is more embarrassing than using a word incorrectly. For instance, "I just ate som|§jjelicious quorum," would be very wrong, as would "Dude, have we smoked all the referendum yet?" Read on, and don't make that mistake again.- C.A.S.A. (kass'uh) The Canadian Alliance of Student Associations is the national lobby group to which the AMS belongs. Along with student societies from McGill, Western, U of A, and other schools, CASA lobbies the federal government for policies that are sympathetic to students; an example of this is the recent touring of a hostage brain in a jar. For more information, visit www.casa.ca. COMMISSIONS (cum7777s/7'uns) Responsible for enacting the day-to-day operations of the AMS, commissions also carry out special projects. The best part? Commissions are appointed, not elected, so you don't have to be a politician to have real power. For more information, contact any AMS Vice-President. LOBBYING (lobb'ee'ing) The art of harassing the government to get what you want. Lobbying can take the form of protests, taking your MP out to dinner, and everything in between. QUORUM (kwofum) For a referendum to pass, not only must more students vote 'yes' than 'no', the question must also achieve quorum. Quorum is the minimum number of 'yes' votes a referendum question must receive, and is usually calculated as ten percent of the full-time day student population (about 3500). REFERENDUM (reffer'enGf'um) Before changing its Bylaws or raising student fees, AMS Council is required to ask the general student population what it thinks. In addition, when a petition with 1,000 signatures is presented to AMS Council, a referendum must be called on the proposed policy. Referenda are an excellent way for students to have a direct impact on the policies of the AMS. STUDENT LOAN NOT ENOUGH?

Eight million dollars—that's an eight with six zeros—is a lot of money; at eight dollars an hour, it would take you almost 500 years to make that much (not counting vacation pay). Eight million is also the operating budget of the AMS, and a large part of that money comes from student fees. The AMS collects $73.50 from each student (roughly 33 pints of Molson at the Pit), and uses it to fund the programs you see listed below. These are the only fees the Alma Mater Society collects, and the AMS fee can only be changed by referendum. $18*00 > Athletics and Intramural Sports Helps to fund events like Day of the Longboat and Storm the Wall. $15*00 > Capital Projects and Acquisitions Fund Helps to fund major SUB projects such as the new South Side Lounge. $12.50 > AMS Operating Expenses Helps to fund maintenance, repairs, and minor renovations in the SUB. $12*00 > Student Aid Bursary Fund* Helps to fund bursaries for UBC students. $9.00 > AMS Student Services* Helps to fund AMS services such as Safewalk, Ooblink, and the clubs. $3,50 > University/External Lobbying Ensures the interests of UBC students are represented to governments. $130 > AMS Resource Groups Helps to fund resource groups such as Pride and the Women's Centre. $1.00 > World University Service of Canada Sponsors two refugee students so they can attend UBC. $1.00 > Student Legal Fund* Provides legal advice to students. $176J5> AMS/GSf Extended Health & Dental Plan** **Students with equivalent extended health and dental insurance can opt out of the plan.

If you care about any of these issues, you care about what BOG does. The Board of Governors is responsible for all non-academic matters at UBC and is the highest level decision-making body on campus. BOG is composed of 15 volunteers: the Chancellor, the President, eight provincial appointees, two elected faculty members, one staff member, and two elected full-time students. Board meetings are held every second month, and run about 6-8 hours each; the morning sessions are usually open to the public. If you're interested, call Nina Robinson at 822-2127 for reservations. Tieg Martin (tmartin@interchange.ubc.ca) and Maryann Adamec (madamec@interchange.ubc.ca) were elected by the student body last January to be this year's student representatives on BOG; send them an email if you'd like to know more about what they do.

Of the over 80 members of Senate, approximately 17 are students, elected yearly, both from specific faculties and at-large. Senate meets in the Curtis room on the second or third Wednesday of each month. If you'd like to get involved, comment on an academic issue, or know a bit more about Senate, feel free to call their office. If you're living with your parents for the savings, you'll appreciate this. The rent on the SUB building (paid to UBC by the AMS) is only one dollar a year. That's not a bad deal!

You set your alarm an hour early, put on your lucky underwear, and downed what has probably been the most nutritious breakfast of your life. Baby, you are so ready forichool. Or%Te you? It seems like there are a million different things to do in the first month of school, but that's because there are. Between sucking up to your profs and sucking back a beer or three, you're probably forgetting important-things, like attending class. So, if you can't shake the feeling that you've ■ forgotten something crucial, take a moment and check through this list. PAY YOUR TUITION > Somebody might have told you nothing will happen if your tuition payment is late. They lied. While you may not be deregistered from your classes or chased by rabid bounty hunters, the university does slap you with a hefty $25 fine (and monthly interest) for late payment. The deadline is Wednesday, September 5th. | GET YOUR LIBRARY CARD > Why do you need a library card (a.k.a. your student card)? You might not, unless you want to take out a book, vote in an election, get student discounts, or get into the Pit for free. Your library card is your proof of being a student—if your parents still don't believe you— and gets you special stuff at tons of places (see page 45 for a list of student discounts). ®G0 TO CLASS > You could argue that the Pit is the only education you'll ever need, September Checklist (GO TO CLASS CONT) but the fact is you've paid for your classes and you should probably attend them. Course syllabi, generally handed out on the first day of class, will let you know when midterms and assignments are due, and can help you decide if nine Latin courses is too much (withdrawal deadlines are listed in the dayplanner of this book). By going to class you will ensure that your prof knows who you are, even if it's just as "that kid who shows up." The first week of class is also the only time you can jockey for the seat next to <insert object of desire here>. <MINT> One of the best resources at UBC is your classmates. You will miss a class, and while they can't pretend to be you during class discussions, they can lend you their notes and tell you what you've missed. Be prepared to do the same for them though; ifs good karma. (D, GET YOUR TEXTBOOKS > The bookstore is a magical place where heavy wallets are transformed into heavier backpacks and student budgets are unceremoniously sacrificed for the glory of the textbook. With a little magic of your own, however, you can actually save money. It's important to note that just because your book is "required" doesn't mean you will actually look at it, which means you don't have to buy it. If you do need a book, and if your classmates haven't beat you to it, the library has entire shelves of them, and the AMS Used Bookstore—Subtitles—is a great place to find textbooks at a discount. Eventually you may still end up at the bookstore, so don't forget to take advantage of their two-week return policy. ATTEND YOUR LABS & DISCUSSION GROUPS > Usually not held until the second week of classes, missing your first one can mean you're deregistered from it. This is generally not a good thing. Labs and discussion groups are an excellent way to meet your classmates, and are often a substantial part of your grade. They're also a second chance to meet <insert previously unapproachable object of affection here>. September Checklist <D\ I WRITE DOWN YOUR ASSIGNMENTS & MIDTERMS > Long range planning often seems impossible, but it can really save your butt. By marking down all your assignments and midterms you'll pinpoint any conflicts, such as having three midterms on the day after your birthday. It helps to dress up your calendar so you can actually look at it, and put it somewhere you'll be sure to see it. Try your ceiling or the wall next to the toilet. I GET AN E-MAIL ACCOUNT > You probably already have an e-mail account. But will your prof really enjoy your clever lit e-mail address "soaking_wet_monkey_parts@elephantsluts.com" as much as your friends do? Every student can register for a free e-mail account with UBC, either at the e-mail terminals in Koerner Library, or by going to www.netinfo.ubc.ca, and instantly sound more professional. Hey, you're an important person now. ^|HpT> Your UBC account can be set-upjo forward to another address, or you can check it from any of the free terminals around campus. There's also free internet access in the SUB (in both the South Side Lounge and the Conversation Pit). if! ) M^KE A BUDGET > You may never have needed one before, but then again, ^^S^ you've probably never paid a bill with three digits in it either. By making a budget, you'll know exactly how much to spend on Twinkies and how much to spend on your significant other. For more on how to make a budget, see page 42. <HINT> Freebies are great, but so is getting involved on campus. To find out how, check out Clubs Days, in the SUB, from September 17 to 21. Here you'll be able to see and join all the clubs you've read about (see page 117). You can also check out the frats and sororities (see page 115) during Rush Week. ( 0f) GET AS MANY FREEBIES AS YOU CAN > Now ^— that you've realized how broke you are, it's time to start collecting free stuff. The first week at UBC is rife with give-aways, ranging from free food, and free concerts and shows, to free martial arts lessons at the SRC. Reading campus newspapers (see page 105) is an excellent way to learn about free stuff, and the SUB is a central location for postering and information. There are free things to be had even after September has passed, so keep your eyes and ears open, and don't feel guilty: you pay enough to go to UBC as it is. GO TO THE AMS WELCOME BACK BBQ > You're going to need some stress- release, and soon. A frenzy of burgers, bzzr, music, and deliriously happy students, the AMS Welcome Back BBQ is held the second Friday of classes on Maclnnes field (behind the SUB). Pick up the ID that says you're nineteen and get your ass there. UDGETS The wonderful wonderful world of being broke. Life as a UBC student can be a trying experience. You will be stretched to the limits of your intellectual abilities, and probably to the limits of your bank account. If you aregKke many studerjfs, you will also be forced to grapple with the fact that "Morn and-Dad are:no longer around to make your lunch or pay your debts. Scary as it is, you're a grown-up now! Follow file three steps below, and prove to your parents that you are an expert in financial independence. 1. SEEK OUT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE Financial assistance is out there for students—if you take the time to find it. Here are just a few of the sources that may get you through the next eight months: > PERSONAL SAVINGS If you were smart, you remembered to throw a couple of your paycheques into the bank last summer. > FAMILY ASSISTANCE If you're lucky, you come from a well-off family which will pay for your entire education. (If you're like me, your parents have no money, and have told you,"You'll appreciate your education more if you pay for it yourself.") > SCHOLARSHIPS/BURSARIES This is by far the best source of financial assistance available to the average student, as it is essentially free money. You should apply for every award for which you might even be remotely eligible. That scholarship for descendants of Lithuanian goat herders may seem far-fetched, but if you are the only person who applies, it may be yours! PLACES TO HIT UPfiN* CASH Offices of UBC Awards and Financial Aid. > www.studentawards.com This government sponsored website asks you for a personal profile, and then spits out a list of bursuries and scholarships for which you may be eligible. > www.ams.ubc.ca "- Features a Financial Aid site. > Workplaces/Organizations Investigate any and all places with which your family is affiliated. Many offer awards to members and their families. > GOVERNMENT STUDENT LOANS Although not the preferred means of financial assistance, student loans should be considered as a final means of support. The downside, of course, is that you will have to pay it back. The upside is that you pay no interest on your loan until the completion of your degree. Furthermore, if you do qualify for a loan, and if you are in your first four years of post-secondary education, the federal government now offers you up to $3,000 of your loan as a non-repayable award under the Millennium Scholarship Fund. Budgets > CREDIT CARDS For god's sake! Stay away from these cute plastic cards! The big banks will offer you a $500 limit off the bat with an outrageous interest rate on any unpaid balances. JOE COOL'S BUDGET 2. PLAN YOUR BUDGET The thought of sitting down at a desk to write up a budget may be about as appealing to you as a Friday night lecture. It may seem a lot easier to just spend freely, and assume that your savings, scholarships and student loan will last until April. Unfortunately, if you do what I did in my first year, you may also find yourself in mid-November with a really nice closet of clothes, a swanky CD collection, and no money to pay your bills for the rest of the year. Unless the Bank of Mom and Dad are at your disposal...you're screwed! Don't end up begging for spare change. Create a personal budget, and stick to it! REVENUES EXPENSES Personal Savings $1,500 Tuition & Student Fees $3,200 Family Assistance $1,000 Books, School Supplies $ 950 Scholarships/Bursaries $2,500 Housing/Rent $3,200 Student Loan $8,000 Meal Plan/Groceries $2,500 Telephone/Utilities $1,360 Entertainment $ 680 Clothing $ 500 Fraternity Annual Dues $ 550 TOTAL REVENUES $13,000 TOTAL JEXPENSE5 $12,940 3. FOLLOW YOUR BUDGET For many students, this will be the most difficult step in the process. You have now recorded your budget onto paper, and it will be up to you to follow it. Take a look at Joe Cool's budget. It will be very tempting for Joe to consider spending his money on a trip to Mexico for Reading Break, especially since two of his friends have already bought tickets. But although Joe may have $5,000 left in his account in February, this money needs to last him until April. Joe's revenues exceed his expenses by only $60; this means that he could only spend $60 in unbudgeted money. Perhaps a reading week trip to Kelowna would be better...especially since his friend has a cute sister. Congratulations! You are now financially independent. Call Mom and let her know that you no longer need her to buy your underwear. For further information on financial assistance and managing your budget, you can contact the AMS VP Finance by e-mail at vpfinance@ams.ubc.ca. Good luck, and just remember...finance is fun!

Igs^good for breaking into^a house Mtg^uffP.I. style, and it-makes a wonderful coaster. You can throw it ninja-sfyle, oruseifto mark your place in a batik. Most of all, however, your student card is perfect for telling the world that you are a student. Incidentally, this usually means you're poor, so a lot of places in Vancouver have taken it upon themselves to give you a helping hand. Simply show your student card and recieve wild acclaim and praise; okay, maybe not, but you will get a few gre%t discounts!

Now prove it. - Some things.only happen- once in .a lifetime, and others once a year. At UBC, traditions have sprungi up.around annual events, and it becomes almost expected that you attend one or all of them. Look for posters closer to the day for details. I|)TE: For some reason, these events seem f©L focus around drinking, so make sure to bring the ID that says you're nineteen. > AMS WELCOME BACK BBQ (Sept. XX) Brought to you by the AMS, this is the first big party of the year. Live bands, burgers, and basically a big ol' good time. > SHRUM BOWL XXIV (Oct. 4) The annual football game between the UBC T-Birds and the evil evil SFU Clansmen. > OCTOBERFEUST (October) Can the 'geers throw a party or what? Come find out at this annual tented bzzr fest. > MARDI GRAS (January) Toted as a warm-up to Arts County Fair (see below), Mardi Gras is cheap, and yet another great excuse to wear your hawaiian shirt. > COLD FUSION (February) This Science party has great music and lots of beer. Leave your lab coats at home. > FRAT PARTIES (Year-round) Bora Bora, Fiji halloween, Fiesta, Islander: the list goes on. Watch for posters. > BIG GAY DANCE (February) Pride UBC's annual hoo-rah includes a drag show, and beer garden. Everyone's invited. > INTRAMURAL EVENTS (Day of the Longboat & Storm the Wall) Both of these events attract teams from everywhere on campus, so grab a group of friends and sign up to kick some ass. Both events also have wicked after-parties. > COCONUT (March) Celebrate the fact that we have forests by getting hammered and golfing. Nutty-ness. > ARTS COUNTY FAIR (Last day of classes—April 5) Brought to you by the AUS (see page 99), it's the largest event of its kind in Canada. Five Canadian bands, a huge bzzr garden at T-Bird stadium, and 15,000 of your friends celebrating their release from prison classes. Weekly Events Not weakling events, although weaklings can come too. While sitting at home and waiting for the next big party is furiT it ^ makes more sense to. celebrate just ajglle bit during the week, every week. Our campik has an amaziigi, amount ^J events, and chances are you'll want to attend at least a few. Here's some good places to start: > PIT NIGHT For some reason on Wednesdays the Pit transforms into a happenin', groovin', dance club with amazing amounts of alcohol, and students relieving the pressures of the week with reckless abandon. Line-ups can start early, so be prepared to show up early or chat with the folks in line. > OPEN MIC NIGHTS (Gallery, Koerner-s Pub) Although Mike probably isn't too keen on it, Open Mic nights are a great place to see some UBC talent, or even better, become part of it. The fact that most of your audience is drunk is an obvious bonus. > MUSIC AT THE CHAN (www.chancentre.com) If all the beer and going to class in your pajamas are stunting your cultural growth, get a recharge at the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts. The Chan has special prices for students, so get dressed up, find a classy date, and feel like a true bon vivant, whatever that is. > UBC THEATRE (www.arts.ubc.ca/tfow/theatre.htm) Another great place to take a date, the UBC theatre season showcases the talents of the entire theatre departmen—even the actors on stage are UBC students. Innovative and always interesting, this year's season also includes a double-billed opera. Who says you can't buy sophistication? > LAFFS @ LUNCH Wednesday noon hours bring some popular comedians into the SUB, and it's free. The first bunch of people who show up also get a free pop. Messed Up but hue The Chan Shun Concert Hall (in the Chan Centre) is designed to be just like a cello. In both Look, including "tuning pegs" and "strings" up above, and in the acoustics of the hall itself, the design is intended to put you inside the instrument. Magic School Bus, eat your heart out. Weekly Events > MOVIES IN THE SUB (www.ams.ubc.ca) FilmSoc has $3 movies Wednesdays to Sundays, with two showings a night. They show (relatively) new releases and some classics, with the odd you've-probably- never-heard-of-this-film-before for good measure. The seats are comfy, and you can be a little louder than at most theatres. See coupon page 34. > IMPROV (www.ubdmprov.com) If you jumped up on stage in the middle of an opera you would probably be forcibly removed. At UBC Improv, however, it's welcomed and even encouraged. Improv shows are the antithesis to predictable, and they're only two bucks. Check your couch cushions, (see page 130) > VARSITY GAMES Support the Thunderbirds! More info, see page 110. > BZZR GARDENS Every Friday night heralds the age-old tradition of cheap beer, or in this case, bzzr. Advertising is by posters and word of mouth, but you can always check out Buchanan A200 for Arts Gardens, or the SUB (upstairs) to see if any are there. "Man, I just want a BEER. Not 'bzzr7, BEER!" If this is you, then you're in luck, because in magical UBC-speak, bzzr is beer! University policy (and BC Liquor laws) prohibit the promotion of events with mention of booze, so in their infinite wisdom, university students invented terms like 'bzzr,' 'psyder,' 'margaree- tas,' and the new and improved 'BEvERages* Basically fjbthe same thing, except for the difficulty in pronouncing something with two zed's for vowels. But hey, after a few bzzrs your,speech is slurred anyway right? Whai ike Buck?! Canadian celebrity and sex icon, Or. David Suzuki can put "invented the Pit" on his list of accomplishments. UBC used to be a dry campus, but even after this law had been rescinded, there was still no bar. Enter Suzuki, a UBC prof with an article, for UBC Reports entitled "What this Campus needs is- a Pub " ■ On November 19, 1973, they got it, with'beer only 40 cents. Oh, if only Drinkinc When drinking at home loses its appeal. ^Studies show that students who drink are more likely to go to bars* such as those listed below. This is one time you may want to be anfSier statistic. > THE PIT (SUB) The renowned campus bar. Home to big- screen TVs, dancing, Pit Burgers, and the infamous Pit Night (see page 50). > THE GALLERY LOUNGE (SUB) If you haven't got the energy to party Pit-style, the Gallery is more relaxed and the beer flows just as freely. Enjoy open-mic night, live bands, and big ol' tables and couches. > KOERNER'S PUB (Grad Centre) Enjoy a beer outside (on their heated patio), or play a free game of pool, darts, or shuffleboard in this Grad Centre bar. Enjoy a pint o' Guinness or try something else from their substantial array of beers. > THUNDER BAR (Winter Sports Centre) Watch live hockey, drink, and eat. Open seven days a week. > PLANET PUB (International House) On Thursday and Friday nights, Planet Pub has a casual, friendly atmosphere and is a great place to meet new people or just hang out. > 99 CHAIRS (Next to Angus) Bring your meal card if you've got one. See page 60. > THE CHEEZE (The Cheeze) The Engineer's on-again off-again bar, arguably the cheapest beer on campus. Practice blending in with Engineers if you're not already one of them. Wear red. > BZZR GARDENS (Every Friday, various locations) Every Friday, various locations, various themes. Fun is a constant. GREAT STUDENT RATES!

More fun than a barrel of monkeys. More energy too. Nothing is more exhilarating trran beating the crap out of your friends with a whiffle bat Not surprisingly, a lot of intramural events involve punishing your friends with inflatable paraphenalia, as well as running, swimming, screaming, and inventing strange ;ctrijnts that£eally only-make sense at the time. Stroke! Stroke] Stroke! Day of the Longboat (October) Huge canoes race around ocean markers near the Jericho Sailing Centre. Prizes for the best costumed team (pirates, people with no asses on their pants), and the best part of all: the post-race hot tub. Gladiator Challenge (November) Last year, the participants climbed through an inflated obstacle course, jousted, played blind volleyball and indoor soccer, and tried to knock off their opponents heads with a giant Q-tip. It's fun! Insomniac Softball (November) For two nights in November, you can be one of hundreds of students who "invade the dome" at BC Place Stadium. Pretend you're the Babe, and point to the stands. Of course, the stands are empty, but still. Winterfest (January) Cosmic curling, broomball, and ice team handball. It's like the Ice Capades...minus the Capades. Rainfest (February) Absolutely crazy! Inner tube water polo. Water basketball. Boat jousting. Kayak inflatable polo. Cardboard boat building contest. It all takes place in the Aquatic Centre. It's the depths of February, you're wet anyway, why try to fight it? Storm the Wall (March) UBC's best-known intramural event takes up an entire week in March. Storm the Wall is a relay— someone swims, someone sprints, someone cycles, someone runs, and then everyone climbs over a 12-foot wall. How do five tired people climb a twelve-foot wall? With great difficulty... League Sports & Tournaments (Year-round) Ball hockey, basketball, hockey, soccer, ultimate, volleyball, and many more. You can sign up for any level of play, from recreational to super league.

After studying for a day or twelve you need alffitle stresfRelief, preferably something that doesn't involve booze-induced euphoria or more than three minutes preparation. Luckily, there are tons of things you can do at UBC that are free/cheap, good for you, and available at the drop of a hat. Try them all, and don't forget to pick up your hat before you go. > AMS ARCADE For some reason, sitting in front of a blank TV and making beeping sounds just isn't the same as playing a real video game. The AMS Arcade, located in the SUB, has lots and they're open late, so you can procrastinate longer. > BIRD COOP Get buff. The Coop has everything from exercise bikes to a bouldering wall. There's a small drop-in fee for those who haven't purchased a pass. > SRC DROP-IN SPORTS Free drop-in sports throughout the year, including basketball, futsal, and volleyball. Show up and play, it's as simple as that. Contact intramural sports (page 53) for the when's and where's. > AQUATIC CENTRE When the ocean gets too cold—for example, always—then it's time to move to the Aquatic Centre. Free access with your student card (at certain times) gives you no excuse not to swim a few laps; besides, they have a hot tub and a sauna. > THUNDERBIRD WINTER SPORTS ARENA Impress your friends! Shock your neighbours! Walk on water! Drop-in ice skating and hockey, as well as squash and raquetball courts, are available to students. Contact intramurals (page 53) for more info. > PACIFIC SPIRIT PARK Eventually, after a couple hundred hours spent in the classroom, your body will cry out to you. It will say, "Dammit man, I need some fresh air! Pronto!" And so you will answer with Pacific Spirit Place, that huge-ass forest right on campus. You will run or bike or walk, and your body will thank you, and stop talking to you in class. PASSAGE THERAPY AT THE UBC AQUATIC CENTRE • Doctor referred medical coverage Ww^v—— western SPORTSMASSAGE* • By appointment only 822-0860 • 6121 University Boulevard Studying Despite osmosis, sleeping on your book doesn't work. After four days cleaning your room, fourteen hours of "organizing" your Hjofjes, and a full ten.minutes of cooking dinner, you can avoirj it no longer: it's time to study. But how, exactly, are you supposed to do that wjjh a TV, a phone, and the won^- ders of rapdom web-sites at your fingertips? Ideaf|Bypu would just ignore all these! distractions; in reality, you're going to have to find somewhere else to:|p do it. > KOERNER LIBRARY Possibly the most popular spot on campus for studying. Climb a few stairs for the great view (and the studying carrels of course), or descend into the basement for the cool and time-sucking atmosphere of a place with no windows. On the plus side, you can't see what great weather you're missing. gjijl *2 ■ > MAIN LIBRARY Main has the bad habit of swallowing those who enter and refusing to give them back. Rumours of students lost for days in the stacks are abound, and remember...bread crumbs are not the best way to mark your path. Regardless, you can get some amazing studying done here. Perhaps it's all that accumulated knowledge that warps time in your favour. > EMPTY CLASSROOMS At any given time you'll find empty classrooms in many of the major buildings across campus; and if you're practicing for an oral presentation, they'll stay empty, because no one will want to disturb the crazy guy who's talking to himself. > 99 CHAIRS While the hustle and bustle of a restaurant can be distracting, the idea of having food and drink available at all times, on call, is a good one. And if you're on the brink of cracking from stress, you can get beer. Mmmm, beer. > THE WOMB (AQUATIC CENTRE) Although it may look a bit strange to be sitting in the seating gallery of the pool when an aquacize class is going on, the warmth and humidity of the Womb is conducive to good feelings. You'll feel relaxed, you can study without tension, and the splashing sounds mimic relaxing new-age music. > FORESTRY BUILDING A nice place to study and oddly reminiscent of an Ewok village; the extremely high ceiling battles study-claustrophobia, and it can be fun to pretend you're Luke Skywalker. Just don't get caught, or they might not let you back in. The Great Outdoors Nature is calling.. Every person was born with an aiiimal instinct inside them; generally, this is good only for strenuous sports activities or art. However, this inner beast needs to get out into the open every once and a while, or it may decide to take over and start marking its territory. How embarrassing. > GRASSY KNOLL It's that massive hill between the SUB and the busloop, and a great place to nap. Here's something to think about: When the UBC pool was built, the dirt that was extracted from the ground was piled in front of the SUB, creating the grassy knoll. There goes your giant ant theory. > WRECK BEACH Search for hidden treasure, race your friends across the beach, or tan nude. Yes, Wreck is a nude beach, and yes, that means that there will probably be naked people there. For the not-so-naked beach combers, you can go around the bend to Tower Beach. Same view, same ocean, same sand—more clothes. > NITOBE GARDENS Although it has been rumoured to be a very cool place to sneak into at night (not that we would know), Nitobe is free to students during the day. Nitobe is a traditional Japanese tea garden, and is designed as a map of the universe; see if you can find our little solar system in there. rz* - > ROSE GARDEN A garden full of roses inspires one of two things: guilt at forgetting anniversaries, or a sense of beauty and wonder about the world around you. Coupled with an amazing view of the mountains and the ocean, the UBC Rose Garden will make you forget all your troubles. > BOTANICAL GARDENS Over 10,000 different trees, shrubs, and flowers are located in this 70 acre garden, (not that you would ever count). The botanical garden is located right next to Thunderbird Stadium, which means that the plants there have seen more football games and concerts than you ever will. It also means that during a concert (like Arts County) or football game is probably not the best time to relax in the shrubbery. > SUB ROOF-TOP COURTYARD A courtyard garden, complete with fountain, on the second floor of the SUB? Yes sir. With patio-style furniture sheltered from the elements under a convenient overhang, the courtyard is a get-away in the midst of the hustle. And during SUB bzzr gardens, it means you can enjoy your beer under the beautiful night sky. When it's not raining, of course. Food Ifs whafs for dinner. Ifs happened to everyone. You're sitting in class, listening intently to your professor's theories on Gbethe/early childhood education/the difference between monkeys and rocks, when a dSIp rum- Ming slowlyjiuilds in your midsection. Before you can excuse yourself, your stomach cries out in famine-induced frustration; and the professor pauses to shoot you—and ycfir stomach—an evil look. Ill's face i%fou're hungry. UBC has a wide variety of food options if you know where to look, and there's no better place to start than the Student UnJ|p Building. > BLUE CHIP COOKIES Let the gluttony begin. Cookies, cookies, and more cookies, pastries with fruit, muffins with chocolate: Blue Chip is the place for all things baked and yummy. It's also the place to go for coffee, tea, and a killer hot chocolate. Get a shot of vanilla in it if you're feeling particularly sinful. (See coupons pg. 18) > PIE R SQUARED Infamous for extraordinary toppings, Pie R pumps out an entire pantheon of pizza flavours on a daily basis. Good for lunch, even better post-bzzr garden—pizza soaks up booze like nothing else. Although higher-priced than your average 99<t pie-joint, the sheer size and expansive crust make up for it. Try a dipping sauce when you're down to the crust. (See coupons pg. 18) > THE GALLERY LOUNGE It's not just booze, although there's lots of that too. The Gallery serves up an extra-sensory plate of nachos, loaded with nacho-stuff, and big enough to let your friends have a bite. They also have sandwiches and soup, all at a decent price. Just don't forget to save some money for your next beer. > SUBCETERA Sometimes you're just not in the mood for nutrition. That's why Subcetera—the store with all the candy diplayed tauntingly on the wall—is an unhealthy alternative to the regular campus fare. For some reason the words "bulk" and "candy" go extremely well together, and Subcetera knows it. They also have Chupa Chups; ask for them by name. At 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 | i l 4 Food > THE MOON Despite the opportunity for bad slogans (Take me to the Moon! Jump over to the Moon! Ifs Moon-riffic!), this Chinese food outlet slings out some quality chow. There's the daily combo selections, and the noodle bar express window with four different kinds of noodles. Four different kinds...who knew? (See coupon pg. 22) > THE PIT/BURGER BAR Sports bar, dance club, hangout, and yes, a take-out restaurant. With a handy take-out window, the Pit will serve up their signature burger just in time to rush back to class, and it comes in a number of variations, including one with peanut butter. You can also attempt to eat an entire mini-bucket of fries with one of the Pit's flavoured mayos; just don't try it more than once a day. ■ I K > THE PENDULUM For some real gourmet food in the SUB, the Pendulum is the place to be. For breakfast, a one-dollar pancake will fill you up for most of the day (insert joke about nine inches and filling you up here) and for lunch their quesadillas are excellent. The best part is that you can enjoy all of this on their patio, and their friendly staff will call out your name when your food is ready. Make sure you pay attention though, sometimes it can sound like your name is "Mmmphlbt." > THE DELLY Independently owned and operated, the Delly has a sandwich bar that rivals anything else on campus (ask for avocado, ifs 75C extra but worth it), as well as lots of other foodstuffs like samosas and fresh fruit. If you're having a hard time deciding, ask the staff; they're a lot of fun. Once the sandwich lady held up two chicken breasts to her eyes and...well, you had to be there. (Coupons pg. 66) > SNACK ATTACK You can't miss this mountain of munch- ables: just listen for the always cheerful, always danceable music blasting through the SUB, or the sound of the slurpee machine spinning. Besides slurpies and soft-serve ice cream, Snack Attack has hotdogs, wraps, fajitas, and pitas, all made to order; onions are optional. (See coupons pg. 16) > PACIFIC SPIRIT PLACE Do you miss your high school cafeteria? Thanks to Pacific Spirit Place, the UBC Food Services caf in the SUB, you can fulfill your grease cravings with frightening immediacy. Try some of their more exotic fare, like the Koya Grill's daily teriyaki special, their new omelet/pasta bar, or stick to a reliable bowl of fruit salad. If all else fails, there's always Subway. The beauty of this place is that they accept your UBC Meal Card and debit card, so there's no need to carry a briefcase full of cash when you want lunch. Food Ifs also for lunch. While, the SUB can ||l most of your nutritional (or not so nutritional) needs, it may become necessary to venture out of its stony confines alsorne point in your university career. If you do, you'll come across one or all of these vendors, and ~3Jm£$ you'll probably have a class next to one of tlem, they're ideal for "bathroom" breaks. > A200 LOUNGE (Buchanan A) Evidenced by the long lines between classes, A200 is a popular spot to buy candy, drinks, and various UBC foods. Like a lot of places on campus the prices are inflated, but there are a few bargains to be had, if you look hard enough. The egg-custard tarts are addictive, as is using your UBC Meal Card money to buy candy, so be careful. > SAGE BISTRO (Beside Grad Centre) If your wallet is feeling stuffy, or you have a hot date but no ride, then there's always Sage Bistro. Although their hours can be somewhat limited (it might be a good idea to make a reservation), ifs on campus and the prices are surprisingly reasonable. According to their website (www.sage.ubc.ca) which also lists their weekly menu, their service is "confident yet unpretentious," which probably means the waiters don't have French accents or stick their nose up at you. Of course, it also describes Sage as a "bright, airy European style brasserie." Hey, it beats Hooters. > YUM YUM'S (Old Auditorium) If you're getting tired of cafeteria-style Chinese food, then perhaps Yum Yum's isn't right for you. Otherwise, they've got some decent cafeteria-style Chinese food! One notable exception is the sticky-rice wrap; ifs cheapish, tastes pretty damn good, and despite its size you only need one for a filling lunch. Yum Yum's also has some of the regular UBC fare. > THE TUBE STEAK GUYS (Around) For some reason it has always been men that run the Tube Steak vendors; perhaps it is the inevitable ego that comes from selling tubes of processed meat layered in condiments. What ever the reason, the Tube Steak dudes are the best in their field, as the hot-dogs are always good and apparently UBC is one of the best selling places in the city. Ifs nice to know that your Tube Steak addiction is contributing to society. > 99 CHAIRS (Angus-ish) At 99 Chairs you order your food and then they make it for you. Sounds exotic, doesn't it? Although generally of better quality, the food is also generally of higher price, so be prepared to splurge. 99 Chairs is licenced, and on a completely unrelated note, they accept your meal card. And just in case you were wondering, there's 106, not 99. Food > EDIBLES (Scarfe) Sometimes university can make you feel like you've grown up too fast, and you get nostalgic for the days of playdoh and sandboxes. At Edibles, the teachers-to-be cafeteria, you'll feel like you've stepped back into kindergarten, with little stools and little tables and a huge elementary school-like mural along one wall. The beauty of it is that while the decor is immature, the food is not: hamburgers, daily grill specials, UBC baked goodies, and every child's favorite, chocolate bars. You have to finish everything on your plate though, or no dessert for you. > THE BARN (by the 'Geers cairn) Where are the horses you ask? Although the Barn has a selection of farmland favourites from burgers to chicken strips to custom sandwiches (presumably available with ham), you won't find any thing equine here. Although if you really wanted to, you could try their outdoor patio and pretend to be a horse. Just don't blame us if they try to tether you down. > BREAD GARDEN (Forest Sciences) If you enjoy the Bread Garden elsewhere, chances are you'll like the one on-campus just as much. Although ifs not dirt- cheap (an expression that should never be used to describe food), the quality is good and reliable. The real question is whether ifs worth it to hike all the way from the library. > IRC SNACK BAR (Woodward IRC) Ooh, panini, science students, and Subway. > THE BEANERY (Fairview Crescent) The Beanery has been toted as the best coffee shop on campus, and the argument is sound: the drinks are excellent, and their small menu is Bean-licious. They have a patio, a second floor of seating for the quiet at heart, and a piano and pool table on the first floor. Rumour has it that the Beanery used to be a bar, which is why it has satellite TV. Whatever the reason, it has a certain knack for whittling away the day, so don't forget to check your watch often. > TREK EXPRESS & PIZZA PIZZA (Angus) When Pizza Pizza was opened last year, it was expected to be extremely popular. Ifs not. However, the rest of Trek Express is much more impressive, especially the sandwich and wrap bar. You can custom order a sandwich or wrap with a variety of fillings, and they're big enough to justify going for lunch. Its central location is good for grabbing a snack and distracting you from going to class. m 3 "5 > in INEMD SERVICES is www.foodserv.ubc.ca UBC-FOOD(822-3663) Food It makes a nice snack too.

If you do venture to this fabled land, you are liable to come across numerous places of interest to your stomach. As I'm writing this, the restaurants listed below are the only ones that exist in the village...however, they've got some comperffcion coming to 'em, as there's a "gigantic "high-quality concrete" complex *biifig constructed right next- door. Confirmed tenants in the new Stiilding include Pharmasave Drugs, two sushi places, a medical and dental clinic, a dollar store, an optical store, a falafal restaurant...and the humdinger? A BC Liquor Store. > SECOND CUP > VILLAGE RESTAURANT > INT'L FOOD FAIR > LUCKY MARKET > BC GROCERY > BENNY'S BAGELS > MCDONALD'S > PLAYAZ PIZZA > VILLAGE PHARMACY > ONE MORE SUSHI Recipes Tired of KD and Ichiban? fl:rfere are probabiyjjjundreds of student cookbooks out there, but why in the /world would Jou buy one when your money could be better spent on tuition, books, or beer? MORNING AFTER PANCAKES 2 cups flour 2 cups milk 2 heaping tablespoons baking powder 2 eggs 1/2 stick melted butter (or 3 tbsp cooking oil) 3 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon salt Mix all the stuff together. Generally, it's better to mix the dry ingredients seperately from the wet ones, and then combine the two, but if you're lazy/hungover you can do it all in one bowl. Stir, getting out all flour lumps and beating eggs thourougly, but don't mix too much! There should be air bubbles in the mixure. If it seems too runny/thick, add more flour/milk. Next, grease up a pan, put it on high heat and spoon or pour your pancakes out. They're ready to flip over when the bubbles on top leave little holes in the pancake. For extra brownie points, you can try to make shapes out of them: start with Mickey Mouse before you attempt to make a Mona Lisa. VARIATIONS (attempted by author at one point or another, with various degrees of success): Add fruit or chocolate chips. Replace 1/2 cup of milk with vanilla ice cream. Replace 1/2 cup of milk with root beer. Fluffy! Replace 1/2 cup of milk with beer (hair of the dog). JAMIE'S TUNA CASSEROLE 1 can of tuna 1/2 cup mayonnaise 8 oz (1 cereal bowlful) of pasta 1/3 cup each of red and green peppers, onions, celery, and broccoli) 1 can cream of celery soup 1/2 cup of milk 1 cup grated cheese salt (to taste) Preheat oven to 425 F. Cook pasta. Mix mayonnaise and tuna. Dice veggies. Combine pasta with tuna and veggies. Heat up celery soup and milk. Melt cheese in soup mixture. Mix everything together into casserole dish, and bake uncovered for 20 minutes. Enjoy (but watch out, the middle gets really hot). Makes enough for Jamie to have 2 meals. REALLY GOOD SPINACH DIP 1 package of frozen chopped leaf spinach 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise 1 cup sour cream 1/2 cup chopped onions Thaw and drain spinach well. Thoroughly mix all ingredients together. Chill for at least 4 hours. Serve with fresh cut vegetables or bread. MY MOM'S APPLE CRISP 3 cups sliced peeled apples (about 6 apples) 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1/3-1/2 cup of white sugar 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup packed brown sugar 1 cup quick cooking oats 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup of room temperature butter or margarine 1 teaspoon baking powder (recommended, but it works just fine without it) Combine apples with lemon juice and white sugar. In a separate bowl, combine everything else. Mush the butter up with your fingers in the crumb mixture, until coarse crumbs form. Sprinkle crumb mixture over the apples. Cook at 350 F for about 45 minutes or until the apples are tender (to see if they're tender, gently poke them with a fork). MIKE'S BASTARDIZED BRITISH CURRY 2 breasts of chicken (optional) (If you're not using any chicken, you may want to add a couple more potatoes to the recipe above.) 1 large onion 1 jar of curry paste (variety and heat is up to you) 1 jar of mango lime chutney A whack of your favourite veggies (Mike uses a large tomato, 4 or 5 medium sized potatoes, a broccoli head, 1/2 a cauliflower head, some carrots, a zucchini, small red and yellow peppers, for colour.) Really big pot (must include a lid) 2 hours to spare Wash, peel, and cut veggies (chunks about as thick as your thumb) Don't be afraid to leave them big. Put them all in a bigass pot, (potatoes on the bottom, soft veggies on the top). Cut chicken into chunks. Dice the onion. Heat a teaspoon of oil in a frying pan (medium heat) and toss in onion. Cook until onion turns clear. Add chicken, and sear all sides. Add a heaping tablespoon of curry paste to pan, mix thoroughly under low heat. Mix two tablespoons curry paste and 3-4 cups hot water seperately, and pour over veggies. Liquid should not be more than halfway past veggies. Pour chicken/onion mix over top of veggies, cover pot, and place over high heat until boiling. Reduce heat so liquid is at a gentle boil. Wait 1-2 hours, stirring every 15-20 minutes. If your curry is too watery you might want to take the lid off during the last 15-20 minutes of cooking to let it boil down, if it's too dry you may need to add liquid. Is it done? Maybe. If your veggies are still crispy then you need to give it more time. If the potatoes are done, then you can serve anytime after that.

Laundry Wash your blues away...just don't mix with your whites, No matter how many times you turn your underwear inside out—because even once is once too many—you're never going to escape the fact that eventually you will have to wash your clothes. It sounds simple, but for clothes washing virgins, a little mistake can cost you a lot. (Unless you actually wanted a dfiajfrer-full of pink socks, pink t-srjjrts, and pink underwear.) 1. SORT your clothes (whites, darks, lights, delicates). Put in about 1/2 cup of detergent. If you put too much you'll get those clumpy white things everywhere, but you put in too little you'll still smell. 2. DISTRIBUTE the clothes evenly to ensure fair and even washing. It's like a mini- version of communism in your washing machine! 3. When it's time to DRY, make sure the lint trap is clean. You'll get a faster drying time, and avoid unnecessary fires in the drier.
