SffiDD mgXi fac?jpiy| www.ams. ubc.ca "This is the real handbook, not some phony franchise. Hello! My name is the Inside UBC. You already knew that because my name is printed on my outside. More importantly, I'm your Inside UBC. I'm going to make your life a lot easier. Don't skip to the day-planner just yet. It's a very useful part of me, but there's so much more. In my insides, where you have your stomach and lower intestines, I have an incredible handbook full of guidance and wisdom—all at your disposal. You may think you know it all already, but, believe me, there's plenty more that I can tell you. Honest. I'm Obi- wan, you're Anakin: that's how it is. From your AMS to an encyclopaedia about the I adventures of student life to how to get involved— I'm going to tell you everything there is to know. Are you really paying $3500+ a year to read books and do homework? As your friend, I won't stand for it. Instead, think of tuition as the admission price to a world in which everything is catered expressly for you. Where else can you have your own radio show, be the president of your own club, and eat pizza that has baked potato on it? Discounting Xanadu, the only place I know of is UBC. So let's sit down and have a little chat. Best friends forever! Wuv, Your Inside UBC by Chris & Jon *__■• www.ams.uDcc QB(teEJ3 ..Winnin' by a landslide, and you know you can't hide! + A message from your student society The Alma Mater Society is your student society. Their mission: to improve the educational, social and personal lives of every student on campus. They provide services, resource groups, events, businesses and clubs that look after you when you're in trouble, entertain you when you're bored, and give you space to meet your new best friends. You will find no better ally on campus than your AMS. You're a part of it already. Every registered student is automatically a member. Your student fees, along with revenues generated by the many AMS businesses, fund its mission, which is carried out by the AMS Council—your fellow students, elected by a student vote. Still not sure what they do, exactly? Wander through the SUB. Visit the Exec in their offices. Check out a Pit Night. Catch a movie at the Norm. Join a club. Run in an election. The AMS is here j because of you, and they want to make you happy. So take advantage! You're in for one hell of a year. ~^ + A message from UBC's President Since its opening in 1915, UBC has been committed to providing an education of the highest quality, to prepare our graduates for their chosen careers and the part they will play in the growth and prosperity of our society. I have no doubt that you will be presented with many learning opportunities this year, both formal and informal. Take every advantage of those opportunities: set your sights on learning. You, as individuals, as outstanding students, are the keystone of our University. You have the responsibility and the opportunity to learn, ask questions, seek answers, and move beyond what is presented to you. Enjoy the process and the outcome. Please accept my best wishes for success in all that you do at UBC over the coming year. I look forward to sharing with you the unique strengths and endless opportunities to be found at this great University. —Martha C. Piper, President presubc© interchange, ubc. ca www.ams.ubc.ca ffraPiBl. Like, you know, that movie, the one with Kurt Russell Wolverine has the X-Men. Superman has the Super-friends. Batman has the Bat-Wing. You? You have your AMS Executive. Elected by students every January, these fine young people—students, just like you—take care of everything from keeping the SUB running to lobbying the Federal Government on your behalf. Their super powers? Intelligence, responsibility, and awe-inspiring organizational and problem solving skills. They have some big jobs to handle. Among them, they have to manage an $9.5 million budget, over 200 clubs, one huge university bureaucracy and three levels of government. They've also got the toughest boss in the business: you and your 39 thousand friends. So take a glance through their profiles, get to know them, and put them to work. Remember: the X-Men would be pretty lame without Wolverine. + President: Oana "Miss Fantastic" Chirila i Office: SUB 256 | Phone: 822-3972 i Email: president@ams.ubc.ca As president, Miss Fantastic leads the AMS Executive and chairs several AMS Committees. She makes sure that the AMS is com-^l municating as well as possible with students and that its day-to-daytf^ operations are in perfect synch with its long-term visions. Thanks to^ a fortunate spaceship accident that exposed her to superpower-giv-' ing cosmic radiation, Miss Fantastic is able to massage the gears of government on students' behalf by being enormously stretchy and flexible and resisting bureaucratic attack by being rubbery. And when not working out in the chambers of power, you can find her taking in some sun in the SUB upstairs courtyard or on Wreck Beach. She is a true super-student. A gorilla and a bear fight in an empty field. Who wins and why? (Or, what gives you such wise and calm assurance?) "Whichever one is female. I was watching the Learning Channel and this momma bear fought and defeated a male intruder bear twice her size.

She chairs the AMS's hiring, budget, safety, commu-/1 nity planning and sexual assault support services fund committees!^ She's also working hard to make sure that students are informed about upcoming campus development, that safety concerns are being addressed, and that teaching evaluations are being released— along with any general concerns of university life. She works hard, she chills harder. With no greater super-power than being able to get away with wearing a skirt over her pants (an anomaly caused from eating an overripe organic carrot), Flower Child balances all of this work with partying at International House, eating veggie lunches, and resting on a Resource Group couch while listening to Beck's Sea Change. A gorilla and a bear fight in an empty field. Who wins and why? (Or, what makes you the most darling Executive?) "The bear. 'Bear' starts with 'B' and so does my last name and I always win."

He also helms the society's sponsorship and | fundraising activities. Though his superpowers are mostly limited to budgeting, he does have psychokinetic powers and a talking car, which he puts to good use in the SUB Arcade. He's also the sportiest of the super-students, playing in the Howe League Intramural Basketball. Jam with him there, or drop by his office and jam to J.T.'s Justified. Gorilla vs. Bear!

The Captain is in charge., of overseeing the activities of AMS clubs, Resource Groups and varP ous subsidiaries, along with SUB renovations and bookings. He also brings the voice of students to the University's sustainability and alcohol policies. And he listens to Sean Paul. His super-powers, in his own words: "I have the power to summon winds which blow away oppression. I do this by hanging out in coffee shops on Commercial Drive, banging drums, wearing bandannas and complaining about Capitalism." Seriously, folks: he does this. Drop by his office—it has tea, soft lighting, and Sean Paul—for a confidential chat about anything. The Cap'n likes liaising with- his constituents. Gorilla and bear in an empty field. Who wins? (Or, demonstrate how you are the Exec with the most time on your hands.) "The gorilla because she has the smarts and finesse. Have you ever seen a gorilla eat fruit from a tin?

Keeping track of off-campus goings on, he handles govern^ ment relations—municipal, provincial and federal—for the AMS, as well as liaising with other student societies about various educational issues. Don't be fooled—he is a true campus citizen, a regular participant in Storm the Wall and perhaps a too-regular participant at the Pit Pub. But Rambo Killer isn't all sunshine and candycanes: "I have the uncanny ability to dropklck naysayers from anywhere. Yeah, that's right, even if I'm sitting down and somebody is bothering me, I can dropkick from a seated position." He also claims to have lasers, so watch out. Gorilla. Bear.

Practicing on old exams is an excellent complement to regular studying, and tests your course knowledge before the real final. Unfortunately, solutions are not available for every exam, and exams are not available for every course. However, the Database is updated regularly, so check back often. www.ams.ubc.ca ams.ubc.ca/services/index.htmi 19 Integrating faith and life within the UBC Community ANGLICAN-St. Anselm's Church Roberta Fraser • 604-224-1410 roberta.fraser@telus.net BAPTIST (Cdn Southern) Kelly Manire • 604-274-1746 kellyandjeanne@telus.net m m m MUSLIM Ismail Laher • 604-822-5882 laher@interchange.ubc.ca PENTECOSTAL Arthur Howard • 604-222-0160 arthurhoward@hotmail.com PRESBYTERIAN St. Andrew's Hall • 604-822-9723 housing@standrews.edu JEWISH Eyal Lichtmann • 604-2244748 eval@interchange.ubc.ca UBC CHAPLAINS ASSOCIATION Peter Fischer • 604-224-1614 UNITED CHURCH peterhf@interchange.ubc.ca Seiichi Ari9a # 604-908-4874 uccm@interchange.ubc.ca ROMAN CATHOLIC 604-822-4463 UNIVERSITY CHAPEL Jim O'Neill • frjimo@stmarkscollege.ca David Booker • 604-222-0800 Gertrude Jocksch • gjocksch@tmarkscollege.ca david@universitychapel.org Chaplains Website: http://chaplains.students.ubc.ca IJ^tSlldvor Tirol^oijust making it?

Q n one hand, paying for your own education is an empowering experience, a ten- ttive but exciting first step into the realm of adulthood. On the other hand, you have to pay for your own education, which sucks bad. Like Aqua Man. Anywho, here's a nice guide to avoiding bankruptcy before your 20th birthday. + Scholarships These equal free money, and (most of the time) since they're based on academic merit you don't even have to apply for them. Got the highest standing in a Canadian history course? Congratulations! You just won the Edward and Mary Cooke Memorial Prize. Most are departmental, some are university-wide. Ask your department or the Awards and Financial Aid office for more info (page 25). %BE_f + Bursaries Like scholarships, but based on financial need. Anyone can qualify so long as your student loan fails to cover your expenses (tuition, books, and living expenses). You can get an application form at Brock Hall as early as August and submit it by September 15; you'll be informed by December. For more information, go to students.ubc.ca/finance/bursaries/winter.cfm. + Student Loans Defer your bankruptcy to your 30th birthday. You're asking the government for money, so be prepared to deal with lots of complicated forms. Honestly, it's too much to write about here. Check out students.ubc.ca/finance/loans. + Student Jobs Subsidize your education by exploiting yourself on the free market. The AMS is always hiring students to staff its many businesses and services. Likewise, UBC and Point Grey have loads of student-friendly work. Check out AMS Joblink (p. 21), UBC Career Services (page 21) and the Ubyssey (page 108) for listings throughout the year. RBC 10th & Sasamat Branch Royal Bank 4501 W. 10th Ave., Vancouver BC (Near Safeway at the UBC Gates) 3* Banking For information on our banking services please call 604-665-5950 Visit our Cash Counter in the University Village Pharmacy Ills + Budgeting The real trick, of course, is not spending the money you do have. This means making a budget and following it (suck it up, champ). Lucky for you, we've provided a sample to help you out. "Revenues" is all the stuff you're sure that's coming to you—scholarships, loans, bursaries and salary (throw in the Bank of Mom & Dad if you want). "Expenses" is what wants to suck you dry: tuition, housing, food. Make liberal estimations so you don't surprise yourself with debt in January and find yourself suddenly moved from Totem to a bench/bucket combo on Alma. + Be Cheap Buy vintage clothes. Read used books. Drink Colt 45. Or go to the damn library. (See pages 89-95 for all sorts of great places to shop across town.) Remember what Method Man says: "Can't stand [fellows] that floss so much / Can't stand Bentley's, they cost too much." In other words, there's no need to show off your expensive clothes, jewelry or luxury cars. You will impress no one, especially not your fellow super- heroes in the Wu-Tang Clan. ■H — — »- -- — — — — — — — — — —-••— — — —i — — — — — — -. — — — — — — — — -, — — ^ i + Buying Books 1 No matter how much you save with no-name butter and artificial mayonnaise ("oil-based • , sandwich spread"), you will one day have to face the inevitable: books. In case you aren't! i already aware, some professors are sociopaths who choose the most arcane, obscure and i i expensive books for their 3 credit course—whether a calculus textbook or a pretty trade i paperback. So unless you enjoy dropping $500 ' a term on something you'll make a point to, avoid, here are some tips about buying books at i UBC: i 1. What books do you need? The list is on the ! Bookstore webpage: www.bookstore.ubc.ca. | Make a note of what you're supposed to have— i required, or just recommended? 2. The bookstore. Expensive books and line-ups galore. If you think ahead, you can order most textbooks over the internet (give yourself a couple of weeks for shipping). Local bookstores (page 90) are also a good alternative. 3. Return your books. Wussed out and went to the Bookstore? Don't worry, hero, the battle's not over yet. The Bookstore has a two- week full return policy. Consider it your safety net if you find a better price somewhere else. AMIABLE MAS Box Office www&tns.mc.ca I _[ fpf1 omg omg rotflmao kthx bye!!!!!!!!!!111 Professor X has Cerebro. Your professor—and Brock Hall, and the AMS, and your classmates and friends—has the Internet. It is, indeed, becoming the most essential communication tool in the super-student's arsenal: it helps you research projects, correspond with profs and friends, and procrastinate on an incredibly profound level. Do you really need to download Kylie's entire Fever? Yes, I think so. And UBC and your AMS want to make it as easy for you as possible. ■ + Your CWL Account Before you can do anything you need a Campus-Wide Login account. They're easy enough to get: just head over to www.cwl.ubc.ca (any computer with internet access will do) and follow the instructions to get your own user ID for all of UBC's network services. It's really no hassle for students. If you have trouble, make sure that you're using a browser that can accept cookies and supports strong encryption. And—for the love of all things pure and good—remember your user- name and password! You'll need them to use just about everything else. + Your Netinfo Account Registered student? You got a free email and dial-up account coming to you. With your CWL login in hand, go to www.netinfo.ubc.ca and sign-up. You now have an email address (dmcgirt@interchange.ubc.ca), 20 hours of free dial-up time, and some space for a webpage. + ResNet If you live in Totem Park, Place Vanier, Thunderbird or Gage residences then you're already hooked up to UBC's high-speed ethemet network, and thus to the internet: check your room for a port. If you don't have the right equipment, ask nicely and pay a $100 deposit at the ITServices' Front Desk (LSK100) (map C3). + E-Learning Ever dreamed of doing quizzes, labs and whole discussions without ever having to step foot in a classroom—and instead use a frustratingly-designed online application? With WebCT—a part of ITServices' e- learning initiative—that dream has come true. Oh well. lebwnlpjwpfr + Public Access Computers Free computers are scattered around UBC like freckles on Jimmy Olsen. The AMS has some in the South Side lounge, and the Library has a bunch in just about every branch (page 50). Check with your faculty, department and Undergrad Society too (page 105). + Wireless Science can transmit "Ignition (Remix)" over the ether, so why not your e-mail too? ITServices' wireless initiative has finally made this so; all you need is a laptop with a 802.11B compliant wireless ethernet card to take advantage. Check out www.wireless.ubc.ca to find out which areas of campus are wireless-friendly. + myUBC Check your email anytime, any place with any computer—just point your browser to my.ubc.ca. Think of it as a lo-fi Hotmail. + Customer Support Monitor on fire and you're not sure why? ITServices provides free email (help®itservices.ubc.ca) and phone (822-2008) support to all of its customers (that's you!). Remember: have your username ready and be patient—the friendlier you are, the better service you'll get. + Aside: Rate My Kitten Need to have your kitten rated? Go to www.ratemykitten.com. IfpR?^ There's books everywhere as if the party sucked. Jorge Luis Borges envisioned a library that stretched infinitely out into time and space and contained every book in every possible language that could ever possibly be written. Think about that for a second. Pretty terrifying eh? + UBC Card The university is making a lot of noise over the UBC Card, but, like Jubilee it only amounts to one dorky thing: a library card. Though it is really shiny and cool and can sujpsedly, one day be used as a copier/key/meal card, its main purpose— and place in your heart—will always to borrow books from the library So qet one and don't lose it. + The Webpage UBC Library is spread out over 14 buildings, from Point Grey to Robson Square Lucky for you, there's only one website for all of them: www.iibrary.ubc.ca You can renew and request books, look up article indexes, download complete electronic journals and access a plethora of other information services without leaving the comfort of the Bat Cave. It also has open hours and branch locations should you want to talk to real people and read real books. I + Books The library has tons of them, and you can borrow almost every one without any restriction. If you need them longer than two weeks, you can renew them ad infinitum. Or, if some jerk has the book you need, request it and not only will the jerk be unable to renew it, but the library will hold it for you once it's available. The glory of being an undergraduate! + Journals The library has plenty of these too, but you can't take them out. Most are located in Koerner and Woodward branches, cordoned off from the regular books. Use the webpage to search for journal volumes and the articles therein, then go to the library to locate and photocopy what you need. As mentioned, many journals are now available online, so you can save yourself some time with a computer/printer combo. r48j www.library. mJlMn + Reserve Some professors take pity on their students' meagre means and put the required reading in the Reserve Room of your favourite library, and not for sale at the bookstore. The books are usually only available for a two-hour loan, so you will have to leave your room to actually read the material. + Computers As you can tell, UBC Library has a big thing for computers. If you don't have one at home, you're more than welcome to use one of theirs—and there are plenty, dozens in every branch with which to check your email and do research for projects. Sometimes they're busy, so see page 47 for more on computers at UBC. + Fines Considering that the renewal system is almost unlimited and that the library will email you three days before any books are due (you have to give them your email address first, though), you should never have to pay a late fee in your life. But if you do, be prepared for steep fines: from $1/day to $1/hour. Plus, the library will put a hold on any activity related to your student number - so no graduation for you. + Workshops All this a little overwhelming for ya, tough guy? The library, those generous folks, have free workshops in September for anyone curious or confused about the process of Borrowing or Researching in the library. Go to Koerner Library for more information. + The Chapman Learning Commons Tall gothic arches, runeish stained glass windows, lush burgundy upholstery, no- nonsense mahogany desks—it's like a blast from the past, except with new computers and dozens of people talking on cell phones. Yup, the Chapman Commons is pretty great. Fancy new computers (complete with Microsoft Office for your word processing needs) and laptops available for two-hour loan give you no excuse to hand in anything late ever again! your HIGH-TECH HEADQUARTERS! that was easy."1 I jiiK__s5_y_$i Libraries have branches 'cause books come from trees. + Asian Library (Asian Centre - Map B2) 822-2427 Asian language materials. + David Lam Library (Angus - D3) 822-9400 Commerce and business books. + Education Library (Scarfe - E3) 822-3767 Education and curriculum materials, and children's books.

The libraries website describes it as containing "materials relating to pure mathematics," which is bound to offend someone. + Music Library (Music - C3) 822-3589 Music related materials, scores, and a non-circulating records collection. + Rare Books and Special Collections (Main - C4) 822-2521 Non-circulating collections of rare books, western Canadiana, 19th century English literature, early children's literature, manuscripts, UBC theses, historical maps, photographs and archives, including every issue of every UBC newspaper ever. + Science and Engineering Division (Main - C4) 822-3295 Chemistry, physical and geographical sciences, comp sci, engineering, and meteorology.

IB MW^sMM The wonderful world of sharing a washroom. Having a Fortress of Solitude in the wastelands of ttie Antarctic was alright for Superman, but maybe you require something a little closer to campus. UBC Housing is your best bet, with on-campus residences for people of all ages and social aptitudes; some fraternities also offer cheap on-campus housing. Or, if you prefer to do your existential brooding in the Dunbar region, AMS Rentsline makes it easy to find rooms, roommates and landlords. + UBC Housing Living in one of UBC Housing's residences is an adventure in and of itself. On one hand, you're conveniently close to everything (SUB, Libraries, the Pit) and are guaranteed to make at least one BFF (Best Friend Forever!). On the other hand, rez life can be a tad, er, distracting at times, and—beware —you are often subject to the arbitrary policies of the UBC Housing's maze-like bureaucracy. But most people have a fun time in spite of it all. First and second years get to go to Totem Park (map G2) or Place Vanier (map D2) where they are treated to a roommate, a cafeteria, and dorm- style living. Senior students (those age 20+) get their pick of Gage Towers quads (map C6), Fairview Crescent townhouses, or Thunderbird shared 4-bedroom apartment—all are complete with common areas and a cozy (small) kitchen. If you have a family, you get to live in Acadia Park. If you have some money to throw around, you get to live in the spacious Gage Apartments or Thunderbird Condos and wonder why your friends don't talk to you anymore. For the official dirt, go to www.housing.ubc.ca for information on rent costs and meal plans, and for the Resident's Handbook. + Moving in, Moving Out By far the worst part about living on your own is that, every four to eight months, you're moving to some place new. Which is total bummer no matter how you look at it: you gotta pack, find (steal) boxes and tape with which to pack, make sure you don't forget anything (which you will), find (steal) a car or someone with a car who is willing to transport you across campus/town/the country, and then unpack everything into a strange room with strange roommates who, hopefully, are not your parents (again) - you damn quitter. www.housing.u + Summer Stay-Through Isn't rez fun? Some people—weirdos—like it so much that they never leave, thanks to UBC Housing's Summer Stay-Through program which allows Totem, Vanier and Gage kids to stay in Fairview from May to August. This is handy if you're taking summer session classes or have a summer campus job. Unfortunately, you gotta apply by early February (Housing is under the impression that you have your summer plans figured out by then), and you only have a single precious day at the end of April in which to move in before Housing kicks you out of your beloved rez room. I + Your Roommate Whether you're in UBC Rez or out on your own, you will probably have a roommate or two in your undergraduate career. But don't panic: it's as afraid of you as you are of it. Sometimes your roommate might become your best friend; sometimes, however, he or she is a total creep who you will make merciless fun of to your real friends. Just play nice. If it's really that bad, move out or transfer rooms. Keep in mind, that's a worst-case scenario. Talk to your Residence Advisor or landlord before you do anything drastic. | + AMS Rentsline 604-714-4848 | www.amsrentsline.ubc.ca AMS Rentsline is an easy to operate touch-tone and web-based system that connects thousands of landlords with UBC students looking for off-campus housing. UBC student can search the ads for free or place a two week posting for $5. Go to the AMS Box Office outlet (SUBcetera) on the SUB concourse for details.

PI 1H WlTiW A good number of you get sick and tired enough of UBC Rez to want to move off-campus completely. But before you embark into the land of mystery, there's some stuff you should know. With help from Laura Blue and Ginnie Mathers, who actually live off campus Where to Look > Places are always available. Check out classifieds and internet postings, though places close to UBC usually don't advertise: get to steppin' and investigate posts outside of buildings, in the SUB and in the bus loop. m > Expect $350 to $450 per month for a small room in a nice place, or a spacious room in a dump. If you're willing to forgo luxuries like floors that aren't rotten and roofs that don't leak and walls without holes, you can probably find something for $250/month. Also, the closer to UBC, the more expensive. Make sure you're close to bus routes if you don't have a car, a laundromat if you don't have a laundry machine, and a grocery store if you aren't a farmer. Maintenance > Before you agree to anything, walk through the apartment with the landlord or manager. Do not assume that everything works. Make a list of any damage to the apartment, and try out the taps and toilets to make sure that they're doing their thing (brown water is bad water); also keep in mind that buildings are required to clean the carpets and repaint between tenants. Look for electrical outlets, and note how many and where they are. All of this is important: if you don't like the looks of things, it's time to move on. Safety > This is important. Do the windows have safety locks? Do visitors have to be buzzed in? Is the building secure? Make sure that your landlord can answer these questions. Also, make sure that your roommates are people you trust. If anything goes horrendously wrong, you'll have to deal with it yourself or the boys in blue. Which is lame. The Landlord > Your landlord or manager ought to live in the building. Live-in managers tend to mean that problems on-site will be dealt with quickly. Also, a landlord who doesn't want to live in his or her own building is generally a bad sign. Your Rights > Be aware of your rights as a tenant - and your manager's rights as a landlord. For instance, your landlord can increase the rent by 10% on the anniversary of your moving in. For more handy information like that, call the Landlord-Tenant Information Line at 604-660-3456 or go to www.tenants.bc.ca.

But in the meantime, you might want to consider alternative means by which to travel to and from campus—and as cheaply and quickly as science will allow. Even Superman took the bus when his cape was broken. ■ + U-Pass Last year students voted to adopt a Universal Transportation Pass for the cost of $20/month ($15/month of you live on campus). The pass itself functions as an all-zones bus pass during the Winter Session, and the monthly fee goes towards transportation improvements for all commuters - whether you walk, run, bike or ride.

K^™"fl*'#.'™l + Bike Co-op 822-BIKE I www.ams.ubc.ca/clubs/bikecoop One of the most beloved AMS Clubs, the Bike Co-op offers several programs that make it easier for cyclists to get to and around UBC—and for everyone else to get off their asses and do the same. 1. The Purple and Yellow Bike Project. By joining the Co-op and going to a work- party, you will get a key that grants you access to a fleet of 200 purple and yellow bikes. They are free to use anytime, anywhere on campus. 2. The Bike Kitchen. A non-profit business owned by the Bike Co-op, the Kitchen is a full-service bike service and repair shop. Bring your bike anyday from 11am to 6pm to the SUB Loading Dock (map C5) and, for $6/hour, use their tools to fix your bike yourself; for $18/hour, have them teach you how to fix your bike; for $32/hour, watch them fix your bike for you. They also sell new and used parts for dirt cheap. Go to their website www.members.shaw.ca/bike_kitchen/ to find out more. 3. The Bike Co-op will soon be moving into a brand new bike facility space in the SUB Lower Level!

Your classes are like the X-Men's mutant powers: all students have them, but no class is the same as the rest. Of course, "increasing one's appreciation of molecular biology" and "the uncanny ability to induce sleep" are not really on-par with "normal" super powers like laser eyes. Not even in the Green Lantern's sucky super hero universe. I + Arts Arts classes are lectures (from 30 to 100 students), seminars (a dozen or so) and tutorials or discussion groups (less than ten). No matter the size, you are expected to participate—a considerable portion of your grade depends on it. But so long as you have read the material and have questions to ask, you should be ok. If you're really shy about talking in class, talk to your prof during office hours and work out an alternative way to make the grade. Papers > There's no one right way to write a paper: like jazz, if you have to ask, you don't know. But if you're having trouble, get in touch with AMS Tutoring or UBC's Writing Centre (page 19) Tests > More likely than not, mid-terms and finals in Arts classes amount to an in-class essay (or two or three). Some kids prepare by writing out whole essays beforehand, memorizing 'em, and spewing it all out on the test day. For those of us with social lives, reading the material and having a general idea about what you'll write about will suffice. Ask your prof if you can use pre-written notes or other secondary materials (like a dictionary). Cool programs > Whether you've gone through Artsl, Foundations or a general program in your first year, you may want to enrol in the Honours program of the department of your choice. Smaller classes, better discussion, a little more work —and profs are nicer to you. Ask your professors for more information; in some cases you can apply for an honours degree as late as your fourth year. Fine Arts > Fine Arts is a blast if you'd rather draw and paint than write essays and read novels. You'll have to start with a basic studio course unless you (and your portfolio) can convince the department that you're too cool for all that. And while art makes for awesome homework, watch out—it's a lot harder to whip out a painting than it is to type up a shoddy essay, so pace yourself. What makes this faculty great > Arts has everything: "hard" arts (Studio, Film, Theatre, Creative Writing), "soft" sciences (Psychology, Geography, the Social Sciences) and liberal arts (Math, English, History and Philosophy). Want to major in English while focusing on the psychology of Canadian cinema - and write your essays in verse? Whatever floats your boat, tiger. For more info... > Arts Advising (www.advising.arts.ubc.ca); your department office (www.arts.ubc.ca); the Arts Undergraduate Society (page 96). _r El±sl_\ + Sciences—Pure, Applied, and otherwise. In the 16th century, science was equated with "natural philosophy," and no different (broadly speaking) in the hierarchies of academia than math or religion. Now scientists have their own faculty (plural, if you count Forestry, HKin, ApSci and AgSci as representative of UBC's sciences, which, for space reasons, we must) and their own way of doing things. Labs > Labs are where you find out that your profs aren't lying: you can see for yourself how theory works out in reality. Sounds pretty cushy, but often you're expected to write lab reports because reality is never quite as perfect as the theory (your profs aren't lying - you're just dumb). You will be marked on the soundness of your method and approach. This is also a great opportunity to ask your TA questions or impress your cute lab partner. Tests > More with the mathy and not so much with the writey, though the farther you go in your field the more complicated the answers will be, necessitating more writing. So you'll never be able to escape your ignorance totally (unless you go to every class and study a lot — which, if you're reading this, obviously hasn't happened). Working through past exams is always a good call: check out the AMS Exam Database (page 19) or a department club, like Math or Biosoc. Cool programs > Honours programs will give you the prep you need for grad school. Integrated Science and Science/Arts majors are becoming huge with the new school-wide trend towards interdisciplinary studies. Co-op and exchange are also options. Co-op is often required for many degrees, though exchange is not recommended for you Engineers who have rather large course loads.

L j + Commerce (Sauder School of Business) More is taught than calculus and economics: in Commerce you need to apply the abstract maths to real-world problems and evaluate how things might work out in reality. So participation is important. Classes usually have about 30 to 40 people, most of whom aren't "joiners" and will never speak up; earn some brownie points by contributing to the discussion. Tests > They aren't too hard. Make friends with older Commerce kids and get their old exams to practice from, making test time a joke. Cool programs > Co-op and exchange. See below... What makes it great > Commerce's insane student fees get you a ton of free lunches and career seminars.

It can include unwanted kissing, touching, or forced sexual intercourse. As well, consent cannot legally be given if a person is voluntarily or involuntarily intoxicated and/or if they have been pressured or coerced into engaging in sexual contact. Sexual assaults are usually committed by men against women; however, anyone can be a survivor of sexual assault, including men and sexual assault can occur between people of the same sex. Survivors of sexual assault are the victims of a violent crime. It is irrelevant what they wore, whether they knew the person or not, where they were, or whether they were under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the assault. Sexual assault is never a survivor's fault! Sexual assault is not about sex; it involves one or more people asserting power and control over another person. If you have been sexually assaulted, the Sexual Assault Support Centre (SASC) on campus (located downstairs in the SUB, rooms 57 and 58) can provide you with caring, non-judgmental support, information, and referrals. For more information on sexual assault, including rape myths, safety tips, medical and legal information, memory loss drugs, how to support a friend, effects of sexual assault, and more, go to www.wavaw.ca and click on the Young Women's Project.

Students have health issues. Every so often, they get colds, toothaches, and pregnant. UBC has a number of services to take care of you in any condition, and because you're a student you're likely to get your care for free, or at least for less than it would cost if you were a real person. The AMS Health & Dental Plan will also help foot the bill (next page, captain!). + Student Health Services (F5) UBC Hospital M334 I 822-7011 I students.ubc.ca/health Student Health Services provides nursing, health education, psychiatric services, crisis intervention, sports medicine, emergency specialty services and immunizations to all registered students; flu vaccinations are provided for high-risk students and faculty between October and January.

The AMS/GSS Health & Dental Plan is extended health coverage, designed specifically for students to fill gaps left by provincial health care and other private health coverage. This plan was chosen by student referendum in 1999 in which students voted to implement a group health and dental plan, and was kept after a 2001 referendum in which students chose to preserve it. More detailed information about the plan, including claim and enrolment forms, is always available at www.studentcare.net, SUB 61, or by phone 1-877-795-4421. + Who's Covered? All students taking credit classes (even if auditing) in the 2003/2004 Winter Session are automatically enrolled in the plan. Exceptions do exist, however, so check your fee statement online at http://ssc.adm.ubc.ca (look for the "AMS med/dent fee" line item. By paying an additional fee, you can enroll your spouse or dependents in your plan. Same sex couples are eligible. + What is covered and how much does it cost? The Plan introduces benefits for prescription drugs, travel health coverage, vision care, psychologist, dental benefits and more. The total cost of the plan is $187 per student, included automatically with university fees each September. The policy year is from Sept. 1, 2003 to Aug. 31, 2004. Students beginning in January 2004 will be charged $124.67 for coverage starting from Jan. 1. + How do I submit a claim? Your health plan applies all over the world. To claim a reimbursement, pick up a claim form from the Health Plan office or download one from the StudentCare website. Include your Student Number and the Health Plan Group Number 9Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada, group number 56856). + What if I already have health and dental coverage? If you are covered by another extended plan (i.e. parent or spouse's employee plan), you can combine both plans to maximize your overall coverage andreduce or eliminate out-of-pocket costs. You may also choose to opt out of the AMS/GSS Plan and have the fee reversed from your student account. All opt outs must be completed within the Change of Coverage Period (see below). If it is your first time opting out, you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage. You can opt out online at www.studentcare.net or at the Health Plan Office. + Change-of-Coverage Period Students can opt out or enrol their family during the following periods only: F0r p> *s starting in September: Sept. 2 to 23, 2003. For siuuents starting in January (new Term 2 students): Jan 5 to 26, 2004. We be documentin' like Maestro. u ~~~ BC has been, from the get-go, shaped by its students. Believe it or not, it Was kids like us who wanted a university in the first place, and everything since then as been entirely our fault. All the cool stuff, anyway. + Pre-History 1899-1900: Vancouver College, primarily a high school, begins offering post- secondary courses accredited by Montreal's McGill University. Six students enrol in the post-secondary program (enrollment reaches 30 in 1905). Fall 1906: McGill University College of British Columbia (McGill BC) opens, replacing the post-secondary program at Vancouver College and offering university-level instruction to 48 students (enrollment in later years rises to about 300). Fall 1907: McGill BC's students organize a student society known as the Alma Mater Society. First president: F.J. Shearer. + Fairview Campus Sept 1915: Opening of UBC, first true university in the province, temporarily housed in McGill BC's old buildings (called the "Fairview Shacks") at 12th and Oak. + The Colours Way back in 1915, UBC's Committee of Academic Costume wanted our colours to be Green, Black and Gold. President Wesbrook, however, thought otherwise. Unbeknownst to the committee, he had already designed UBC's crest in blue and gold; the Committee duly apologised for their "misapprehension." -^Compiled by Sheldon Goldfarb, AMS Archivist Oct 15, 1915: Birthday of the Alma Mater Society (AMS) of UBC; students meet and adopt constitution for new student society; Sherwood Lett elected first AMS President later that month. 1915-16: First student clubs at UBC: two debating clubs (one for each gender); the Players' Club (theatre); the Glee Club (now MusSoc). Oct 17, 1918: First issue of new student newspaper called the Ubyssey. Oct 28,1922: The Great Trek. All 1200 UBC students march from the Fairview campus to the site of the still unbuilt campus in Point Grey (the current campus), demanding that the government provide the money needed for construction. (The government agrees.) + Point Grey: 1925-1965 Nov 9,1929: Official opening of UBC's first gymnasium, built with money raised by the AMS: first of many campus building projects initiated by students through the AMS. 1936-37: Film Society founded; first year's film presentations include Thunder over Mexico, Fra Diavolo, and Ali Baba. Sept 1937: Distant origin of CiTR. AMS begins weekly half-hour radio broadcasts on local radio station (directed by a new club, the Radio Society). Jan 31,1940: Official opening of Brock Hall, the first UBC student union build- mm wPTmuiSWifi I ing, paid for largely by funds raised by the AMS. Dec 1956: The Second Trek. A student petition campaign convinces the government to increase funding for the University. Mar 1963: The Third Trek (the "Back Mac" Campaign). Students march, boycott classes, and petition in support of UBC President John B. Macdonald's request for increased funding and greater access to higher education. + Point Grey: Since 1965 Sept 26, 1968: Opening of current Student Union Building (the SUB), paid for largely by AMS funds. Oct 24, 1968: Urged on by U.S. hippie leader Jerry Rubin, thousands of UBC students occupy the Faculty Club. The AMS Student Council condemns the occupation, but helps organize a teach- in the following week on university reform. Nov 28, 1968: Opening of The Pit, the first student pub on campus, temporarily located on the second floor of the SUB until a permanent home could be made for it in the SUB basement. The Pit's name, which was probably given to it because of the plans to move it to the basement, was suggested by David Suzuki, the noted environmentalist and at the time a UBC faculty member. Nov 19,1973: The Pit opens in its new location, in the SUB basement. Beer goes on sale for 40 cents a bottle. Dec 1974: Students elected to the University Board of Governors for the first time (one is Svend Robinson). Feb 4, 1986: Bowing to protests, the Engineers replace their annual Lady 1 + The Mascot •&*_< , Despite overwhelming popular i demand for Seagulls, the Ubyssey | sports department chose the i Thunderbird as UBC's athletic mas- 1 cot in 1934. Ever since, our varsity i teams have been known as the T- 1 Birds, but the use of the mythologi- [ cal creature wasn't officially sanc- i tioned by the Kwicksutaineuk tribe ! until a ceremony in 1948. Godiva ride with a mock funeral procession, but then stage a strip show in the Hebb Theatre. (The rides subsequently resumed for a few more years, but were discontinued after 1989.) 1994-95: The Ubyssey, until then an AMS publication, does not publish all year, following conflicts with the AMS Executive sparked by controversial articles in 1993-94. In 1995-96, the Ubyssey is reborn as an independent publication (no longer published by the AMS). Nov 25, 1997: The summit of leaders from member nations of APEC (the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation organization) turns violent as protesters on campus are pepper sprayed by police. The incident leads to widespread condemnation of the police, lawsuits, and a public inquiry. Feb-Mar 2002: BC Liberal government lifts tuition freeze; UBC raises fees for first time since mid-1990's. UBC students occupy UBC administration offices in protest. Feb-Mar 2003: UBC teaching assistants go on strike until legislated back to work. A settlement is later reached through arbitration. 71 University Village Medical & Dental Clinic ^_ 604-222-CARE? # ,j • ft ----_*^3Pg_< ' i O eri e ijalR Pr aab t i le #1 , MinorEmetaeaci^k ^^^P^pT_Bfff^ JMon -IFri 8:00 am - 8:30 pm ii mm w^tobsth I 60*l|"34-6& I-LES I^Bqb^^^ DMD |' r M n^' l|a; cl-lce;A 2 S^K-qps..^ *|le a n t ngs' ' jff wMHwRX e r r .aJEsUteel i cjplrnttalf^ conveniently located in the Village across from the park #228 _ 2155 Allison Road Vancouver, BC V6T1T5 ^UNIVERSITY ^ Pharmacy Ltd.

Some people think that not washing your clothes is a cool hobby. However, these are the same people that call B.O. 'pheromones'. You don't want to be like these people, and that means you're going to have to do some laundry (you'll have to shower as well, but you can't actually need instructions on that too, can you?). Here's how to do it. Sorting > Segregation is now illegal in all of the ten provinces, two territories, fifty states, and assorted regions of Mexico that make up North America, but you'll be happy to know that washing machines are completely exempt from these laws. In fact, sorting your clothes by colour is still very much encouraged, as mixing them can lead to stained clothing and riots. Sort your clothes! Your reds will stay red, your whites will stay white, and everyone will colour coordinate! Detergent > Use your judgement on this one—too little and the clothes won't get clean, but too much and you'll look like you've got a dependence problem. If you add a little bit of Alum, available at grocery stores, your darks won't fade or bleed. Washing > Make sure the clothes are distributed evenly around the machine. It works better that way. The hotter the water you use, the cleaner the clothes will get. However, hot water is tougher on the clothes, and is more likely to shrink 'em. Drying > If you clean out the dryer's lint trap before you put your clothes in, they'll dry faster and you won't start an electrical fire. These are two good things. Again, if your clothes are likely to shrink, don't put them in here, or at least use the low heat setting. Clothes that hang to dry can be put in the dryer for a couple of minutes initially so they don't wrinkle. > If you fold your clothes when they're warm, all the wrinkles will disappear. If you then take them back to your room and dump them on the floor, all the wrinkles will reappear. \ I machine, gentle Jp^C ^jAr^ NO BLEACH!

Students need food in order not to dje. Students need money in order to buy food. Students have no money. Must, then, students die? No way, Jose! Here are some tips on how to buy good food on a budget, and recipes for how to prepare said food so as to avoid starvation. Also, according to everybody's mom, a full stomach equals a happy brain, which is another way of saying that you will do better in school if your stomach's not trying to eat itself. + Hungry Man's Spaghetti Sauce Two small cans of tomato paste Two 500ml cans of diced tomatoes Two 750ml cans of tomato sauce Olive oil One onion, diced One dozen mushrooms, sliced 500g ground beef (optional) Handful of dried basil Four cloves of garlic, diced Set aside three hours for this. Get a big- ass pot and pour in the olive oil until it's half an inch deep. Heat it, and add your onions, garlic, basil and mushrooms. Old Butch FOODS LTD. Everybody's flavour favourite wishes all the new and returning students a great year!! Old Outch Everybody's Flavour Favourite FOODS LTD. This is the sauce's base: let it simmer 5- 10 minutes and stir it around a bunch. Stir in the diced tomatoes (and any other vegetables you want) and let everything simmer a while more. Add in the tomato sauce and stir; ditto tomato paste. If you want this to be a meat sauce, brown the beef, drain it, and stir it in. Let the whole thing simmer for, like, an hour, stirring every five minutes. Pour hot over cooked pasta. Freeze leftovers; will provide single person with seven meals. + Poor Couple's Pasta Sauce One can diced tomatoes One clove garlic, diced Couple of fresh basil leaves Olive oil A nice and quick dinner for two (it's also really good if you have a cold). Get a saucepan and pour in enough olive oil to coat the bottom. Heat, and add the garlic. When the garlic's brown, stir in the tomatoes and basil. Let the damn thing simmer for a while, and pour hot over cooked pasta. Salad and wine would be a nice touch too, Casanova. + Sandwich of Destiny Two eggs, fried . One cheese sandwich, grilled Fixin's Fry two eggs in a saucepan—such that the result is a kind of egg patty. Meantime, make a grilled cheese sandwich—preferably with cheap Wonderbread™ and too much butter. When both are done, separate the sandwich and put in the egg patty and www.ams.u ifiSiIfL your fixin's. Your destiny? If you eat it all, you will be our friend. + Victory Meal One box Macaroni & Cheese 150g ground beef 8 Pack Labatt's Wild Cat Strong Fry beef. Make macaroni. Combine (undrained beef fat can substitute for butter in macaroni). Serve with Wildcat, or any similarly priced alcoholic beverage, and ketchup to taste. Reflect long and hard on the life you lead. +Cheese Dreams Any kind of bread and cheese that has been sitting around in your cubboard or fridge for weeks and will expire tomorrow. If the bread's not pre-sliced, slice it now. Grate the cheese and portion it out among each slice of bread. You can add other stuff too, like bacon or diced vegetables. Put the slices on an oven tray and stick it in the oven (preheat to, say, 350F). Once the cheese melts, they're ready to eat. + Karen's Amazing Beef Stew 3lbs stewing beef 2 tbsp vegetable oil 4 whole carrots 5 potatoes 4 onions 2 cloves garlic 1 can tomatoes 2 stalks celery 1 tsp Worchester sauce 2 tbsp flour 2 Vz cups beef broth % tsp basil In a gigantic pot, brown beef in vegetable oil.

Then add your chopped carrots and celery, can of tomatoes (undrained), beef broth, Worchester sauce, and basiL Bring it all to a boil, then turn heat down and let it simmer for 90 minutes.

Drinking happens on campus. If you don't drink, good for you—and don't let anyone tell you different. If you choose to drink, that's cool too—so long as you take care to be smart and have fun. Drinking should be a fun, social activity; not scary and regrettable. Follow these tips to keep it that way. H + Hangovers This is the suckiest part of drinking, and it's easy enough to remedy—or at least to lessen the effect. Just plan. Eat something before you start drinking, and drink in moderate amounts; drink water in between drinks; don't mix drinks; don't drink drinks that you know you don't like. Drink some water before you go to bed. If still wake up feeling like cheese, then you're on your own, sailor. Note: At no point should you take aspirin when drinking: it messes with your stomach and will not help your hangover. + Watch Your Drink! Keep your drink in sight at all times, especially if you're drinking by yourself in a crowded bar or party, or if you're with people you don't know very well. Some people—though they seem nice—might not have the best intentions, like Dr. Dre and Knoc-Turn'al. + In Search of Lost Time If you drink in excessive amounts, your body will hate you and go on strike. Which means passing out, possibly in an unsafe place. Which is about as smart as it sounds. + Don't Drive, You Knob Designated Drivers are your friend. You watch TV. You know this. So get someone else to drive for you—like a DD, a cab or a bus (page 55)—or get a bus pass for "emergency" evenings and save yourself a life or two. Check out UBC Counterattack for more information about how dumb drinking and driving is. + Keep Things Unbroken Back in the day, Vandals were uneducated Norsemen who broke stuff that didn't belong to them. Nobody liked them then, and no one would now. So, next time you're about to smash a window or paint your name on a wall, think about how many people will be impressed, how small that number is, and how much you need a hug. www3.bc.sympati If, 1 + Your Call is Last Call Don't feel like drinking tonight? Then don't. You know best. If your friends are pressuring you, then maybe it's time to take off and do you own thing. And if you pressure someone into having a drink, you're a pretty sad friend. + AA Ain't Just Batteries Anymore ^ If your greatest accomplishment at UBC is that time you "drank so much"; if all of W& the stories you tell your friends begin with "I drank so much"; if your life's organ- Eising principle is how you intend to drink so much, then maybe you should consider Alcoholics Anonymous. It doesn't mean you're a weak or a bad person. You just need help. Call (604) 434-3933 for more info. ■I I + Drinking II: Drinking Smart, Post-Grad ■ Like we said, drinking can be fun when done right. So here are some tasty drink — mixes we learned about.

Exxon Valdez 3/4oz Blue Curacao 3/4oz Rumple Minze 3/4oz Jagermeister Layer in shot glass, Curacao on bottom. God The Prairies Are Boring As Hell Grain Alcohol Drink, sans company, until you pass out and forget about how sad your life is. Pirate Blood 1/2oz Raspberry Liqueur 1/2oz Captain Morgan's Shake with ice and strain into shot glass. Ye filthy landlubber. Nyar. Russian Roulette 1/2 oz. Vodka 1/2 oz. Galliano 1/2 oz.

Sangria De Satan 1oz Tequila 1oz Tabasco 1 slice of Lemon This is one to drink with the friends. Suck the juice out of the lemon, then shoot the Tabasco—everyone holds it in their mouth as long as they can. Put the fire out with the Tequila, and repeat. Violently III 1oz Vodka 1oz Milk 1 slice of Lime Mix the milk and lime in a shot glass. Add vodka, shoot, and find out where this one gets its name. Jim Crow 1/2oz Polish Pure Spirit 1/2oz Stolichnaya Vodka 1/2oz White Sambuca Mix and serve. Yes, it's 2003 and we're beyond that now. I f_f?f_l____Wt Waste not, want not like it's 1939! Universities seek to nurture healthy communities and economies through education and research. Today, more than ever before, universities are realizing they also need to set good social, environmental and economic examples for their societies to follow. In 1997, we became the first university to implement a sustainable development policy. One year later, UBC opened Canada's first Campus Sustainability Office. Today, in areas ranging from aca- demia to waste reduction, thousands of campus community members are taking part in UBC's innovative sustainability initiatives. For more information or to get involved visit www.sustain.ubc.ca. + Facts > Each year UBC uses more than 4.2 billion litres of water—that's 450 times more than all the water in the Vancouver Aquarium. > Each year UBC emits more than 60 million kilograms of C02 due to the energy requirements of campus buildings. That's the equivalent of driving from Vancouver to Halifax and back more than 20,000 times! > Each year UBC consumes 146 million kWh of electricity—enough to meet the needs of 14,600 homes. > UBC used 106 million sheets of paper used in 2001. That translates into: 8,300 trees cut down, 19,000 kilograms of air pollution emitted, enough water to run a shower nonstop for six years, and enough oil for 50,000 years' worth of oil changes for a typical car.

It was pretty cute, and the chicks totally dug it. + Pacific Spirit Place &fa^ Cafeteria-like thing in the SUB Certainly not as organic and natural as its namesake, it is a source of decent tasting corporate food: Subway, Pizza Pizza, Koya Japan, Manchu Wok, plus a salad and pasta bar. ♦ Pages Cafe **% Main Library This is the library's primary deterrent to the campus's most insidious underground practice: eating books. + Pendulum, the ^iJfcSC SUB Lower Level Because it's right beside the Pit Pub, someone thought it would be clever to complete the allusion to one of Edgar Allen Poe's creepiest, most horrifying stories. That's higher education for you. + Pie-R-Squared $* EJJ SUB Concourse It costs more than perhaps you're used to, MASSAGE THERAPY by Registered Massage Therapists Phone for an appointment 604-822-0860 www.westernmassage.ca ^^^^^PP AQUATIC CENTRE ' itmvxsi but the difference in quality is substantial. This will be the best pizza you may ever eat. And the weirdest too. Baked potato pizza. Amazing as the people who make them, I assure you. + Pit, the M'H^W SUB L Level It's the butt of many jokes, but undeniably a campus institution. By day it's a dank sports bar with big screen TVs, pub food and beer. On Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights it's a dank R&B club (free cover for students) with a huge dance floor, frisky students, and beer. Thursday is XFM night, which means live bands usually. Tuesday means $2 pints; incidentally, the same day as cheap night in the SUB Arcade. + Pita Pit, the wm Village Open to 4am and serves nothing but quick, filling—very filling, very tasty—food. The servers may seem a little "sleepy," but that's only because they are fantastic young men and women. Call 221-7488 for delivery! + Pond Cafe, the tf« k_n ig§ Edibles for Foundations kids. Standard UBC Food Services fare. + Post Office ^ SUB Lower Level If you have a student loan, you might want to get in line right now. Note: It's a felony to mail yourself. So much for your big escape plan. + Rose Garden, the £r<3) By the giant flag pole (B4) Remind yourself that you go to school in a calendar by checking out the panoramic vista from the most scenic spot on campus. Also the number one spot to make out on campus, as voted by the kind of people who are too scared to make out in class. <H<2) + Sage Bistro University Centre, west of Rose Garden (B3) Straight from www.sage.ubc.ca: "Gleaming wood parquet floors, art deco architecture and floor to ceiling windows fuse history and tomorrow in our bright, airy European style brasserie. The service style is confident yet unpretentious; lending to conversation and laughter." Ha ha. Come dressed in dark suits and demand shrimp cocktails and toast like in Blues Brothers | Snack Attack f£* flfe |p SUB Lower Level Tons of healthy food like wraps, fajitas, bur- ritos, fruit smoothies, and milk shakes. They also have the delicious Bacon Cheese Dog, which would only be considered healthy on the planet Brando. + SRC Drop-Ins *^J SRC, the thing with an airplane wing for a roof behind the SUB (C5) See how well your NBA Live skills translate into the real world—for free. Plenty of other sports too. Check out www.intramurals.ubc.ca for details. + Steamies #&i§ Inside the Bookstore (D4) When will you sickos stop eating books?

It's also home to UBC's own Ticketmaster Box Office: you'll never have to miss another John Mellencamp concert again. a_/'--\ + SUB Rooftop Patio IP* ^ SUB Upper Level Nice place in which to eat lunch and listen to the sparkling noises of the pond. It's got space heaters too, so you can do this all year round. ^k + Thunderbird Winter Sports Arena Between B1 Lot and Logan Field (G5) W You may think that writing your name in the snow is a "winter sport," but the guys at T- Bird Arena will tell ya different. They will allow drop-in skating, hockey, squash and racquet ball. Again, www.intramurals.ubc.ca is the place to go. jjL /jfa + Trek Express and Pizza Pizza jjj^ Between Angus & David Lam (C3) Need food fast? Like, so fast you don't care that it's Pizza Pizza? They also got pre- made sandwiches that are pretty good and the line ups tend to move pretty quickly. Prices are a bit steep, though. + Tube Steak Guy ijjP* Koerner Plaza (C3) "Tube steak" is certainly one way to describe the contents of a hot dog, though probably not the most accurate. But barbecue is absolutely the best way to cook them. You will have to wait a bit for your feast, but it's worth it: the closest thing to real food without walking to the SUB. + Village Pharmacy g-* Village You need soap, toothpaste, floss, shampoo. You just do. Don't argue with us. Oh, aric| they fill prescriptions too. te\ + Whistler Lodge Well, it's in Whistler (buy your own map) It's not on campus, but it is owned and operated by your AMS. Dormitory accommodations, huge kitchen, hot tub and only a bus ride away from the Village and the slopes— the scene of more than one debauched spectacle. + Wreck Beach t^S Head west along University Blvd And you thought the 60s were over. Vancouver's only clothing optional beach, this place is a cornucopia of middle-aged nudity. Go there during the day to take in the amazing natural scenery (there's eagles nests all over the place, for real) and to get an idea of just how far your bits will drop by the time you're 40. + Yum Yum's #&i| Old Auditorium Basement Reachable only by a top-secret entrance (see below), this place has. got enough processed, greasy Chinese food to fill you up for an afternoon. 86 E> I The Delly has a wide variety of fresh Deli sandwiches Be sure to check out our: • famous fresh chicken breast sandwich • wide variety of wraps (including tandoori and tr chicken!) • yummie chicken, beef or veggie curry on rice • friendly and courteous staff The Delly is located on the SUB werLevel.

So is Vancouver, for that matter. Hi Iere's a list of cool places beyond the UBC gates that we know about, and that you should too. It's good to get away from things every now and then. Moreover, it's a good thing (though by no means a wise thing) to fetter away your student loan on CDs, clothes, and food made by other people. Keep in mind that Vancouver is a pretty huge city and that this list can only show so much: do your own exploring. + 7 Alexander 3W5> Water & Carrall Not so much a club as a place to sip cheap beer and nod your head to amazing hip- hop. Local and not so local performers will show up without any notice. + A&B Sound (\ Seymour & Dunsmuir This should be your first stop in any album buying adventure, as their selection is pretty good and their prices are generally cheaper than anywhere else - especially their fantastic jazz and blues section. + Baskin-Robbins ^*- King Ed. & Cambie They have lots of flavours of ice cream, and sometimes they give it away for free. - Legend tfir Food Jj_\ Coffee Groceries 5^7 Fun! HLiquor f\ Shopping l Student f Deals ^ Open Late is probably not a horror-expressionistic remake of Taming of the Shrew with a German cast, but it certainly couldn't hurt. Do ask the clerks if you're confused: you have much to learn. Hood: Broadway (West) West of Granville to Alma — Point Grey, Kits, whatever: this is the neighbourhood closest to campus, and therefore student friendly; books, music, trendy places to eat. + Black Swan fl ft ■ Black Dog Video Cambie & 18th Sometimes your evening is missing that special something. That special something Broadway & Trutch Is this place out of business yet? By the time you read this, it might be. Which is sad. Best jazz store in town, and the owner could talk your ear off if you let him. Mtl'££MplW% + Blunt Brothers ffift Hastings & Hamilton Get pipes for your tobacco and scales for your science experiments and lighters for your wilderness survival trip. Hood: Broadway (East) __mj&^'-?' East of Granville to Commercial—Bizzaro Kits: computer parts, MEC, sketchy places to eat, but way more of an adventure. + Buy Low Foods g3 4th & Alma Though Safeway will no doubt take care of your regular food needs, Buy Low—next door to BC Liquor—will cover the auxiliaries: chasers, mixers and giant watermelons. + Cafe Crepe #$£ Granville & Robson Right beside Commodore Ballroom, this place will serve your concert appetite well. It's a lot cheaper than the food they serve in the Commodore, and a bit classier than the Burger King down the street (if that matters). + Cambie, the #H Cambie & Cordova c^^' h * ■ ~*\ ^ The quintessential dive bar. Six-dollar hamburgers, four dollar breakfasts and eight dollar pitchers of piss beer—no wonder there's always a line to get in. + Candy Aisle, the 4th & Arbutus Let your parents think what they want: you know that you're still, basically, a five year old. So flaunt it at an old fashioned candy ??Q Co i CO ~n ID"° J2. go X V «» 3 m O ~i — si"P Mil 1 S §-< § CD fa m o CO o o , j CO co -^ w-d : ->» IT ■ ro-8 | 73 " : ■ _».

Would Al Capone lend js name to something sub par? Who knows. He's dead. a + Cherry Bomb Granville & Robson >.%£$ New and used clothing, and lots of decals and accessories. They have belt buckles with ninjas on them, as well as jackets with snap-on sleeves from 1981. Hood: Commercial Drive South of Broadway—All sorts of neat, trendy, cheap stores, restaurants and clubs. Like a hidden fantasy world. ft. + Cobalt, the Main & Terminal What do you get when you combine live metal shows with $1 pints? We don't know because we're too scared (smart?) to find out.

Except don't actually say that to anyone—they'll think you're a dork. + Commodore Bowling #^^^) Granville & Robson Vous aiment le bowling? Oui, c'est vrai— j'aime le bowling! Combien? Beaucoup! En plus, vous etes une vache repugnante! C'est vrai! Ho ho ho! Hood: Gastown .^g* ^ Along Water St and Cordova—It's for tourists, but has some big name clubs... and the Old Spaghetti Factory. + Dentry's Irish Pub <&%$f_) 10th & Sasamat You know you're in a fine establishment when they make their stew with Guinness and have an electronic clock counting down to St Patty's day. Hood: Granville Mall South of the Burrard Inlet, North of False Creek—The heart of downtown: big clubs, concert venues, cool stores; more pawn and porno the further south you go. + Dutch Pannekoek House, de ^ Jj|^ Oak& 16th Don't let Denny's fool you: pancakes are meant to be the circumference of a steering wheel and be covered in eggs and bacon and butter and jam and cheese and shame and gluttony and everything right with the universe. + Commodore, the Hi^2) H Granville & Robson The largest concert venue that doesn't suck outright. Live shows—from the Roots to Nazareth—will play here, and pack a thousand people on to the Commodore's huge dance floor. Drinks are kinda expensive, so if you want to be "festive" you should plan ahead. Tobacco products, however, distribute freely. I Cottage Bistro, the #^£j^ 29th & Main A grimy dive with $4 burgers and $2 pints and live blues. Best pub in town. #Ht^2) Davie & Richards Night club? Restaurant? You'll probably spend more time soaking up the atmosphere (cool art, video projection, and Atmosphere performing) then you will be dancing—but if you do, wait like thirty minutes after eating or you'll get cramps. + Eatery, the 4 Broadway & Waterloo Want to go out but can't decide where to eat? After five minutes of silence, you and your friends will be going to the Eatery. It just sort of happens. The food's pretty good, there are specials everyday, and the service wiLsmm is unbeatable. Not to mention the Astro Boy factor. + Fifth Avenue Cinemas tfr Burrard & 5th Prices are steep, don't be fooled. But it's often the only place to go to see certain kinds of films. Good films that Metrotown doesn't play. And the seats are just as nice and cushy. + FM Classic Pizza ($* Pender & Seymour Only got a dollar in your pocket? If you're in the neighbourhood (A&B sound is just up the block) you've just bought yourself a lunch. Enormous slices—as big as your head. Hood: Granville Island Underneath the Granville Bridge (take the #4 bus)—Touristy, but otherwise cool stores and great food. + Fun in the Sun Jj 4th & Collingwood They sell clothes that other places can't sell —lots of discontinued skatewear, which means sizes tend towards either XXL or S. But if you can find something that fits, expect a bargain. + FWUH A + Golden Age Collectables £j Granville & Robson Like A&B Sound to the Comic Shop's Zulu. This place also has a huge selection of toys and posters and other comic-related merch, though the selection of back issues is not as deep. Also, for those of our readership who are laughing at us right now—cut it out; it makes us cry. + Cellar Jazz #K?^2) Broadway & Alma The days of Parker and Gillespie may be over, but jazz clubs are still cool. Intimate, mellow, and not downtown: this place has it all. €'H^> + Margarita's, las 4th & Maple Honest to gosh Mexican food. We suggest that you order pitcher after pitcher of sangria until you barf. + Naam, the €-H^) 4th & Macdonald Charlie may not get much R&R, but if he were in this Naam, he would no doubt enjoy their fine vegetarian cuisine (from veggie burritos to veggie steaks) for at least a little while—but not for too long. He must remain vigilant against Joe. Beatty & Dunsmuir Every cool piece of hip-hop-related merchandise you could ever want: turntables, mix tapes, skate videos, graf equipment, cool clothing, and Wu Wear. m X <-> CD S CD O cd :-2 3.

Honestly, now. The beer is a bit pricey, but they often have live bands to compliment your dining experience. Also makes for a great Kwanza celebration. + Odyssey, the H^^) Howe & Davie The gay club in Vancouver. Love it, hate it— it's unavoidable: you will make an appearance at some point or other. Features the imaginatively named DJ Zach Shore on Friday nights. + Planetarium, The HR MacMillan £j Chestnut & Cornwall (just by the Burrard Bridge) What's cooler than the infinite beauty and wonder that is the cosmos? Laser Pink Floyd! Every Friday and Saturday! That's what, I tell you! + Piccadilly Pub #HA*3) Like your favourite pub but with the added bonus of live performances of up-and-coming local talent. All Vancouver bands have played the Pic at some point, so who knows what you're missing by not going. F^Tn m1~3 •Puff •■ftfl Robson & Granville While we were confused as to what exactly "puff refers to, we did enjoy their fine selection of glass and ceramic sculpture. They also have a 15% student discount to make such things affordable. South of Hastings—Along with Commercial, this is Vancouver's closest approximation to Toronto's Queen St. strip. + Pumpjack Pub, the ffi'V^'fe^) Davie & Thurlow Gay people consistently think of the most best names. What else can we say? They've outdone us. *Hte^ + Railway Club Seymour & Pender Once the gestation ground for a generation BC leftists, the Railway has since become more of a pub by day and small concert venue by night. Expect pub food and an unspeakable variety of acts. + Richards on Richards <|^>>v3) Richards & Nelson Dicks on Dicks is usually no better than any other club downtown—and often a little bit more seedy. But sometimes cool tours transform it into one of the town's best venues. You've never experienced Andrew W.K. until you've been mere inches from his crazy face. a C- i I 5 < = __ _ «sL O -t: O C _ _t O) o c CM = •>=> © o a .

You might not think so now, but you do. Hood: Surrey Between Richmond and Langley—Did we say "unlike LA"? We take it back. Think of it as HI' Compton. + Safeway g3 10th&Tolmie It's a big name supermarket. You know their deal. This is the one closest to campus, but no doubt there is one in every major neighbourhood. a ■ xxfZ&m* Mj___zzr SiJtt do your vandalism downtown] + Science World £r Main & Terminal We recommend that you do the science experiments prescribed by the proprietors of Puff and Blunt Brothers immediately before you go here. Be sure to keep it a secret, though. + Scratch Records ^a Richards & Georgia The CD selection is kinda meagre (and not so much with the hip-hop as the name would suggest), and only a bit more vinyl, Scratch is nonetheless a nexus of Vancouver happenings. Who's new? Who's playing? They know, and sell tickets. + S'il Vous Plait $*$«£ Robson & Richards The name is French, the decor is 50's, the waiter is British, the owners are Chinese, and the food is like your mom's. Where else can you get a $6 lunch that consists of homemade macaroni and cheese with a side of corn bread? Best restaurant in town. + Sophie's Cosmic Cafe w*ifC 4th & Arbutus What better way to end a day of shopping at the Comic Shop, Zulu and the Candy Aisle? Good food, ok prices, huge portions. It's hip- ness is second only to the Eatery. 1 Sugar Refinery, The *g*$£ <fe*^) Granville & Helmcken The Sugar Refinery seems to be in disrepair, but has the weirdest, most awesome shows all the time, and is generally a fun place to eat yummy food and see things you couldn't see anyhwere else. + Tim Horton's %y i^S, Pender & Granville; Broadway & Willow Most washed-up hockey players start car dealerships; one saint of a man started a donut franchise, and the Canadian consciousness was forever changed. A tad of a hike from UBC, but a pilgrimage that any self-respecting undergrad ought to make. + Tinseltown <x Pender & Cambie Huge, enormous, gigantic screens—and often very few people. The whole concept of this place is baffling: dirt cheap matinees, first run movies, rarely crowded. Has the world gone mad? Hood: West End Downtown, West of Burrard—Like Kits, but open later and costs more. + Toys 'R' Us f_\ Broadway & Alder Sure, go here to buy toys. Why not? Lego is cool no matter how old you are. But it's also the best place to make out off-campus. Just don't let the kids see you, for the love of Pete. + True Value Vintage Li Robson & Granville Paying $100 for something previously owned takes some getting used to. There's a lot of genuinely good clothes to be found, but also a lot of overpriced ironic bullshit. Do shop with a friend. + Vancouver Art Gallery I Screw DVDs—the best movies are still on VHS. At least that's what the Videomatica clerks will have you know. Feel honoured if they deign to talk to you, for they know so much about film as to make them gods among men. Mfe Georgia & Hornby For when you want to impress upon that special someone that you are interested in more than comics and candy. If you can, try to crash a fancy art show opening and score yourself some free wine and grub. + Vancouver Flea Market a Terminal & Thornton Pretty far from Vancouver's most charming neighbourhood award, though the selection of cool and charming knickknacks will boggle your mind—you might even find your stolen bike. Bring $20 and a friend with a car. + Videomatica 4th & Cypress 1& + Vineyard, the #H*3) 4th & Vine Open late, breakfast all day, licensed until 2am. Are very accepting people, as their restaurant has the most bizarre cross-section of society you will ever see at any given time. Unless you barf, then they kick you out. + Zulu Records a 4th & Maple You, like every other undergrad in the world, enjoy indie music. To get the raw goods go to Zulu. They also have a good selection of vinyl, new and used. For people who need to buy their musical taste from a store, you might as well get it from this one. They also have tickets to most of this city's coolest concerts. 4l AMS Conference & Facility Services Presents: O O Back to School Show: September 2—5, 2003 Welcome back to school! Setting up house?

Your constituency is the first club you join (your student fees make sure of that), so to take advantage.

Considering you're already paying for this stuff, it'd be pretty silly of you not to partake. Honestly— who gives up free candy and friends? + Arts Undergraduate Society student services i President: Chris Payne s Office: BUCH DUO [ Phone: 822-4403 i Email: aus@arts.ubc.ca The Arts Undergraduate Society"is run by a students just like you. Elected in the fall and spring, councillors advocate on behalf of Arts students to the Facutly of Arts, to the university and to the AMS. But if politics ain't your bag, there's still plenty for you to do. You can join a departmental club or play sports on an intramural team (if 80% of your team is enrolled in Arts you can get a discount!). Or, if you're into writing or publishing, think about contributing to the best newspaper on campus: the Underground (page 108). Or just hang-out. The AUS office is the grand central station of the AUS. Only a year old, the Meekison Arts Students' Space is where we coordinate all of our (lockers, water, free microwave and—coming soon—a TV!). The AUS runs a number of events throughout the year, including our annual Beyond the BA and Beyond Second Year forums, weekly beer gardens in our kick ass lounge, the occasional barbeque on our patio, and just good times all round. In the third week of January we celebrate Arts Week with guest speakers, workshops and our second biggest party, Mardi Gras. We also run the largest student run event in Canada, Arts County Fair. For thirteen straight years this event, run entirely by AUS volunteers, has raised over $100 000 for charity. And by the way, it's a party with five big rock bands and over 15 000 patrons. From academics to student politics to rock concerts-we do it all.

But when we asked the UBC Reports, they responded: "We have nothing to do with Inside UBC our paper is UBC Reports." Their response approximated an English sentence enough for us to reply and clarify our request—perhaps the Reports editors thought that we, the editors of the Inside, were foolishly confused into thinking that the UBC Reports was the Inside UBC.

Out of the park! Textbook play! UBC has a huge athletics program — one of the biggest in the CIAU (Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union). Our athletes compete in 18 sports, have won over 50 national titles, and play amongst the world's elite in American collegiate leagues (baseball, golf and cross-country) and in the Olympics and Commonwealth games. So watch a game and support your T-Birds! —write-up by Marc Weber, UBC Athletics + Looking Back The 2002/03 varsity season was filled with highs for athletes and fans alike as Thunderbird teams extended UBC's tradition of excellence across the nation and beyond. A football squad in transition struggled through the first half of its campaign, but with former Edmonton Eskimo great Lou DesLauriers in his inaugural go-around on the sidelines and one of the countries best defences leading the charge, UBC rattled off three straight wins to close out the season, signaling a promising future on the gridiron and setting the tone for a football team of another kind to reach unfamiliar heights in the coming weeks. The UBC women's soccer team captured the country's attention with a sparkling 12-1-1 regular season but needed to survive a series of remarkably close games en route to the third Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) title in team history and 52nd in school history. The T-Birds claimed the national trophy with a 2-1 victory over the host Alberta Pandas on a snow swept turf in Edmonton, when Roslyn Hicks punched home a loose ball in the box just two minutes into the first extra period. It was the program's first national title since 1994. Second semester brought the focus back indoors to the hardcourt of War Memorial Gym. The women's volleyball team continued its impressive string of national championship tournament appearances with a ninth consecutive trip, but it was the UBC basketball teams that dominated the headlines through the winter months. While the women's hoop squad soared out to the second best start in team history only to fade down the stretch, the T-Bird men peaked at the right time, rolling through the final weeks of the season and finishing first in the Pacific Division. One of the largest crowds in more than half a century of War Gym's existence was on hand to witness UBC's thrilling last second victory over the Trinity Western Spartans in the third and deciding game of the division championship, 110 www.go TBirds.ca pp/ Mrisj and the fans returned the following weekend for the Canada West Final Four, cheering on the home team to a conference championship and its first berth in the Final Eight national tournament since 1996. At the same time the men's hoop 'Birds were scorching the War Gym mesh, UBC swimming phenom Brian Johns was tearing up the water at the CIS nationals in Victoria. The Richmond, BC native set a world record in the 400-metre individual medley (4:02.72), solidifying his place among the international elite and highlighting another tremendous championship performance by UBC. The T-Bird men's and women's teams claimed their sixth consecutive dual national titles, an unprecedented mark in the CIS. As UBC students were cramming for final exams, the 'Birds of Summer were making history at ballparks across the Pacific Northwest. Building on the success of 2002 and the drafting of pitcher Jeff Francis ninth overall by the Colorado Rockies, the baseball 'Birds enjoyed their best season ever, winning the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Region 1 title and falling just short of their first College World Series appearance. The Major League Baseball (MLB) draft in June drew two more local hurlers into the professional ranks as Brooks McNiven and Cory Stuart were selected by the San Francisco Giants and New York Yankees in the fourth and fifth rounds, respectively. Outfielder Mark Zamojc was scooped up by the Minnesota Twins in the later rounds, making it six UBC draft picks in just four years of the program's existence. The MLB draft also capped a tremendous list of individual accomplishments during the 2002/03 season. No less than six football 'Birds made an appearance at a Canadian Football League (CFL) training camp and, at season's opening, four remained on 1 their team's roster, including linebacker Javier Glatt, long snapper Bill Chaimberlain and defensive back Art Tolhurst with BC, and fullback Julian Radlein and safety Sandy Beveridge with Hamilton. Twenty seven UBC athletes made it to af Canadian or all-American status in 2002/03 and 34 qualified as Royal Bank Academic All-Canadians by achieving 80-plus percent in their stud- ■ ies. Major awards were as common- | place as ATM lineups in the Student Union Building with three T-Birds - basketball's Kyle Russell, soccer's Aaron Richer and Brian Johns from swimming —receiving CIS athlete of the year awards in their respective sport. Another trio—hoopster Kelsey Blair, soccer's Hannah Shoichet and swimming's www.goTBirds.ca \ii WM Caitlin Meredith—were honoured as their sport's rookie of the year, and field hockey's Stephanie Jameson and soccer's Sarah Regan earned national tournament MVP status. All told, more than 30 UBC student-athletes represented their school and their country in international competitions across the globe last year. Among them, Heather Smith of the national U-19 women's soccer team that captured the imagination of tens of thousands of Canadians, skiers Alexandra McLean and Trevor Bruce, and ice hockey's Nick Marach and Dave Penner, who participated at the World University Games in Tarvisio, Italy, and rowing's Kyle Hamilton and Ben Rutledge, who claimed gold for Canada at both Britain's famed Henley Royal and the world championships. That's not to mention the numerous exotic locations visited by UBC's world-class swimmers and field hockey players that included the Commonwealth Games in Manchester. + Looking Forward The upcoming varsity season is filled with intrigue both on campus and on the international scene. At press time, three UBC head coaches and at least 10 Thunderbird athletes were bound for Daegu, Korea, for the 2003 Summer Universiade, or World University Games as it's more commonly known. Others were heading to Barcelona, Spain, for the FINA World Aquatic Championships, while a handful were off to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, for the Pan American Games. The summer of 2004 will bookend a busy varsity calendar as the Athens Olympic Games elevates a number of UBC athletes to the world stage, including Brian Johns, one of Canada's best gold medal hopes in the pool. In between global competition, the Blue and Gold will be in action on fields, courts and ice around campus. The football team will be young and raw but full of playoff promise as the second-year coaching staff now has a recruiting class under their collective belt. Look for a rejuvenated UBC offence with key additions at receiver and on the line, while the defence will have to search for an identity with the graduation of several impact players, including three to the CFL. Home opener on September 5 and the annual Shrum Bowl tilt against SFU on October 3 highlight the local schedule. This year's Shrum will be played at Swangard Stadium with promoters expecting upwards of 6,000 fans. On the soccer pitch, the UBC women won't be as deep as the squad that won the national title in 2002, but their starting 11 should be as talented, putting them in a position to repeat as champions. The ^112] www.goTBirds.ca men's side returns largely intact and, led by CIS player of the year Aaron Richer, will challenge for the conference title and a berth in the national tournament, while the women's field hockey team, anxious to reclaim its gold-medal ways after falling to UVic in the national final last season, rounds out a trio of legitimate championship contenders in first semester alone. October brings volleyball, ice hockey and basketball to the forefront, and plenty of great storylines along with them: How quickly can first-year head coach Richard Schick turn the underachieving men's volleyball team into a contender? Can the women's volleyball 'Birds make it 10 straight trips to the national tournament even with the graduation of five key seniors? Will the addition of former Canucks prospect Kevin Swanson between the pipes be enough to propel the men's ice hockey 'Birds into the post season? Can the women's basketball squad turn the playoff corner with arguably the best recruiting class in program history? And, what's life after Kyle Russell like for men's hoop squad? The answer to these questions and more can be found at War Memorial Gym and the Thunderbird Winter Sports Centre on any given Friday or Saturday night through to March. Not-to-be-missed events include the annual sold-out ice hockey clash with the Canucks Prospects (date to be announced), volleyball against growing rivals Manitoba on January 16-17, and basketball weekends against local combatants UVic (Nov. 7-8), Trinity Western (Jan 9-10) and SFU (Nov. 22 and Jan. 23). Also, look for NCAA Sweet Sixteen squad Creighton to make an appearance at War Gym sometime in October. The UBC swim program will go for a record-setting seventh consecutive women's and men's dual championship sometime in February, but this one will no doubt prove the most challenging as Brian Johns and Brent Hayden will miss the varsity season in preparation for the Olympics. In May, the tee 'Birds hit the links with championship hopes. The women placed third at the NAIA nationals in 2003 with four freshman and are hoping the extra year of experience will push them to the top of the leader board, while a new-look men's team is ready to contend. The baseball 'Birds soared to the top of Region 1 in just their fourth season, and the upcoming campaign should be just another step in their quest for an NAIA World Series. This year, the Region 1 winner earns the right to host both the regional and super-regional playoffs so plan to frequent Nat Bailey Stadium come April.

In the past year, Panhellenic (sorority) members contributed over 8000 hours of philanthropic service to the community and collectively raised over $150,000 for various charities, such as Kids Help Phone, Ronald McDonald House, Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, Heart and Stroke Foundation, Service for Sight, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and "Crescent Camping." Sororities also constitute the largest women's group on campus, and provide women with the opportunity to create life-long bonds of friendship through sisterhood, while participating in social, academic, sports and philanthropic activities. Among the wide range of opportunities available to sorority members, there are weekly exchanges with the fraternities, Greek Week festivities, formals, philanthropy events, intramurals, as well as annual road trips to the U.S. chapters. This year, the sororities will be building a new permanent home on campus, which will be part of the new Greek village with the fraternities. The new houses will be up by September 2004. The Greek community participates in intramural sports more than any group on campus. Members participate in women's leagues, Co-Rec leagues and in various events such as Storm the Wall, Invade the Dome, and Globefest. Greek members also participate in various varsity and junior varsity sports. The Greek community's commitment to academic excellence results in a higher average GRA compared to non-affiliated students—and higher graduation rates. Members can count on assistance from other members, network with others who have taken the same classes, and participate in various effective study groups. The Panhellenic Council offers annual scholarships to incoming members; individual sorority headquarters also offer various entrance and performance scholarships to their members. 116 /clubs/paritielmh The Greek Community is dedicated to leadership on campus and within the community. Leadership positions within the Greek Community provide valuable experience for positions on campus-wide organizations, such as the AMS, on which many members have held positions. Sororities provide students with a well-rounded university experience while making the time they spend here as enjoyable as possible. If you have any questions, please come visit us at our recruitment booths in early September or visit our website at www.ams.ubc.ca/clubs/greek. See what being part of this great community can offer you. + Fraternities Since 1926, the Greek community at UBC has remained as the leaders of campus, academic, athletic, social, and philanthropic life. The fraternities of UBC offer an amazing opportunity to become involved in all facets of university life outside the classroom such as leadership activity, intramural sports and community service. Most importantly, the fraternities at UBC provide an excellent opportunity for making life-long friends and contacts within the Greek system in a campus population over 40,000 students. With 10 fraternities on campus and the completion of the Greek Village, the UBC Greek System is growing every year. We invite you to learn more about Greek life at UBC by visiting us outside at the Rush tables outside the SUB throughout September. Students are also welcome to visit any fraternity house, or can contact Andrew Ning at 505-8084 for more information.

Anyway, you're almost at the end now flust one more page to go!), and I thought it would be a nice thing to give you some playtime with this 2.187"x7.125"box. So, 1. Grab a crayon and colour-in the super student! 3. Make an origami pirate ship. 4. Roll a fat "alternative cigarette." As you can see, the possibilities are nearly endless! So farewell, dear reader, and happy travels through the groves of academe. But first... 223 r We're so very, very + Thank You! Lisa Luscombe for taking us seriously when no one else would. Trevor Gilks and Paul Carr in the PR department for helping us with pictures and for, once again, being responsible for the funniest thing in this book (page 121)—our apologies to Lianne Mclean for being the token female model of ambiguous ethnicity. Sue Brown and Lisa Lafriennere for writting a genuinely useful Safety section. Josh Bowman for regulatin' on some wack clubs and resource groups. Nancy Toogood for being a classy dame who helped with the AMS restauraunts and businesses. Eran Norton for helping us with Events. Ray Hignell who, a year later, is still Obi-Wan to our Anakin. The entire AMS Exec for their support. Hong Lok-Li for his poetry. Everyone in the AMS Services for putting up with us. Kris Wirk for giving us the Behind the Scenes at Commerce life. Alvin Wai for doing the same with Engineering, but being so funny and honest that we couldn't print any of it. Laura Blue and Ginnie Mathers for telling us what it's like to live neither at home nor on campus. The Point photographers Rose Atkins, Ashley Carwithen, Melody Chan, S.Myles Constable, Deanna Del Vecchio, Rose Gardner, Vanessa Lee, Michelle Mayne, and Jeremy Moses—their pictures are in the Intramurals and Varsity Sports sections.
