Boy, do I ever look like a loser. As usual, Fm writing this editorial last, and I forgot that I needed a photo. Luckily, I had this dorky-look- ing one handy. Sorry 'bout that, but I figure that if I spend four months working on a book, the least I deserve is a photo in it. I've tried to do two major things: make the daytimer functional and make the handbook useful. Fm not trying to provide a complete guide to the campus, in fact, I guarantee that Fve left things out and probably made a mistake or three. Fm also not trying to make this a gripping, spine-tingling novel - how interesting can you make personal finances and study skills? A friend commented that this book had a "nostalgic" feel to it, and after recovering from the shock (I was hop- ing for "monumental," or "stupendous"), I realized that nostalgic describes this book pretty well. After all, Fve been here for four years, and Fve been involved in one way or another since the very first day. I showed up four years ago, all bright, happy, and keen. A SuperNerd™, if you will. Now, Fm grouchier and tar less patient. Fve had the Super savagely beaten out of me, but Fm still a Nerd™. But there's a silver lining in any cloud. Fve also gained experience in things I never thought possible: editing, design, communication skills, and all sorts of other things I value just as much as 111 value my degree. That experience has enabled me to correct the majority of the mistakes Fve made along the way. There's no doubt that knowledge is power. This book isn't a recruiting tool for the ams, although personally, I think getting involved is a great idea. This book isn't a gigantic Far Side cartoon either, although if you laugh from time to time, I'll be pleased. This book is, however, a short-cut to gaining the experience you need to survive. Consider this a source of advice, opinions, and general info that you can refer to from time to time. Also, use the daytimer, please -1 know it's the only reason (other than the coupons) that a majority of you picked it up. Anyways, Fm running out of room. Fve done my best to ensure you'll like this book, but if you hate it, don't come looking for me. I'm going into hiding for the rest of the year.

The Alma Mater Society will promote high-quality student learning. It will advocate student interests, as well as those of the University of British Columbia and post-secondary education as a whole.The Society will provide its members with diverse opportunities to become exceptional leaders. It will be flexible to accommodate the changing world. The AMS's priorities will be determined by its members.The Society will foster communication, both internally and externally, in order to be democratic, fair, accountable to, and accessible to its members. It will provide services students want and can use. It will cultivate unity and goodwill among its members, but will also encourage free and open debate, as well as respect for differing views. It will solve problems constructively. The AMS will be among the best student associations in the world. These are the Daves we know, we know... When I first arrived at ubc two years ago the ams was just an acronym to me. I knew that somewhere on the second floor of the sub the student government did something. When that student government shut down the Ubyssey and threw a Spirit of the West concert to buy the votes of students, I knew it was time to get involved. The first concern of the ams should be the students it represents. Four months later I was elected Co-ordinator of External Affairs and given the opportunity to develop ubc's share of a lobby resulting in the two year freeze on tuition that kicks in this year. I feel the society is on its way to changing from a "student government" to a "student union," a shift from bureaucracy towards the people it represents. The goal of the ams is to constantly strive to improve all aspects of ubc student life. What does this mean? It means that we advocate on behalf of students on a political level by using our numbers and resources to maintain the quality and accessibility of post-secondary education. It means that we provide the services and facilities which students have decided are important to them. It means that we provide the infrastructure for over 180 clubs to operate out of sub. It also means that we run a couple of pubs and throw the occasional beer garden. The best thing about the Society is that it represents the cumulative effort of decades of student creativity and work. The construction of sub and the fifty year long lease we have on it is the result of negotiations by students in the mid 1960s. The Whistler Cabin is the legacy of the vision of members of the Varsity Outdoors Club. There is something very unusual about an $8.3 million organization dedicated to and built by twenty year olds. Being involved in it is an opportunity that you should not pass up. I'm not going to tell you that you should sacrifice your academic pursuits to create monuments for future students - after all 63% isn't going to get you into grad school or law. But I will tell you that some sacrifice is definitely worth it. Being involved in non-academic pursuits at ubc will make your time here more rewarding. J considered writing a wildly humourous article, but having seen Blair's attempt to do that in this daytimer, 1 decided to write a more serious piece. 1 hope you will make the trip to SUB 252 or phone me at 822^3972 to ask a question or pass on a concern. <ed. Actually, this is about as funny as Dave ever gets. Readers have been spared a great deal of pain. > mm ^- D 5 > 1 z m m David Borins AMS President ...these are the Daves we know. Welcome to the 1996-97 academic year at ubc. As President of the University, I am pleased to extend greetings to new and returning students. Well-known author, broadcaster and ubc graduate Pierre Berton has said of his student days, "They were the best times of our lives - and the great thing was, we knew it." The context was that he was encouraging students to make the most of their time on campus, to explore and challenge themselves, to realize what tremendous opportunities university presents - and to make sure they appreciated the joys of this unique phase of their lives. A Commerce student may become an accountant, or he may become a news reporter because he joined CiTR, the student radio station. An art history major may go on to teach, or she may open a successful recreational adventures company after participating in the Varsity Outdoors Club. A law student may practice law, or end up directing a non-profit agency helping people with mental challenges participate in sports, all because of the enjoyment and satisfaction that came from playing on a varsity athletic team. Your education and your horizons are limited only by your imagination. My own career provides an example: a ph.d in Physics from u of t, and faculty positions at u of Colorado, mit, and u of t led me to nasa where I served as Chief of the Geophysics Branch - in charge of geophysical experiments on the moon and aspects of the science of moon rocks. Believe me, nothing in my 1950s undergraduate career prepared me for experiments on the moon (or being president of a major university) - or so I thought. But the reality is, a solid foundation of learning skills, combined with a thirst for knowledge and a desire to achieve, is the best preparation for any career. Your 1990s ubc education will form the basis for a wide range of 21st century careers. For some of you, this will be your last year on campus, as you complete your ubc studies and move on to the next phase of your lives. We have this in common, as my second and final six- year term as President will end next summer. Go on; challenge yourself. When your time comes to move on from ubc, you may be amazed at what you've accomplished, and the challenges you look forward to. Best of luck in your new year of academic studies and extra-curricular activities. b The people behind the posters. Have you ever wondered about the people behind the posters? I'm talking about the ams Executive - the five people you elected last January to guide the student union through its challenges, the people who are your primary representation to the rest of the world. Who are they? Why don't we take a quick guided tour of the student union executive offices on a typical day? You approach the massive oak doors of the executive offices. Only 5 one is propped open - the fire marshal keeps coming around and R stealing the wooden triangles. You cautiously peer in, and see a ^ foyer decorated in late 70s decor: brown couches, brick walls, and lots of huge black and white historical photographs. Looks safe ^ enough. « That's the Fishbowl to your left, where Val and Paramjit keep the JJ paperwork and records of the Society running smoothly. The hall to flf the left leads to the offices of some of our professional staff - our 1 department managers. But our objective is straight ahead. You pass the office for the Student Adminstration Commission and the University Commission on your left and right, and the door to the Vice- President's office is right in your face. Lica Chui lives there - but she's balancing med school, a senate position and a whole host of other things. We'll contact her via e-mail if we want to ask her any questions about academics, campus safety or anything else "on-cam- pus." She's an old hack: lots of experience in politics dating back to First Year Rep for the Science Undergrad Society way back when. Lica will be entering her second year of Medicine this fall. It will be her 6th year at the university and also her 6th year of involvement with student politics. In addition to having many extracurricular interests, Lica also excels in the classroom. She's ubc's 1996 Sherwood Lett Scholar, the university's premier undergraduate award and designation for students demonstrating academic excellence, leadership, and community involvement. As both Vice-President and student representative to the Senate from the Faculty of Medicine, Lica maintains an awareness of current academic issues and develop- In this article ments on campus; coordinates the management of all Vice-President ams student services; creates and organizes projects Coordinator of External designed to respond to issues facing the University Affairs community; as well as performs other tasks as Student Director of Council determines advisable. Administration The executive offices are shaped like an Arnold President Director of Finance JJ Fast Trax Makes the Grade Using Fast Trax on BC Transit's buses, SkyTrain and Sea Bus makes travel to and from UBC fast, easy and affordable. Best of all there's no parking to consider. Many campus bound routes are also wheelchair lift-equipped. And each time you use public transit, you are helping to preserve our environment. Fast Trax - The Smart Choice The Fast Trax strip is available to full- time students attending (qualified) post- secondary institutions in the Lower Mainland. Simply pick up the Fast Trax strip at your student union office and attach it to your student ID card. You may be charged a small fee by your university or college for the Fast Trax strip. When combined with your One Zone monthly FareCard, the Fast Trax strip allows you to travel all day, any day throughout BC Transit's system (one, two or three zones) for the price of One Zone fare travel. Remember to always carry your One Zone monthly FareCard and your student ID card, with attached Fast Trax strip.

That's Allison Dunnet sitting at the desk (spelt with two k and one t, not the other way around). Allison is entering her fourth year of a political science degree. A college transfer student, she spent her first year at Capilano College in North Vancouver. Allison had her first taste of the ams with the Referendum Working Group last winter. As Coordinator of External Affairs, she sits on Student Council, the Executive Committee and chairs the External Commission. She is also the ams representative on the ubc Transit Committee. Since taking office in mid-February, she has promoted the Langara Students Union campaign Earth to Ottawa, organized the ams Elections 101 campaign, hosted the Minister of Skills, Training and Labour in a speaking engagement, and recently organized the Seventh Annual Student Union Development Symposium, entitled Strengthening the Union. You might wonder why she's a "coordinator" instead of a "director." You see, when the constitution was written, the sitting president was feuding with the external person, and took vengence by placing him on a supposedly "lower" rung. But in actuality, all four of the exec (excluding the President) are equals, despite different titles. Next, we have Jennie Chen's office. She's the Director of Administration, responsible for just about everything in the Student Union Building. Jennie got involved in a strange way, simply by being the person sitting next to the current Director of Finance in class. Ryan needed a running mate - and Jennie was interested. Jennie once said she brought "no agendas, no bias, no qualifications and no experience" to the job. But she's doing a great job despite (or due to) that, and besides, she always has a full candy jar in her office. Jennie is currently in her third year of Arts, working on a double major of International Relations and Asian Studies. As Director of Administration, she oversees the coordination of the 200 ams clubs and chairs the Student Administrative Commission (sac) which directly interacts with clubs. In addition to allocating office and locker space in the sub, Jennie also oversees sub maintenance and sub security and the overall condition of the building. 11 President David Borins office: SlA 256 ph: 82||3972 email: president#ams Vice-Preffdent Lid Chui office: SUB 248 ph:822l092 email: vicepres#ams Coordinator of Eternal Affairs Al I isoit Dunnet office: JJUB?50 ph:8Br2050 email: externals ms Director of Administration Jeppj%$ften ^6fficfeS0&a'54 *fpb;;822-3961 emaifeadmini@ams Director of F)na nee :,^BSi3|pfil^vies offimjmB258 kjl||822-3973 Ik email:finance@ams E-MAfltfADDRES&ES <nan^^^^s.ubcca <name^>i§>uhfxg. ubeca have been abbreviated through||IlS^ book to save space.

His name is David Borins, and he functions as the Chief Executive Officer of the Alma Mater Society. The head honcho, the big cheese. You get the idea. His door's closed right now, so he must be in a meeting somewhere. Originally from Toronto, David has just finished his ba in Political Science. His student political career began in 1993 when the ams shut down the student newspaper, The Ubyssey. Then an opponent of the ams, David helped to keep the issue of free speech alive on campus with guerilla open mic sessions and helped out with the successful Ubyssey referendum. In 1995, he was elected to the ams Executive as the Coordinator of External Affairs, and to President in the most recent elections. If you could rank the executive's power by their office location, you'd correctly guess that the President has the largest office. But Ryan Davies, the Director of Finance, is the only one with a door onto the balcony. Ryan is a student in Chemical Engineering, entering his fifth year of study at ubc In addition, Ryan oversees the information and record management systems (read computers). He's the guy who keeps the books in some semblance of order, prepares the budget and otherwise makes sure we have cash in the till. Last year, he was the Director of Volunteer Services, one of the ten services the ams provides. All of the Executive are working to help you; their doors are always open, and they welcome your comments, advice, or criticism of what they're doing. Why not drop by sometime? L-R, clockwise: Allison Dunnet, David Borins, Ryan Davies, Ji Chen, Lica Chui Where does your $39.50 go, anyways? 13 Each year we pay thousands of dollars to attend ubc, but do you know where that money goes? At least you know where your $39.50 Alma Mater Society Fee goes. It is spread across various programs that make life a little easier as well as more interesting for the students at ubc We can only chnage fees by referendum, and last year we voted to reallocate one part of the fee to some new items. These are the only fees the ams collects, and here's the overall breakdown: $15.00 is for the Capital Project Acquisition Committee (cpac), which goes towards large projects like renovating the sub to create more space for clubs. $12.50 covers the operating expenses of the ams and provides student services such as Joblink and Safewalk, funds ams Programs, club grants, accounting costs and it also covers the cost of student government. $6.00 goes to Intramurals so everyone can get together and have some fun because school isn't just about academics. Day of the Longboat and Storm the Wall are only a few of the activities that you can be involved in. $3.50 is allocated to External and University Lobbying, which assists in lobbying for important student issues such as post-secondary education funding and safety initatives on campus. $1.50 provides funding for the ams Student Resource Groups (Global Development Centre, Women's Centre, Student Environment Centre, Gays, Lesbians and Bisexuals of ubc, and Colour Connected Against Racism). $1.00 goes toward World University Services Canada (wusc). This money enables the ams to sponsor 2 refugee students so that they get the chance to attend ubc IP 5 > z z m m That's where your $39.50 go Also during Refendum '96, we voted that beginning this year, an additional $3.00 per year for three years will be paid to fund the Evelyn Lett Childcare Bursary. This will help to make education more accessible for ubc students with children. Sandra Matsuyama is the Fundraising Commissioner on the Finance Commission and works with Volunteer Services. $12.50 14 Voting and referenda. Throughout the school year, you'll see lots of posters for people running for various positions. Many of you will only glance at them and continue along your merry way - but a few will stop, read, and eventually cast a ballot (or three). You can split elections at ubc into three major times. First, elections held in late September or early October are generally for constituency councils: department reps and the like. You only vote for your faculty, so Science students... stop voting in the Arts elections! Next, the big election in January is where you elect the campus-wide student executive, and representatives to other University governing bodies. More about the Board of Governors and Senate later. Finally, a third wave of election fever hits the campus in late March or early April, when you elect (in your faculties again) the executive for your particular constituency. So, you can expect to see people campaigning pretty much throughout the eight months you attend classes each year. Another major area of democratic process is referenda. These are generally held concurrent with other elections, depending on who is asking the question. Referenda are the best way in which the var- The Delly has a wide variety of Deli Sandwiches made fresh daily The most famous is the Fresh Chicken^P&t Sandwich _tf,,^-.,g The Delly c^^arries many Hot .Snael^^ns-'^pMiig Meat cmA^ ,fi^^c±)leMmos8^$rid an apmlal^ selection oTVegetariaM FoA for ve^^love^^ ^^^^^^^y^fifiehdify drj^you can expect qourteoflS'^rspd^ The DeM^located on the SUB Lower Floor between the Pub and the Bank of Montreal Hours are Monday to Friday from 7am to 6:30pm 16 BQ&mwK&&t m*.

For Alma Mater Society (campus-wide) referenda, a question must be put to the student body upon the presentation to Student Council of a petition with iooo signatures, or on a 2/3 majority vote of Council. If the referenda reaches quorum (ie 10% of the student population voting yes), then the results are binding. In the past, referenda have been used to make critical decisions that affects us even today. For example, students voted in 1963 to pay $29 more per year to finance the construction of the Student Union Building, and again in 1971/72 to expand the Pit Pub. Also, in 1972, a fee increase of $5 was approved to pay for the construction of the Aquatic Centre. 9 1982 saw another fee increase to finish parts of the Student Union ; Pj Building. More recently, students voted to pay $30 per year to fund p the new Student Recreation Centre. X3 Student enjoying these facilities today (as well as the other cam- £> pus facilities constructed with student money can thank the dedica- gj tion previous students had to ubc in the funding of these "legacy" jp projects. Undoubtedly, current students will contribute to the Iff enjoyment of future generations of ubc students JP The Ubyssey figures prominently in referenda questions: failed independence drives in 1982 and 1990, and a successful vote in the referenda of January 1995. Voter turnout is what determines the effectiveness of the referenda system. Previous to the early 1980s, very few referenda failed to reach quorum, giving students the chance to set binding "legislation" on the policies of the ams. Since then, no fewer than 21 separate questions failed to get quorum. However, this trend seems to finally be reversing itself. In the Ubyssey referendum of 1995, over 5300 people cast a ballot. In the most recent referenda, nearly 7800 students voted, setting a new record for the highest turnout ever. Finally, referenda have been used to test the opinion of students on issues of social relevance. Although the ams has no hope in hell of influencing us foreign policy, the majority of students opposed the Vietnam war in 1968. A majority of students voting in 1972 supported abortion. Although these results have little effect on student government policies, it is an important part of the democratic process. Undoubtedly, there will be a referendum held this January. Possible questions might deal with ownership issues in the Student Union Building, or a fee increase to maintain and expand programs and services. Regardless of your opinion, it's important that students educate themselves on the issue and vote accordingly. You'll find referendum information (whatever the question) in the Ubyssey, posters, open mic sessions, and class speakers. Take the time to get informed, and take the time to vote! ns Ail abridged history of your studenfllfliety >•••••»•< The ams can trace its1 origins back before the creation of ubc, to a time when there wereno universities in British Columbia, just a college affiliated with Montreal's McGill University. That college—theJ^lcGili University College of British Columbia—was founded in 1906, and it had a student society called the Alma Mater Society. Both the College and the student society ceased to exist in 1915, replaced by ubc and.a new Alma Mater Societ^i^BC inherited many of its professors from the old College, and similarly the jftMP» ubc was madeM> in part of studentsfcom the bHjfiollege. Three of those students sat'down with one of ^nfiKt^fbge prdfe^ftl sors over the summer of 1915 to draft a cons^^^^^p^^^e^J ams. The thrlif students included ■Sherwo6diLett~ -who .becamel-the '-^ first ams president at ubc &rid later.5became 'C^jan^elior.^f:tneV%: University and Chief Justice of Briulk Columbia.

They also organized a march from downtown to the unbuilt campus, marching through the downtown core, then taking streetcars to ioth and Sasamat, then marching the rest of the way to the shell of the Science building, which they occupied. There is a famous picture of the students filling the half-completed building and another well- known picture of them forming the letters U-B-C. In front of the shell of the Science building, the students put up a stone monument, called the cairn, which is still there on the grassy meridian in front of Trekkers Restaurant. The Great Trek took place in late October of 1922. Soon after HJ that, the students presented their petition, and in November the k, government gave in to the pressure and agreed to donate $1.5 mil- ^ lion to build the campus, which eventually opened in 1925. — The Great Trek was notable, among other reasons, because virtually the whole student body turned out for it. Of course, the student body was smaller then. In ubc's first year, in 1915, there were only about 400 students. By 1922, enrollment had risen to about 1 200, » but that was still nothing like the 30 000 or so students we have today. Interestingly, in that first year tuition at ubc was free. It didn't remain free for long, though, and by 1922 ubc was charging $50 a year, the highest tuition fee for a public university in the country at the time. In addition to tuition fees, there were also ams fees: $2 per student in 1915. It should be noted that in addition to providing a wide range of services for students, ams fees have often been used to pay for the construction of buildings on campus, something not often done by student societies. As one of ubc's presidents, Norman MacKenzie, commented, "No university in the world I know owes as much to its students as the University of British Columbia." Over the years the ams has raised millions of dollars to build such campus fixtures as the sub Building, the Aquatic Centre, the War Memorial Gymnasium, the Thunderbird Winter Sports Centre, and Brock I Hall (Brock Hall was the old student union building, until 1968). Sometimes the ams raised money just to keep the university going. For instance, in what became known as the Second Great Trek, in 1956, the ams got the provincial government to agree to match all private donations made to the university and then won student support for an ams fee increase to be used to add to the private donations that the government would have to match. Then, in 1963, in the Third Trek, also called the Back Mac Campaign, the students marched in support of the request by ubc President John Macdonald for more government funding. In short, over the years the ams has worked to build the university z m / m 20 and keep it running—and not just by raising money but by doing such things as organizing the Student Leadership Conferences, which go back to 1955, and running the athletics program, which the ams was in charge of in ubc's early days. The ams also carried out humanitarian programs—for instance, providing support for refugees after the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, raising money for the destitute during the Depression, and launching a clothing drive for needy students in Europe after World War 11. Of course, not everything has been rosy in ams history. Especially in the last 30 years, with the growth of the student population, it has not always been easy to get the student body involved. In 1974 one ams President, in an attempt to get quorum, resorted to going to the sub cafeteria and announcing to the students eating lunch there that they were all attending the annual general meeting. A year later the ams hired a rock band to play at the general meeting, hoping that would bring out a quorum of students—but it didn't. The ams President at the time commented that "We are prisoners of our own constitution and our own apathy." The rock band idea was tried again in 1994, with similar results. Getting the students involved remains a problem—which makes the large turnout achieved in the 1996 referendum all the more impressive. But the past 30 years have also seen some more positive developments. For instance, the 1960s and 1970s saw students win new powers at ubc. In 1967 students won the right to elect representatives to the University Senate for the first time. Then in 1974, two students were elected to ubc's Board of Governors. The ams also won the right to name students to various University committees. Thus the ams through the years has demonstrated the ability both to launch major projects of its own and to win representation on the bodies determining University policy.

You figure out which will be the most effective. The last one, of course! Last year, the ams took the jump and hired me, Faye Samson, to be the first ams Communications Coordinator. I'm here to make your life easier by giving you tips on how to promote and advertise your event on campus for free, write a press release and how to get in touch with local media. We've recently seen the benefits of improved communications on campus with more communications boards, higher voter turnout at ams Election time and more and more students participating in their student union, the Alma Mater Society. Another step in the right direction is the Communications Working Group, which is open to all students interested in improving campus communications. This hardworking group of student volunteers post important campus wide information, maintain current communication channels, come up with new and exciting z L_J 22 ways to promote the ams to students, and manage the feedback email address. Feedback address? Yep, it's true. Comments, complaints, queries regarding ubc, the ams or the campus in general, can be sent to feedback@ams.ubc.ca You're guaranteed a response within ten days, provided that we're able to get those answers from the proper authorities (and we will). Questions and answers from feedback will be set up in a monthly display in the sub Concourse. But wait there's more. This year, ams Communications is also publishing a brand new, bimonthly magazine, maintaining and updating over 25 communications boards (both indoor and outdoor) on campus, answering numerous questions over the 'net, renovating the ams Home Page and, of course, promoting and advertising the annual ams Election in January. Next year, who knows? Our own satellite? ams Communications is constantly looking for ways to create opportunities for students to communicate with other students. So whether you're a club, a student resource group, a student service, or an undergraduate society, we want to assist you in getting your message out on campus. To achieve this, I suggest the following: OKAY, SO HOW DO YOU REALLY GET PEOPLE TO NOTICE YOU? i postering - Try the Campus Wide Events Board outside the sub Theatre, ams Program Banner Boxes and the ams/ubc Communications Boards scattered throughout campus. There are a lot of other vertical places to staple/tape/tack your message to, but be warned: the University is cracking down on "unauthorized postering." 2 print media - Your message can be placed in the ams Update in the Ubyssey or the new ams Magazine. You can also usually place your announcements with any of the campus media, such as the undergrad papers for free or for a nominal fee. 3 other media -ubc TV, whose monitors will soon be in a building near you, runs messages. You can also place psas (Public Service Announcements) at citr. 4 that superhighway thing - Comments and opinions can be posted to feedback@ams.ubc.ca and the ubc.general newsgroup. Also, many organizations like clubs and services have home pages. Check out the ams Home Page at www.ams.ubc.ca And what if the above still doesn't work? Try playing the bagpipes outside the sub. In the nude. That will definitely garner you some attention. You weirdo. If you'd like more information about ams Communications or if you're interested in gettting involved with the Communications Working Group, please contact me by dropping by sub 266H, calling 822-1961 or emailing comco@ams.ubc.ca Faye Samson (AMS Communications Coordinator) is currently attempting to provide graphics standards for the AMS that doesn't look like they were designed by a crazed monkey with a big black marker.

And so does ams structure - believe it or not, this is just the abbreviated version. Why should you care about any of this stuff? First of all, these commissions, working groups and committees are speaking on your behalf on all sorts of issues. If you don't know who to talk to, how can your opinion be expressed? Second, all of the positions involved in any of the above subgroups are filled by students. They aren't professional anythings yet, although the ams does employ staff members to manage parts of the building and provide much needed advice. All of the people making the decisions, debating the issues, and doing the legwork are students, just like you, who take classes and have student loans and rent payments and fail the occasional course or three. There's nothing stopping you from being one of the people listed in this diagram or in the following pages. Some positions require you to be elected: keep an eye on when your constituency elections are. Others are filled through a competitive interview process.

AMS external affairs falls under the purview of the Coordinator of External Affairs. He or she is responsible for dealing with a wide range of externally focused issues and activities, as well as for communicating with other students unions and the government. Subject to the approval of Council, the Coordinator may also lobby the Provincial and Federal Governments on issues of interest to students. These include, but are not limited to transit, student loans, post secondary education funding, daycare, equity, and government policies. The Coordinator of External Affairs is assisted by the External Commission in these activities. So far this year, External has brought the then Minister of Education, Paul Ramsey, to speak on campus, coordinated the Elections 101 provincial lobby campaign, co-sponsored the annual Democracy Walk in commemoration of the Tienanmen Square Massacre along with the Vancouver Society for Democratic Movement, and hosted the seventh annual Student Union Development Symposium. ELECTIONS IOI The Elections 101 campaign ran during the bc provincial election in May 1996, and was the first use of the ams' newly-created University and External Lobbying Fund. This fund was created by referendum in January 1996 as part of the reallocation of the Athletic Fee. Elections 101 was conceived as a result of the growing atmosphere of scarcity and restraint produced by government cutbacks. Prior to the lobby, the federal government had reduced its transfer payments to the bc government. Our concern was that this would prompt the provincial government to compensate for the shortfall by making cuts in post-secondary education funding. This would in turn cause tuition to rise. We felt that this was of fundamental importance to students: any increase in tuition affects us all, and we all have a direct stake in continued government funding. The lobby had four main goals. First, to raise public awareness of the importance of accessible post-secondary education in British Columia. Second, to assert the Alma Mater Society's presence as a lobbying force. Third, to encourage young people, as especially students, to vote in the provincial election. And fourth, to increase awareness among ubc students of the external issues affecting university education. In compliance with the bc Elections Act, Elections 101 was strictly non-partisan. The campaign was carried out by means of radio ads on c-fox and kiss fm, and print advertisements in the Vancouver Sun, the Province, and Courier. The ubc Election Forum, a joint organizational effort with the Graduate Students Society and Faculty Association, also formed part of the campaign. This forum involved candidates from all the official parties in bc STUDENT UNION DEVELOPMENT SYMPOSIUM This year's symposium ran from July 3-7, and was entitled "Strengthening the Union." It brought together a diverse group of student leaders from across Canada to discuss various topical issues. These included equity in representation, the ethics and impact of corporate sponsorship, the merits of professional-run and student- run businesses and services, lobbying, campus communications, and the strengths and weaknesses of student union alliances. Of special interest was the keynote speaker, Joan Grant-Cummings, the newly elected president of the National Action Committee on the Status of Women. UPCOMING EVENTS AND INITIATIVES This fall, External will be organizing Homecoming festivities and the Great Trekker Award. This award is given annually by the ams to an outstanding alumnus of ubc who has achieved eminence in his or her chosen field of activity, has made a worthy and special contribution to the community, has shown a keen and continued interest in his or her Alma Mater, and has rendered particular services to undergraduate and graduate students. Some of the past recipients include Judge Alfred Scow (1995), Rosemary Brown (1991) and Cecil H. and Ida Green (1984). If you have any questions, want more information, or want to get involved, please drop by Allison Dunnet's office (sub 250). Carolyn Granholm is the Vice-Chair of the External Commission, and has been instrumental in the success of the above events.

AMS POLICY ANALYST My responsibilities are: 1 To ensure that the philosophy of the society is internally consistent, primarily with respect to policy and position statements. 2 To perform research that is of a current event/political nature. 3 To sit as a non-voting member of the Student Senate Caucus, the External Commission and the University Commission. I work most closely with, and am directly responsible to the ams President and Executive in all matters related to the execution of my job. With proper approval and in the appropriate circumstances, I can also take on projects requested by other persons, members of the ams' student government or affiliates, so long as it doesn't interfere with projects of a higher priority. In the course of my job, I inevitably field many requests from persons at other student governments and the outside community without needing to consult with the Executive each time. Not only is this permissible and normal, but also highly desirable as it promotes good communications and information-exchange with the outside. HOW TO BE A POLICY ANALYST My central duty, generally expressed, is to receive, research and report back on policy or political issues as directed by the Executive. My duties may consist of simple and short tasks such as requests for information, informal feedback on Executive proposals, plans and concerns, and so forth. At the opposite end of the scale I may find myself overseeing the administration of large-scale projects such as statistical studies, the research, formulation and writing of policy papers, and projects of a similar scale. AN EXAMPLE OF A POSITION PAPER The following is an example of an ams Position Paper. I prepare such papers for student council as a background for policy. 27 Quality or Quantity: The Question of Productivity Demands on the University by the Provincial Government INTRODUCTION This document outlines the position of the Alma Mater Society (ams) with respect to the recent demand of the provincial government to increase productivity (students) at the university by 4%, without an increase in funding. As the official representative of over 30,000 students at the University of British Columbia, it is the mandate of the ams to represent the interests of students in matters pertaining to post-secondary education (pse). The ams believes that the recent 4% productivity increase decreed by the provincial government could have serious effects on the quality of education at ubc, and therefore feels that it must address this specific issue (and the general issue) of the provincial government making unilateral productivity demands upon the post secondary system in British Columbia. BACKGROUND During the 1996 provincial election, Premier Glen Clark made it perfectly clear that he (and the New Democratic Party) supported education. Among the many promises made in the area of social issues, the premier made the following promises to education: 1 guaranteed space for every qualified student. 2 18,600 new student spaces over the next 5 years. 3 tuition freeze for two years. 4 tuition increases for 98/99 and 99/00 capped at or below the inflation rate. 5 focus on eliminating barriers to participation which include child care, travel and housing costs. 6 a new Back-To-School Scholarship program. 7 maintain funding to institutions at 95/96 levels. Unfortunately, as with most political promises made during an election, they came with fine print. Of importance to this position paper was the caveat placed on pse administrations pertaining to the freeze in funding levels. Although the provincial grant levels would remain unchanged from 95/96, the premier mandated that the institutions do more with less, and increase productivity by 4%. Clearly, this demand would help the premier fulfill one of his other promises as well, namely the 18,600 new student spaces over the next 5 years. Yet his decision to mandate the 4% productivity increase was surely also influenced by a prominent report published in 1995 by the bc Labour Force Development Board entitled "Training for What?" by Marian Meagher and Stuart Noble. The report did not paint a very flattering image of pse institutions in bc. One of the central criticisms in the report was that universities and colleges are not productive entities in terms of providing opportunity and access to existing workers who will need to return to educa- D % V > Z z m m 28 tion throughout their time in the labour market. On the surface, it would seem that creating more spaces at pse institutions in bc would be a desirable goal. As a matter of course, student unions have been lobbying for increased spaces & access for many years. Considering the current population growth in bc, and the general desire of the public to ensure that people have access to the pse system, Premier Clark's productivity increase demand met with a certain degree of favorable support from the public. IMPACT ON UBC What will the effects be on the university? The provincial government did not provide any direction or vision for the productivity increase, in fact it is very likely that even if the government had done so, it would have been illegal. The minister cannot, according to the University Act, interfere with the governance of a university. With this in mind, it would appear that the impact on institutions would have a certain degree of unpredictability. In some institutions or programs, the administrations may mandate a 4% increase in full- time equivalent (fte) enrollments per section and just accept that the overall quality of education would diminish as the teacher to student ratio increases. Others may try to be innovative and attempt to service the new students with distinctive off-campus programs that utilize contracted instructors or other means to keep delivery costs to a minimum. In whatever manner the institutions choose to deal with the government's demands, it is clear that the quality of the education will be at risk. At ubc , and other large institutions, the productivity increase will likely distribute itself across the faculties in an uneven manner. Uneven, but not unpredictable. The cost of delivery per fte varies a great deal from program to program. It would appear reasonable for the Board of Governors to accept that the increases ought to occur in those areas where the least amount of financial impact would be predicted. Some faculties and programs will be unable to accept any increases at all unless they are also accompanied by infrastructure and equipment increases. Others are limited by health or safety concerns. After eliminating the educational areas that are unable to accept more students, what's left? Primarily arts. And that's ironic. It's ironic because the provincial government, over the last 4 years, has been urging institutions to offer more applied courses and trade skills. They have been very generous financially to technical schools and colleges in the creation of student spaces in such programs. The report "Training for What?" clearly stated as a policy recommendation: Ensuring greater relevance of publicly-funded education and training - by adjusting the mix between applied and academic programs, placing greater emphasis on employ ability skills and further strengthening vocational counseling efforts. The provincial government has all but affirmed this policy in its view of educational expansion. Whether or not the ams endorses this philosophy is a matter for a separate position paper. The issue is that the government evidently has not given this plan a whole lot of thought or attempted, through consultation with the university community, to determine if there is room to improve productivity at all. The government, by imposing the productivity increase unilaterally, forces the university to make decisions relating to enrollment and curriculum that ought to be made for sound academic reasons. RECOMMENDATIONS The ams supports the notion that an accessible education, open to all applicants who wish to improve themselves, is in the best interests of a democratic society. However, this ought not to be at the cost of quality. It is also in the best interests of a democratic society « to have a system that embraces high-quality student learning and ^ enables the student to enhance the physical, emotional, ethical and ^* intellectual aspects of her life. The University Act states that the __ minister responsible for post secondary education shall not interfere — with a university, its board, senate or other constituent bodies. Even ty though the Act does allow for the minister to control funding, the jj nature of this productivity demand and its impact on the academic |J# function of the university are certainly outside the intent of the Act. |H The ams ought to : Rl i Actively lobby the provincial government to study the effects and feasibility of productivity demands prior to enforcement. Such a study ought to include consultation with all effected campus constituencies. ii Seek solidarity with all effected campus constituencies and gain their support for the above lobby. in Consider and pass the following policy relating to productivity demands: AMS POLICY RATIFIED BY STUDENT COUNCIL JULY 3, 1996 Whereas the university's long-term plan endorses keeping the student population at current levels for the foreseeable future; and Whereas a government mandated productivity increase, forcing the university to enroll more students on a fixed grant, is similar to a cut in funding because the ratio of dollars to students declines; and Whereas financial cuts of this nature will place the quality of education at the University of British Columbia at risk; and Whereas the effects of a government mandated productivity increase are in contravention of the spirit of the University Act; and Whereas the university will be forced into making decisions pertaining to enrollment based upon financial instead of legitimate academic pressures; Therefore, be it resolved that: The AMS considers both high-quality student learning and access to be essential qualities of any public educational institution; the AMS is opposed to sacrificing one for the other. A wise person once said that the minute you had more than three people in a room, you needed some system of government. What if you've got over 30,000? Student organization at ubc is a twisted network of interactions. You've got your committees and boards. Then you've got councils and working groups. Add to that commissioners, directors and officers. Don't forget the associations, constituencies, and clubs! Where in the heck do you fit in? Let's use an analogy. You're a ubc student, true, but you're also a student in a particular faculty. Therefore, you have dual membership - first in the Alma Mater Society, the overall student "government," and the second in your constituency, or faculty-based association. For example, if you're in the Faculty of Arts, you belong to both the ams and to the Arts Undergraduate Society. Science students belong to the ams and the Science Undergrad, and so on. Your constituency is responsible for protecting your interests, and representing your opinion. Each hold elections for various positions throughout the year. You pay fees to both levels of government (think gst and pst!), so it's important that you get your money's worth from each. What does your constituency do for you? First, it's probably the organization throwing a Friday afternoon social function, at which you may get cheaper... refreshments than you might otherwise pay. Most constituencies print newsletters, and in the case of the four biggest ones (Grad Studies, Arts, Science and Engineering), a regular newspaper. Also, each constituency generally has an office and/or student lounge, where you can get cheap photocopies and pop, use computers or the phone, or just hang out. Some might even rent you a locker to dump your books in. Also, sports teams are fielded by virtually every constituency in every sport and event imaginable, and many constituencies will even pay part of the costs. Check out your constituency (location and president to the left). Each has its own personality and provides slightly different services,but they're always a great place to make new friends. agriculture Dave Geros 822-5085 MCML architecture Peeroj Thakre 822-6244 lasr 402 arts Shirin Foroutan 822-4403 buch 207 commerce Jay Sharun 822-3798 ANGU dentistry Rocky Bozac 822-2112 MCDN education Dave Darts 822-5632 SCRF engineering Rachel Barstow 822-3818 CHEEZE fnsc Shannon Murphy 822-4651 fnsc iioa forestry Esther Musslick 822-6740 MCML graduate studies Kevin Dwyer 822-3203 KOERNER human kinetics Deanna Letch 822-6175 WMG law Arlene Strom 822-6471 LAW lib & arch Paula Bowering 822-2404 main medicine Ben Chew 822-4500 wood 317 music Scott Walker 822-3113 musc nursing Susanne Hyun 822-7450 pharmacy Ken Tuffin 822-4634 CUNN planning Gretchen Ferguson 822-4409 lasr 433 rehab sciences Heather Bews 822-7392 science Tracy MacKinnon 822-4235 chem bi6o social work Shahzina Karim 822-2255 sowk The feds. 31 All right.

We won't go into any details about any of the committees that make up your constituency, 'cause each one has a slightly different system of doing things, but it's important to know a few basic details about all the different groups that make up the overall student government. i student executive: You've read about them at the beginning of this book, right? Each of the exec are elected by the general student population in January, and although they combine their efforts on many things, each has an area of responsibility. 2 student council: Student Council is chaired by the President, or at his discretion, by a neutral Speaker. Student Council acts as the Board of Directors of the Alma Mater Society, and has ultimate responsibility for everything the ams does. Council meets every second Wednesday at 6 pm in sub 206 to discuss issues of varying importance to students, and the meetings are always open (except when Council votes to go in camera) .The Council is made up of over forty people, elected by each constituency to represent its interests. Each constituency, whether it be a faculty or school, elects one representative for the first 1500 members, and one additional rep for each additional 1500. Constituencies elect their reps in different ways. Some automatically elect the constituency president to sit on ams Student Council. Others elect a "Council Rep" separately, while others choose to give their seats to whichever constituency executive has the most free time. Check with your constituency for more info. Also sitting as non-voting officers of Council are the ams Ombudsperson and Speaker when applicable. The Elections Adminstrator is also an officer of Council, but doesn't attend Council meetings. 3 subgroups of the ams: Below the Council comes a variety of committees, working groups, and directorships.

All meetings of the ssc are open to all students and are usually held just before each month's Senate meeting. The ubc Senate deals with academics and does most of its work in committees. There is at least one student member of every committee and so the ssc is able to keep up on the affairs of the entire Senate and make sure the student perspective is taken into account in all the workings of the committees. The Senate sets admission policies, approves all curriculum changes and is the final court of appeal for judgements on academic discipline or standing. Contact your faculty senator (see list) via your constituency. The ssc can be reached directly at sub 262, calling 822-6101 or e-mailing senate@ams.ubc.ca. Also try http:flwww.ee.ubc.ca /~samold/senate The Board of Govenors (bog) oversees all aspects of the operation of the University, from policy changes and tuition fees, to academic programs and building construction. The Board of Governors is made up of two members elected by the faculty, one from the full-time staff, two from the student body, and seven appointed by the provincial government. The Chancellor and the President sit as ex-officio members. The two students, Cheng-Han Lee and Tara Ivanochko, are there to represent your interests at this important decision-making body.

Some make it. Some don't—many for really good reasons. The following are bad reasons for throwing in the towel and returning to the great unwashed from whence we all came. Check them out, and please don't fall into them. TRAP #1: SLEEPING A real danger is figuring that you must get a lot of sleep to face the daily perils of being a student. There is not doubt that a good seven or eight hours a night would be nice, but don't fall into the trap of sleeping ten to fourteen hours a day just to be sure you get enough. Oddly enough, your body will conspire with your mind in this by getting too much sleep—which feels for some reason like you're still tired. It's a hell of a vicious circle, and someone you know during the year will surely fall to this killer. TRAP #2: TELEVISION If, in your not-too-distant past, you have shown tendencies to watch television for hours at a time, go cold turkey right away and avoid the box like the Plague. If you don't have one, don't get one. No matter how good you may think a liberal television education is, it's not worth blowing your tuition on. If your addiction is just impossibly strong, get a job that allows you to feed it. Forget about university until you get bored with the tube. TRAP #3: BARS Suffice it to say that there are people who open the Pit at noon and close it at one in the morning. If you can do this on money from home, it probably doesn't matter. But, if it's out of your own pocket, why not devote your tuition to it, too? That extra $2 200 could keep your cronies in a lot of beer. TRAP #4: WASTING YOUR TIME IN THE LIBRARY Going to the library is not the same as working in the library. So, if you have a tendency to bullshit yourself, watch that you don't join the hundred of library-loungers wasting their time and thinking they're working when they could be learning more at the Pit or watching TV. TRAP #5: STUDENT POLITICS As good a waste of time as anything else around here. It is, however, fraught with obstacles. You've got to dodge the ego trippers, avoid the empire builders and circumvent the lunatic fringe. Remember that while heavy involve ment in student and service organizations might look good on your resume, flunking out does not. Talk to some of the hacks around the ams about what you can do, but talk to more than one, as they all have their own pet projects. TRAP #6: THE DREADED FIRST AFFAIR There is a documented case of a couple who met in the first week at York University and never left their room for a month, or their residence floor for three more, but were occasionally seen wandering around in their underwear making tea and saying, "Honey, do you know where the sugar is?" This may be your first time away from home and your first chance to sleep regularly with the companion of your choice. But why put yourselves through the agony of having to explain to both sets of parents why both of you failed your year? It's hard enough explaining to mothers why you like the person who's stealing you away from her without giving her some real ammunition. TRAP #7: STUDYING TOO MUCH Another reasonably common ailment is spending all your time studying. Even if you do know that Manicheal Duality refers to the syncretistic religious dualism that originated in Persia way- back-when, you may be struck by the number of people who clear the room as you casually bore the hell out of them. Education, is all well and fine, and you may get into med or law, but it's really not worth it to turn yourself into a social cripple, incapable of attracting a fly of the oppo- TRAP #8: PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL There's nothing wrong with wanting to get into a professional school. There is nothing wrong with working your butt off to do it, either. But remember that there are over 12 000 students in Arts and Science alone, and only a couple of hundred places in first-year law and med school. There are a surprising number of students who, when they get their rejection slip, find that they are half of the way through a degree that they don't particularly want and haven't made any alternate plans. Originally, this article appeared in one of Western's student handbooks. Kudos to the unknown writer who managed to summarize student politics in one line - avoid the empire builders indeed. Since then, this article has appeared in the last two Inside UBCs, and hey, why ruin a perfectly good tradition just for the sake of something new?

HOW TO FIND A PLACE i Call the ams RentsLine™ at 822-9844. 2 Check housing bulletin boards, such as the one in the North sub stairwell, or check the notices at the Bus Loop. 3 Look in big newspapers, like the Sun or the Province, or smaller rags like the Courier or the Georgia Straight. TYPES OF STUDENT HOUSING 1 shared apartment/suite: Usually you sign a lease agreement, and find one or two friends to share the rent on a monthly basis. Problems can arise with finding an apartment for the right number of people that pleases all of them, and finding a replacement roommate when one leaves. Sometimes this type is in the basement of owner's house, so the landlord is just upstairs, recording your every conversation. 2 shared house: This is like a shared apartment, but features the additional problems posed by having up to eight roommates rather than one or two. There are more of them to miss rent payments, it's a bit of a pain dividing the Hydro eight ways, and they will all have relatives who don't know how to use cutlery over as house guests IT'S BIG. IT'S SOPHISTICATED. IT'S EVEBYTEUNG KIDS HATE. YlflcDonald's has made history with, the first child-proof burger.

On the other hand, rent can be dirt cheap, and discounts can occasionally be arranged in exchange for babysitting, housework, or other duties. HOW TO CHOOSE A CRAPPY PLACE TO LIVE Select a place that has one or more of the following: i Dysfunctional oven, fridge, toilet, or sinks. Peek into the fridge, turn on the stove and feel for heat with your hands above the elements. Flush. 2 Suspicious odour which could be gas, or just a dead rat behind the drywall. 3 Dead rats. 4 Live rats (look in cupboards for pellets). 5 Bad insulation; easy to find in old houses. Ask about Hydro bills. 6 Weird landlords and/or rental agreements. Clauses in the lease like "Hi (a) ii. Bare feet are at the peril of the renter," will tip you off. 7 Neighbours from hell. Look for auto carcasses or frothing pitbulls, government signage with the words "halfway house" in the title, or bumper stickers reading "Postal workers do it in the rain." ROOMMATES Roommates can be the best part of a university experience. You learn how to deal with real issues, and can sometimes make lifetime friends. Roommates can come from a rigorous selection process, or just be the result of blind luck. In general, living with other students is advisable, because your schedules will be similar (for instance, everybody will have exams in April). . Good things about roommates i Sharing the rent, utilities, and chores. 37 5 > z z fc OVER^MODN H O |\|ow available at oubcetera cnoc-o-nol-ic\ If I a person who crave? ot» compulsively chocolate consumes- I 2868 W.Broadway Vancouver 737-0880 httpy/w ww.over-the-moon.com/moo/ 38 2 Pooling of resources, eg.

Bad things about roommates i Sharing the bathroom, fridge, pots and pans, and dishes. 2 Sometimes you just want to kill them all, and stack them up in the yard like so much cordwood. PROBLEMS: SOURCES AND CLARIFICATIONS i deposit: The deposit may not exceed 50% of one month's rent. There is only one deposit for a rental. There is no such thing as a key deposit, Hydro deposit, or otherwise. It is simply a security deposit. This is to be paid within 30 days of entering the tenancy agreement. Within 30 days of the termination of the tenancy, the landlord must return the security deposit, plus interest (there is a standard calculation table), but possibly minus damages believed to be beyond normal wear and tear. Disputes can be filed with the Residential Tenancy Branch for a $35 fee, recoverable if the claim is successful. Only once did I not receive the entire deposit back, and it wasn't even my fault. Honest. The deduction was for a huge burn mark on a wooden counter top, probably from a super-hot pan. It was there when I moved in, but the person who did it had moved out a year earlier. I got stuck with part of the deduction because I was in the house when the landlord chose to move back in. It was a hot potato passed on from tenant to tenant. Go through the place with the landlord looking for damage before you move in, and have it noted. 2 rent: To be paid on a pre-arranged day every month. If no day is specified, the rent is due on the first of the month. Non-payment is grounds for eviction, and a notice can be served the day after the rent was due, to take effect ten days after the notice is served. Translated from legalese: "Paying rent right on time is a very good idea." The landlord is not permitted to seize your Single Student Housing property as collateral for unpaid rent or increase rent 822-2811 mm intent to evict, either. He must provide three T-Bird & Summe%, months notice for any increase, which cannot take Housing place until twelve months after the first rent is col- 822-2812 lected. Family Housing 3 access: The landlord may not enter your 822-4411 dwelling without your permission, except in a gen- wrr uine emergency. Or if you get abducted by aliens, 228-9031 anc^ t^ie place l°°ks abandoned. St. Andrew's Hall J& Pur?ose °/thismle is clear: {t P™sy°ur 822-9720 landlady from dropping in unexpectedly while you are dancing on the living room couch wearing noth- Rentslin#fr ** ing but ^^ and listening to "The Best Of Bread." 822-9844 Not that this has ever happened to me, or anything. The landlord may not limit access to your guests, but keep in mind that you are responsible for damage done by them. Incidentally, the landlord cannot deny access to political candidates, either. Go figure. Neither you nor the landlord can have the locks changed without the other's permission. 4 firetraps: Fire Marshall Bill had been trying to make an appointment to inspect our house for at least a year. The usual routine was to hide in the basement when he called (we had a lot of practice avoiding unknown knockers, since we were on one of the main Jehovah's Witness thoroughfares). Anyhow, he eventually did catch us upstairs, and one peek at our furnace room was enough to make him flee like a deer from a rifle range. The word "firehad" was uttered as he flew down the front steps in terror. This particular safety hazard was our landlady's responsibility. On the other hand, I distinctly recall one of my roommates, who is employed as a pyrotechnician for the Canucks, proudly showing off a firecracker the size of a raccoon. The theory was that if a fire ever started in his workshop, we'd have to call the Chilliwack fire department, as that's where the house would finally land. This particular safety hazard was our responsibility. 5 illegal suites: According to the Tenants' Rights Action Coalition (trac), nearly 20% of the bc rental housing supply is made up of illegal suites. A disproportionate amount of those are occupied by students. If you are living in an illegal suite, be aware that the rules covered here and in the bc Tenancy Act apply equally to you; the provincial Act does not distinguish between legal and illegal suites - it's the municipal inspectors that are governed by local bylaws that require them to shut down illegal suites or insist on expensive upgrades. Don't let yourself get caught in a dangerous situation - use your common sense when selecting a place to live and dealing with your neighbours and landlords. RESOLVING PROBLEMS If you have a problem you can't work out with your landlord, don't come crying to me. Call the Residential Tenancy Branch at 660- 3456, or drop by their office on the 4th floor at 5021 Kingsway (in Burnaby). All of the various disasters listed here actually happened to Graeme Kennedy, proving that he does have a "weirdness field" that warps the laws of probability in his general vicinity.

Information is available from the Office of Co-operative Education. BUDGETING A detailed budget goes a long way in keeping cash in your pocket. One thing you have to do to start is to turn in the Anal Budgeter From Hell™ and either keep all your receipts or jot down all your purchases in a notebook. After about two weeks, total your categories and multiply to find out how much you'd spend in a typical year. This can be quite a learning experience. Who knew you spent $i 200 on beer? And you can look back and wonder if the $500 spent at John's Yak Academy was really worth it. So now that you've calculated all your expenditures, figure out all your incomes, and do a budget. Decide carefully what your priorities should be (new cd player or rent?) Make sure you've counted all your income, especially bank heists and rich aunts. Now you've got to try to hold on to your hard-earned cash. If you spend your money foolishly you'll find yourself living on soup made from old chocolate bar wrappers, and that green thing living in the fridge. HOW TO KEEP YOUR CASH 1 shop around before you buy stuff: Used textbooks can cost half of new ones and K-Mart can have deals on bulk paper. 2 pack a lunch to school: The cafeterias are convenient, but for the price of one decent meal, you could buy a loaf of Awards and Financial Aid bread, a pack of sandwich meat, and enough juice for 822-5111 six or seven meals. Cooperative Education 3 get rid of your car if you've got one: A car is your 822-3014 (Engineering) biggest expense, sucking back over $3 000 a year for 822^465':'^Xix^^r ^fSSflRsurance and parking.

Call 877-7000 today for details. 3777000 4 don't keep your money where you can get at it: Prevent impulse buying by keeping most of your cash in an account not accessible by a debit card, and don't carry lots of cash in your wallet. How often do you really need that bag of chips, anyways? 5 before buying something, calculate how many hours of work it took to earn the money to buy that new stereo, and decide if it's really worth it. Translating "items" into "hours worked" really helps. 6 service charges: Most banks have student accounts with lower rates. 7 pay off your credit card as soon as possible: 13-15 % interest rates will kill ya. 8 never borrow from one creditor to pay off another. 9 in financial trouble: Tell your creditors if you're going to miss a payment. They'll be much more compassionate, and much less likely to reposess your worldly possessions. 10 divide purchases into needs and wants, and remember that needs are supposed to come first.

While you glance over your notes to get some last minute studying done, you think about the 30 page paper due in 2 weeks. You're tired and you feel a cold coming on. Suddenly, you hear an loud screeching noise from out of nowhere...^g^ou feel an overwhelming pound from behind... that?

Cons^&^SsWsso^^r^^^^^^^^^^^^m, a 30 page paper, being late, a car accident, unpaid rent, a job. These stressors can be harmful when they accu- mulate, so learning to recognize both significant and less significant stressors is important. IDENTIFY YOUR STRESS RESPONSE Do you know your body well enough to know how it responds to stressors? Do you scream in anger? Or maybe you completely zone out to get away from your situation? To help you identify some stress responses, here's a checklist of common stress responses. i My heart beats faster. 2 I find it difficult to concentrate. 3 I get diarrhea / constipated. 4 I imagine terrifying scenes and can't keep anxiety-provoking pictures and images out of my mind. 5 I pace nervously. 6 I feel I'm losing out on things because I can't make decisions fast enough. 7 I perspire. Once you find your stress responses, you must differentiate between negative and positive ones. One day, I was upset and frustrated because of stressors in my life: recovering from a broken ankle, work pressures, a houseguest and other personal pressures. My first stress response was not useful. Sure, I got out some of my frustration through yelling and swearing, but it was only temporary relief. So, I chose to ride my bike from Burnaby to ubc. You know what? I felt great after this. I couldn't even remember what I was so frustrated about to begin with! Now that you can recognize your stressors and stress responses, you can learn about your coping mechanisms. 47 D 5 > z z IIP IB J 48 COPING MECHANISMS First, you might try releasing the pressure through physical activity such as team sports, cycling or running. A good workout not only gets all that energy out of your system, but you'll also feel healthier and more fit. The second way is through non-physical means such as reading or meditation. Just remember that you have a unique combination of stressors, stress responses and coping mechanisms, so what works for your friend might not work for you. When you encounter stressful situations, assume control: you do have a choice as to how you react. For instance, try to see the silver lining. Yes, you might have totalled your parents' car, but at least no one died. There are a few things you can do to improve the way you deal with stress. Stay healthy, though adequate sleep, food and exercise. Don't try to cope with everything alone. And don't strain for absolute control. By staying calm, you'll be more objective and able to rationalize your feelings. And finally, go get assistance. You can call Speakeasy at 822-3777. Cristina Toso is the Director of Speakeasy Peer Counselling and Information. Last year, Cristina had opportunity to apply stress management techniques: a broken and dislocated ankle and a marriage to attend in Las Vegas during April exams, a bad relationship, and two jobs. Eating lots of junk food wasn't the best way to deal with the stress, but with sports, writing and meditation, Cristina was able to pull through.

This creates the worst of both worlds: you are working hard, but not seeing any reward. A great way to drive yourself into a stress-related mental collapse. The "technical" term for this is procrastination; it's also referred to as "farting around," or, more crudely, "fucking the dog." Here's some of the major reasons you might be procrastinating: i Your task is completely irrelevant. 2 You're accepting someone else's goals instead of your own. 3 You're a perfectionist. 4 You're not really sure how to start, or you're unclear about what to do next to finish your task. All of these reasons are valid: think about why you're procrastinating and sometimes you'll see a way to get it done (ie "go talk to prof and ask 'How do I write a bibliography?'"). Or, with luck, you've "anticipated your deadline" and you can afford to take a couple of hours to go work out or read a book. If not, too bad. You're going to be up all night to get your essay written. Hah hah. EVERYONE PROCRASTINATES You can work through short periods of procrastination and still be managing your time effectively. Unfortunately, many of us become chronic procrastinators. (I can think of several friends right now). How do you recognize when your poor time management skills are impacting your grades, your relationships and your life in general? i Do you act as though if you ignore a task, it will go away? 2 Do you constantly say "sure, I can get it done the night before... " 3 Do you settle for low grades, or convince yourself that a C- in Biology will still get you into med school? 4 Do you substitute one accomplishment for another? "Look, I didn't study for my finals, but isn't my apartment nice and clean?* 5 Do you spend hours getting one little part of the job done (say, the introduction of your paper) but leave everything else (the rest THE now availab campus at the NEW SUBcetera Student Union Btiildim --:- of the essay) until the last minute? If you recognize yourself in any of the above situations, you might be a chronic procrastinator. Medical science can't really help you. You're going to have to change the way you deal with work: improve your work area, keep better lists, or reward yourself when you do accomplish something. There's more you can do. Try segmenting big tasks. Remember that humans need relaxation and variety, although I'm not suggesting a trip to Hawaii as a necessary step to doing your honours thesis. A big part of effective time management lies in your mental attitude. Personal problems can certainly have an impact, so talking them out with a friend or counsellor might clear the way to getting some serious work done. Finally, no one's a perfect time management machine. Some people are better than others at different things. After all, we all can't be as fast as Donovan Bailey or as bulked as Arnold Schwarznegger after winning his sixth Mr. Universe title. But, if you'd like to get more information about this area, the folks at Student Counselling (822-3811) can certainly help. Most of the material was drawn from "Overcoming Procrastination" and "Time Management," distributed through the Student Resource Centre in Brock Hall. Blair McDonald realizes how this book could have been better if he had just applied a few of the principles, and spent a bit less time staring at the ceiling tiles. 23,087 holes, if you're wondering. 51 Old Stitch FOODS LTD.

She had only one more person to see that day. They were ten minutes late. Suddenly, her intercom buzzed. "Mr. Tyler is here to interview for the position." "Send him in please." The door swung open and a young man walked in. He was very out-of-breath, and he was wearing a T-shirt, jeans, and grubby sneakers. The interviewer stood up and extended her hand.

Martin said. "It should only be a few more minutes. Could you describe a situation where you dealt with conflict or some problem on the job?" Martin was silent for a few seconds. "That's hard, Martin frowned, "but I can think of one time when I was delivering papers for the Vancouver Sun. My idiot manager had forgot to give me all the papers on my route, and I had to go to the store myself and buy the papers with my own money. It was his dumb mistake, but I think I did a good job covering for him. I'm good about things like that." "Alright, Martin. That's about all I need. Do you have any questions for me?" "Um, yeah. How much does this job pay?" "Well, you would start at nine dollars an hour, and possibly go up from there." "I guess that's OK. When would I be starting?" "Well, if you're hired, you would most likely be starting next Monday." "OK. Thanks. Bye," Martin said as he got up and made a quick, unceremonious exit.

Many non-profit agencies call for highly qualified volunteers simply because they cannot afford the cost of an employee. These agencies may request for volunteers with science, engineering, arts, education or commerce backgrounds. All volunteer positions provide the volunteer with valuable experience related to some career field, even if it's not the one you're pursuing at the moment. You may find a new career due to your volunteer work, or at least get accurate information on employment opportunities. Additionally, volunteers obtain a much-needed reference, get to know others in the "right places" and/or use their volunteer work as a stepping stone to their desired destination. Volunteer work will surely help a career-seeking individual to "get a foot in the door." A common misunderstanding about volunteering is every position carries few responsibilities or challenges. This idea could not be more wrong. Volunteer work is diverse in commitment, level of demand and responsibilities. Positions range from roller hockey coach to emergency support services worker for victims of robbery, violence, medical and trauma. Regardless of a student's interest and volunteer needs, there is likely a position in their area of interest. JobLink and Volunteer Services exist to help you put more than "babysitting" under your experience section of your resume. We can help with both the preparation needed to get the position you want, and put you in touch with people who need your services. Of course, we can't guarantee you'll win every interview, but the more you practice, the better you'll get. Chris Allison is the Director of JobLink and Bernice Tsang the Director of Volunteer Services. Obviously, these positions will look real spiffy on their future resumes. cmfMfWi 1G H¥0 Receive 2C fRtt iaxdJ, Available to the first SOO Students to bring in this ad fiamop&iSGJF- semcopm ONLY s* w $>V3 hower Level 822-4388 BWDWG LMWWQ FOLDING D 5 > Z z K m 56 If only there was a course entitled 'The Histoffof Beer."

Also, take the time to find out what style your professor prefers. 3 If you have the time and expertise, run your work through a dtp program to get that "professional look." CRAMMING 1 Cramming is damage control. You might think it's cool, but trust me, seeing the sun rise twice over your tear-stained textbooks is not a good way to get a passing mark. Everyone will do the all- nighter at some point, but if you do it too often, you're barrelling straight for a Dean's Vacation. 2 At this point, keep an eye on studying only what is most likely to be on the test. Sidebars and recommended readings are a waste of your precious time (probably measured in minutes). 3 Try memorizing first principles wherever possible, and derive equations during your exam. You can try memorizing a page of formulae, but how many will you actually be able to apply correctly? 4 Coffee, chocolate-covered coffee beans and cola can be a huge help in staying awake. They can also be your downfall if you ingest too much, since at some point, your body just shuts down. TAKING TESTS 1 Check both the prelim and final exam schedules. Note the dates very carefully. (Not like I've ever missed an exam 'cause I wrote it down wrong). 2 Don't make really dumb mistakes. Put your name on the top, for starters, and read the instructions very carefully. 3 If a section's only worth 10% of the mark, don't spend a quarter of your time on it. 4 If all else fails, be creative; you might still get part marks. CONCLUSION I think the two most valuable traits you can develop to succeed at university are discipline and organization. I had a teacher in high school tell me those two traits were more important than raw smarts. I didn't believe him at the time, but now I've learned the error of my ways. Just get it done. If this hasn't helped you even a tiny bit, the UBC Student Resource Centre (822-3811) offers courses on these topics. Andy Ferris can't decide if London Calling, Kind of Blue, or Exile in Guyville is the best album of all time.

There are several levels of life at ubc: academic, social, and the miscellaneous. Your social life is your own business, but as for the other two, there's lots of info that will make your life a lot easier if you get stuck in a jam. How do you go about fixing these problems? Read on... MISCELLANEOUS PROBLEMS TO DEAL WITH i parking: the cardinal rule is this - if it doesn't say "Park Here," then you can't. If you get ticketed, get it dealt with (pay or protest if they've made a mistake). If you have more than two tickets (and 82% of you do), you'd better like playing "tow me" roulette 'cause they'll start towing on the third. 2 security: if you have a concern about anything in this area, contact Meg Gaily (ubc's Personal Security Officer) at 822-6210. 3 housing: Residence Life Managers are your one-stop problem, concern, or question machine for anything to do with each housing area. Contact them via the front desk of each residence. 4 maintenance: the classroom smells, the toilet's plugged, there's no left-handed desks... you should talk to your prof or the local janitor first, and nudge them in the direction of Plant Operations (822-2173). 5 library: the Main Circulation desk is usually the place to go. If your fines are about to break the bank, go talk to them - they can set up a nifty "repayment plan." Of course, you're all students, and the reason you're here is to get a degree at the end of how-ever-many years it takes. So, your major concerns likely lie in the realm of things academic. Here's the info you need, in easy-to-read, bite-sized chunks. ACADEMIC STANDING You're in shock. It's midterm time, and the mark you see in front of you is, well... much lower than you expected. Calm down! Fainting won't help. Neither will tearing out your hair. Dealing with things when you are in panic mode is never a good idea and it can lead to you wasting your day sitting in Emergency. Once you've relaxed you should check over your test. Were the marks added up correctly? Do the answers match the solution that the prof has been describing in class?

Or, you might come to the conclusion that you were lucky to get the mark you did. You should arrange to see your prof if it's the former, and steal away quietly in the night if it's the latter. When talking to your prof, be respectful. Be prepared to present your views firmly, but don't get carried away. Remember, this is the same person that is going to mark your final exam. At best your grade will improve slightly. It is unlikely you'll turn a c+ into an a. In some cases you might not be satisfied with the reasoning used by the instructor, or you might feel that your mark was not determined through a fair procedure. The distinction between these two situations may not be very clear, so it is important to pause for a moment and clear up any ambiguities. The Ombudsoffice can also help in this area. ACADEMIC JUDGMENT Course instructors are selected because they are knowledgeable in the material of a specific course. They are not infallible, but they generally know what they are talking about. Part of an instructor's job is to use his or her academic judgment to evaluate the work done by students in a course and assign a grade representing the quality of that work. Academic judgment is one of the core ideals of a university. If you don't agree with the academic judgment of the instructor, you can ask that a second opinion be obtained. Some departments have a mechanism for re-grading papers, especially those that constitute a large percentage of the final mark. This is called a Review of Assigned Standing. Re-grading cannot be done for things like class participation or presentations, because of their nature. When the second opinion differs significantly from the original mark, a paper is usually given the higher mark. If the second opinion pretty much matches the original mark there is no change. Once an academic judgment has been made it is final. Further appeals on academic judgment are not possible. ACADEMIC PROCESS Instructors are also required to treat students fairly and ensure that they follow the rules of academic procedure that apply to the university as a whole as well as any additional rules that might apply within a particular faculty, school or department. If you think you have been treated unfairly by the instructor, you can launch a formal appeal of the grading process that your instructor used to determine your mark. To launch a formal appeal you go to the Registrar's office, fill out some paperwork and pay a small fee. The registrar will arrange to have your grade re-evaluated and you will receive notification of the outcome. AMS Ombudsoffkp After all this you might still be of the opinion that l/ttXmEr you bave not received fair treatment.

For an appeal to be successful you will have to show that the instructor did not follow university procedures in determining your grade, or treated you unfairly. These are the only circumstances under which an appeal of your grade will be heard. ACADEMIC DISCIPLINE You've just got one of your major papers back. You flip to the last page, expecting to find a mark, but all you see is a message in the upper right-hand corner. It reads, "Your paper entitled lA Theory of Relativity' bears a strong resemblance to that of one A. Einstein. Please arrange to see me after class." Sick fear fills your stomach. Were you too lax with your citations? Plagiarism is the act of passing off the thoughts or writings of another person as if they were your own. As far as the University is concerned, plagiarism is the same as looking at someone else's paper during an exam. They are both cheating and if caught, you can be subject to severe penalties such as getting a zero in the course or getting suspended from the university. If you know you plagiarized, it's in your best interest to tell the truth from the start. Denying it only makes it worse. The President of the University is the only person that can discipline you for committing an academic offense, no matter how small, but the process begins when your professor suspects that an academic offense may have been committed. Your prof will have to decide whether the situation is the result of a misunderstanding, or whether an academic offense has been committed. You'll be better off convincing your prof that you made an honest mistake even if it means getting a zero on the paper. Honest mistakes do happen. A great deal depends on where you are in your university career. A first year student is more likely to make the mistake than a fourth year student. If you're ever in doubt how to cite your sources, ask! If you find yourself in trouble but are uncertain what you've done wrong, you may wish to talk to the ams Ombudsoffice before you see your prof. They can answer any questions about the process and give you advice on how to proceed.- Here's how the process works.

This is your chance to correct the problem before it gets out of hand. Next, if necessary, the professor will pass the case to the Head of the Department, who passes it to the Dean, and finally to the President's Advisory Committee. At each stage you get a chance to present your side of the story. If you have not seen the Ombudsoffice yet, this would be a very good time. The Ombudsoffice can tell you how to assemble your appeal and can give you advice on how to conduct yourself during the hearing. The President will decide if the case deserves academic discipline and you'll be informed of the decision in writing. If discipline is required, the details will be described in the letter. You can make a final appeal to the Senate Committee on Student Appeals of Academic Discipline. The Senate Committee can adjust or overturn the decision of the President. Academic discipline is a serious matter. The best thing you can do is steer clear. If you are not sure how to properly cite someone else's work, go ask your prof. Doesn't the axiom go "better safe than sorry?" Although this article isn't a particularly humourous one, it does contain information that at the least, will make your stay at ubc an easier one. At worst, it may contain some tidbit of info that will save your degree. The ams Ombudsoffice is staffed by student volunteers who have been there. They can help you make sense of University policy and procedure, give you advice or even voice your concerns for you. So, if you're ever faced with any of the above problems, talk to your profs, your advisor, or the Ombudsoffice if you want advice, support or just an ear for your academic woes. Jim Boritz was kind enough to take the time from his studies to write the "expert" version on how to deal with stuff academic. He is a Senator-at- large, currently sitting on the Senate Committee on Academic Appeals, and the Senate Committee on Academic Standing. Kathryn Bell is the Director of the AMS Ombudsoffice, and is truly a master of helping students deal with the University bureaucracy. 65 > z z m 9$ Cash Fast Canada's Leader in Self-Serve Banking Visit our Cash Counter in the University Pharmacy at 5754 University Blvd. ROYAL BANK 10th & Sasamat Branch 4501 West 10th Avenue Vancouver, B.C.

Everyone eventually finds themselves in {j|ppft>rary. Most students find themselves there during thSf^HW weeks, but some, the legendary few, go to heroic efforts to avoid any concentration of books, no matter how small. That is, until they're assigned a research project in fourth year and are required to use Library resources. Why go to so muchtfouble? The Library isn't a scary place. Big, yes. Complex, yes.

These fines can pile up in a hurry if you forget to return that box of books under your bed. Obviously, you can avoid paying $3.8 trillion dollars if just return or renew those books on time! Remember, you can renew those books on-line - even if it's three in the morning and you're pulling an all-nighter!

Call Main Circulation (822-3869) to cancel and request a new card. If you've forgotten your library password, the staff can also reset it to the default barcode number on the back of your card. PHOTOCOPIERS Most copiers don't take cash anymore - they use a ubc Library copycard (available from machines in most branches) and work just like a debit card. You "fill" the card with money, and the copiers take it away at the rate of 90 a copy. Copycards are also used to print out search results from cd-roms and other online material. Guard your copycard with your life - many students forget to take it with them after they've used a copier, much to the delight of the person next in line.

When the renovations are complete, the tower and the renovated spaces will open as the new Koerner Library. The new library will contain 650,000 items of high-use Humanities and Social Sciences currently in Main. Then (probably decades from now), the Main Library will be "decanted." That's a polite way of saying "we're going to knock down all the dangerous, earthquake-prone wings and leave the nice, granite heritage section for use as a ceremonies building." It also looks bright for the incorporation of high-tech stuff into the Library systems. A new catalogue system will update ubclib, and more stations, cd-roms and other whiz-bang things will be added as money is found. It's impossible to discuss in detail all the different aspects of the University Library system. There are literally hundreds of databases, millions of books and thousands of journals. Tours of each branch are available and strongly encouraged. Classes are offered on how to use the electronic and other reference tools. But most importantly, there are people in each and every branch with the expertise to help. Even if you know where to go to search, finding the actual information can be a challenge. You're not expected to know everything about the Library - we are! No question is too small. 69 > Z z m main stacks The largest library on campus, six floors, three storage areas, all interconnected with narrow metal staircases that look like they're been stolen from a battleship. fine arts library Also located in the Main Library building, and home to all things artistic or architectural. music library Contains the University's collection of sheet music, musicology books, and many of its recordings. wilson recording collection Tons of music to listen to, but you'll need to buy a separate membership. crane library This branch has braille and large print books, as well as recordings.

You made it on time to your first class - everything else should be a breeze, right? But just showing up isn't enough to gugtfB antee... well, anything. For those wondering if they remembered to do everything, or those wondering what they need to do, here's a list of what you should be doing the first week of school. After that, you're on your own. But relax, thousands of people have been through ubc, and they all made it through first week. Chances are, you're much smarter than most of them. paying up Fee deadlines are probably the most important deadlines you'll encounter at ubc. If your term paper is late, you'll get a few marks taken off; if your housing payment is late, you're liable to get evicted. Like term papers, however, if you simply can't make the deadline, you can often get an extension on paying your fees (housing, tuition, etc.). fist talk to the person in charge, and explain your situation. Sadly, amnesia is not an a^gpted excuse for late payment. Within two weeks of registering, you were supposed to pay the university a $100 deposit to hold your classes. If you haven't done this, now wouldlt a good time to panic, as you are no longer registered in any classes; for that matter, you aren't actually a student. Drop* •, everything, run to the BSPffiStr's Office and start begging. By the way, rubbing a little hot pepper juice in your eye makes crying a lot easier. Your first term tuition was/is due on September 4 (WednesdayfiS Call Telereg to see how much you owe.

If you miss this ofl& you'll jSft^be kicked out of all your courses, and you'll have to re-register (after wtffojjl: you'11^11 have ,'' to pay your fees). YOUR BOOKS This really should be on the list of "Things to do the Week Before photo- School Starts." Oddly enough, books are one of the key aids to doing John I ^pfl in class. Be warned, the Bookstore gets a little crazy around Hallett this time of year.

If you'd rather save some of that cash for other things, read on. Your books ^° save moneY> don't buy the recommended texts (do buy the required texts). Your prof wWhever 1 %ll^ill^v/AM^Sri assign readings from them, base exam questions on a^MtMum them, or even refer to them during class. If they do, borrow one. If you find yourself wishing you had the Math ioo Study Guide go to the Bookstore and get it - but wait until you know what you really need. Don't worry about the Bookstore running out of recommended texts: nobody else buys them either. Buying used books is also a good way to save some cash. The easiest place to find them is at the Bookstore - the ones with the big ugly stickers. Other great places include the ams Used Bookstore (located this year in sub South Plaza - look for posters), and of course, the Bus Loop. Everyone and their dog is trying to get rid of their old texts. Remember, you have until September 20 (the add/drop deadline for 2 term courses) to take back books bought from the ubc Bookstore (new or used) for a full refund. This means that you can buy all of your books from the ubc Bookstore (to make sure you have 'em), and then look elsewhere to see if you can get them cheaper. CLASS By now, you've found your classes. I hope. Make the effort to go. Every hour of lecture costs you roughly $5.90, so if you skip class, make sure it's for something you're willing to pay at least six bucks an hour to do. Besides the financial benefits, going to class offers the advantage of making it much easier to pass. There are legends of people who have passed courses by doing nothing more than attending the occasional class, doing one or two assignments, and 71 D > 1 z in SlipS UBC BOOKSTORE 6200 University Blvd. Vancouver, B.C.

Besides, you'll probably learn some interesting stuff Nobody is forcing you to be here; you're supposed to like this stuff. Introduce yourself to your professor. Contrary to popular belief, it usually works to your advantage if the professor knows who you are. First of all, this will make them more receptive when you go begging and sniveling to help you study for (or give you extra marks on) your midterms and finals. Second, a professor will probably mark your exams a little easier if they know who you are. Finally, you can't suck up to someone who doesn't know you; it probably wouldn't hurt to give your professor cash donations, but this is probably illegal, so you didn't hear it from me. A final note on classes: while it can be real inconvenient to make an effort in a class you hate, it's usually far better to pass it the first time if you can, rather than having to take it twice... <ed.

It isn't essential that you have your Library card right away; the first time you'll really need it will be during finals, when you'll be asked for your student card to prove you haven't cunningly hired a grad student/stunt double to write your test for you. Despite this, you probably won't want to wait right to the end of November to get your card, since it allows you to do all kinds of other things, such as checking out books at the Library (duh), voting in elections, swimming free at the pool, and getting cheap stuff at all of the local merchants that offer discounts to students. On a personal note, I'd wouldn't recommend losing your Library card. I chose to ignore those inane "don't turn your back on your JJ pack" signs at Woodward, and left my card unattended while I went ^ outside to take a nap. A long story and one stolen card later, some- ^5 one had checked out $5 000 worth of books on my card to start a ^ private medical library. Goddamn pre-med keeners... H" LIVING mf Old people (ie anyone older than me) are supposed to look back y on their university years as the best ones of their lives. Few of them n*j ever mention "studying in Sedge 'til it closes" as one of those happy XI memories - the people who get the most out of university are the people who do things outside of class. If that didn't convince you, consider this: when you leave school, nobody's ever going to care how you did in math 101 (so long as you passed it,) but they will care if you were involved at ubc, thereby proving that you aren't boring. If that didn't still convince you, consider this: the highest marks in the world won't get you through your med school interviews. There's in the neighbourhood of 2 000 things you can get involved in here at ubc. Some of them can be found throughout this book. While you can join most of them at any time during the year, it's more fun if you get involved as soon as possible. The later you leave getting involved, the more likely you are to be stuck being the new kid for the rest of the year. Keep an eye out for Clubs Days in the sub (okay, so it won't be happening in the first week; it's still a good thing to look out for) and join a club. Rush a fraternity or sorority. Make up an Intramurals team. Run for a position with your undergrad society. Write for a paper. Volunteer. Do something. Do anything. Have fun. Matt Wiggin is the Director of Orientation Services, despite being unable to find his way around campus. Of all the advice given in the article, Matt's followed the "have fun" part the most assidiously - to the point of shaving his head, piercing his tongue and doing other, equally strange things to get people to pay attention to him.

To date, our "Birds have won a total of 38 ciau (Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union) Championships, second only to the University of Toronto. Each year over 500 ubc students don traditional T-Bird Blue and Gold to compete for ubc in 13 different Varsity sports with both men's and women's teams, ubc student athletes have the opportunity to combine an uncompromised post- secondary education with high-performance, elite-level competition against universities from across Canada and the usa. ubc plays host to a number of special events in 1996-97, starting with the 19th Annual Shrum Bowl football game against crosstown arch-rivals, Simon Fraser University, at Thunderbird Stadium on September 13. Attracting thousands of students from both schools, this long-standing rivalry has long been the bench mark of a successful season (did I mention that we won last year . . .and the year before that too!). If hockey is your thing, then there's the Father Bauer Classic Hockey Tournament December 28-30 at the Thunderbird Winter Sports Centre. Come cheer on your v Birds as they take on teams from Canada and Europe in international competition. The Thunderbird Athletics department also offers traditional Friday and Saturday night games in hockey, basketball, volleyball and football, as well as afternoon soccer, rugby and field hockey. New this year, ubc students will be offered subsidized ticket prices to all home games. Who needs the Canucks and Grizzlies when you can come out and cheer for your hard working and hard playing Thunderbirds at a fraction of the cost. Come on out and join the Tailgators in supporting your favorite T-Birds! For the latest information about upcoming games, ticket prices and results from every T-Bird game, call the Blue and Gold Hotline, ubc-bird (822-2473). For any information about a specific team, tryout dates, game schedules or student employment opportunities, call ubc Athletics at 822-2531 or 822-2503 weekdays from 8:30 am to 4:30 PM. GO BIRDS!!

Read by folks from across the city (and not just those of us on campus), it provides up-to-date reviews on current music and music trends. The club listings and event calendar are excellent, and the occasional interview by Narduar the Human Serviette really throws an abnormal kink in an otherwise normal day. title The nEUSpay per publisher Engineering Undergraduate Society frequency Bi-weekly or whenever the editor sobers up best use Paper airplanes. Really... try it. This recent effort at putting all things geerish in print is essentially The nEUSlettre's grown up brother. The jokes and top ten list copied off of the Internet make The nEUSpayper bear striking resemblance to The Underground, only with better layout. As with many things from the eus, you have to be either an engineer or drunk (or both) to understand most of what lies within. From time to time, intellegently written articles on Engineering career choices show that not every Engineer is a dribbling, beer-swilling moron. title The Point publisher Intramurals frequency Bi-weekly best use Figuring out where your team stands in the results The Point is the paper to get if you want coverage of the enour- mously active Intramurals and Athletics sports scene at ubc Well- researched, written and edited, lots of great photos; has all the parts every other paper lacks. Great to pick up if you're at all into sports, or thinking about getting involved at some point down the road. title The Ubyssey publisher The Ubyssey Publications Society frequency Twice-weekly (Tuesday and Friday) best use Bored in class? Actually care what's going on? One of the few papers on campus that pursues actual news, The Ubyssey has struggled against many potential scandals over the years to reach its current level of popularity. Before obtaining autonomy from the student government in its 1995 independence vote, it often seemed that The Ubyssey's primary aim for cover stories was shock value rather than actual news coverage. But after the vote, the paper has used the $5 collected from every student at ubc to bring legitimate news to the student body and appears to be improving with each issue. News coverage from the past year included a day-after referendum story from a Ubyssey reporter in Quebec. title The Underground publisher Arts Undergraduate Society frequency Bi-weekly, with a loose definition of week. best use Filling the gaps between issues of The 432. From the faculty where English is a required course comes The Underground. Printed by folks with a religious dislike for spellcheck- ers, regular font sizes, and production schedules, The Underground springs up onto campus once in a while to spread its manic version of humour. A chronic lack of contributors keeps the pages filled with top ten lists scammed off of the Internet, but the occasional excellent article floats through the static. The Underground generally gives its arch-enemy The 432 a good run for the money. At its worst, however, it is little more than eight pages of 34 point type top ten lists. There are many other campus publications that make their appearance from time to time. Every single campus media is always desperate for help; check them out if you're even remotely interested in what they do. Also, check out publications such as Perspectives (see the club blurbs sections for more info), Horizons SF (a sci-fi mag), and many others. These publications can generally be found in the Student Union Building and provide a window into the world not covered by any of the "giants" of the industry. Giant being a relative word, of course. John Hallett is the Editor of The 432, which could explain the huge bias in this article. Also, John is working towards the impressive goal of drinking his own weight in vodka. This goes a long way in explaining his overall writing ability. 85 r D 1 z m fe v.

Your Netinfo account gives you the option of having 10 regular dial-in hours , or 5 slip/ppp dial in hours per month. Regular dial-in access gives you all of the basic Netinfo services, like e-mail and Usenet news. With slip/ppp dial-in hours, however, you can establish a direct connection to the 'net — and can use a program like Netscape to get full access to the World Wide Web, complete with pictures, sounds, and video. For slip/ppp, you need to purchase a software package from csci ioo, which comes complete with installation instructions. You also need a fairly recent computer, and at least a 14.4KPS modem. In addition to the regular Netinfo account, you can purchase a higher level account from Computing Services in csci 100, and you can gain greater access to more advanced internet features as ftp, and Telnet, giving you broader access to worldwide information. Higher level accounts also provide you with more dial-in hours, both regular and slip/ppp, plus other options such as personalized domain names.

Most of the information on the Internet which is valuable to students can be found via the World Wide Web. Each www site, or website, has its own address, called a url. For instance, the website for the ubc Bookstore is http://www.bookstore.ubc.ca To go to this website using netinfo, type g' on the main screen, and then enter the url exactly as it was written above. Press enter, and the website will be loaded. Using Netscape, or any other web browser, enter the url in the text-entry field at the top of the screen, and press enter. Most websites will still be viewable using a text-only web browser like the one which Netinfo uses, but you won't be able to load any of the multimedia elements, such as graphics or sounds. There are several places on the web to find campus information, and more websites are popping up every day. Here's a list of some of the major sites, and what they have to offer. I have also included a five-star rating of the site, based on the quality of information provided, and the way in which it was presented.

Good bye, TeleReg lady! •**• ubc Library http ://unixg. ubc xa:yooi/ Contains information about all campus libraries, including online resources and catalogue listings.

Online information is included about virtually every product the bookstore has available. This site makes good use of searchable databases, letting you check if they have the book you want, before you brave the line-ups. *** In addition to the above websites, there are sites for most faculties and departments, and many other homepages which are of interest to students in general. You can access these via links in View ubc 91 COMMENTS RATING NAME URL CONTENTS COMMENTS RATING NAME URL CONTENTS COMMENTS i > i z p m You can survive your university years without getting even thinking about the Internet. You can also, for that matter, survive without reading a textbook or ever going to a beer garden. However, even using the 'net for the most basic things; e-mailing questions to a professor, or changing your mailing address online, will make your academic life a lot easier. So, go and get an e-mail address. Explore the Internet. If you get lost, Don't Panic — there are plenty of services available at ubc to make your little sojourn into cyberspace comfortable (and aesthetically pleasing!) Before you know it, all of this crazy talk about urls and e-mail addresses will be as easy to digest as a Chicken McNugget™, and you'll be using the 'net like a pro. I promise.

Bike helmets must be worn after September 3rd, 1996. ^cycling m m _Road i Sense I 94 As a weather-wimp cyclist, I spent most of my winters taking bc Transit to ubc. The University is the second-largest transit destination in the Lower Mainland after downtown, so there is certainly no shortage o{ bus routes to ponder. On any weekday, you may have the choice of the #4, #9, #10, #14, #25, #41, #42, and #49, as well as any number of limited-run or express buses which can bring you from places as diverse as Metrotown and the hills of West Vancouver. All of them drop you off mere steps from sub, where you can get a pretty decent coffee before you go to class. If you live sufficiently far away to be taking the SkyTrain on part of your route, nearly any bus which isn't painted blue (ie the West Van types) will connect you to the rapid transit line. Among the fastest if you live in East Vancouver or beyond are the #25 Brentwood and the #31 Broadway Station (when it runs). Sometime in 1989, after driving to ubc for almost three years, I discovered that, a) it's really expensive, b) parking sucks, and c) if you just pulled an all-nighter, it's a lot more practical to sleep on the bus than at the wheel of your car. When you do all the calculations, it's hard to imagine how much more expensive you could make a commute to ubc, save hiring a limo to drop you off every morning. Nevertheless, cars are fast and desperately convenient despite the expense. You'll find yourself doing a lot of that walking I mentioned earlier if you park in B-lot, though. The other parkades have limited space and cost major bucks to use. So, no matter what, you'll save a lot of money (and maybe get some preferential parking) if you carpool with others. Call Parking & Security Services at 822-2222 to find out more about the perks for carpoolers. And then if you're nodding off after an all- nighter, one of your passengers can whack you upside the head. Derek K.

It is most often applied to forced sexual intercourse, but it also applies to your being touched, pinched, or kissed without your consent. Sexual assault is often used interchangeably with "rape", but this is incorrect, as the latter term applies only to forced penetration. This is an important distinction. Sexual assault is a much broader term; it comprises rape and every other form of sexual violation. Sexual assault is a crime, and can carry a prison term o{ up to a decade. The decision to commit "aggravated" sexual assault can lead to life in prison. Sexual assault can be and is committed against a member of either sex. The vast majority of sexual assaults, however, are committed by men against women or children. WHY SHOULD I READ THIS ARTICLE? Sexual assault affects everyone. If you're a man, you have the responsibility not to commit sexual assault, to educate yourself and your friends about the issue, to speak out against offenders (no matter how good a friend he is), and to not tolerate jokes about sexual assault. If you're a woman, you should know your rights and In this article be able to recognize a sexual assault when it happens. A definition why are women sexually assaulted? A section for women Many people believe that a woman who has been ' . f sexually assaulted "asked for it" by dressing provoca- f A SeCt,°? ,0r men (women, read this too) 102 tively, flirting, being out alone at night, or getting drunk or stoned. The truth? Women never ask to be sexually assaulted. Women may dress provocatively, flirt, are out alone at night, and get drunk or stoned, but don't ask to be sexually assaulted. To blame a woman for being assaulted is to forget that the criminal alone is responsible for his actions. A man who has committed sexual assault could have controlled himself; he deliberately chose not to. A better question to ask is "Why do some men sexually assault women?" OKAY. WHY DO SOME MEN SEXUALLY ASSAULT WOMEN? Most people have an image in their minds of what a "rapist" looks like: sick, frustrated, crazed, psychotic, dirty. Most often, however, women are sexually assaulted by men they already know. He could be a boyfriend, a husband, a friend, a casual date, an uncle, an employer... he could be anyone. Men who commit sexual assault are not necessarily psychotic or deviant; they are men who want to dominate and control women. These men cannot be picked out in a crowd. In fact, they are often friendly, attractive and popular. i'm a man, and i'd never intentionally sexually assault a woman. what can i do? You should make sure you're familiar with the definition and range of sexual assault. Behaviour that you might define as simply "taking charge" could constitute sexual assault if you don't know what it is. Always seek out a woman's consent for sex—even if she's your girlfriend or wife—instead of assuming she's willing. If you're not comfortable with asking her, you aren't ready for a sexual relationship with her. Always assume a woman is saying "no" unless she actually says "yes" and is capable of meaning it. From a legal standpoint, consent cannot be given under the influence of alcohol, drugs or coercion. It doesn't matter who she is—a first date, your wife, your girlfriend, or a one-night stand—always ask before you act. Don't joke about sexual assault. When somebody else cracks a joke, let them know it's not a laughing matter. If a female friend has been assaulted, start with listening to her and believing her. You can volunteer with Vancouver Rape Relief & Women's Shelter (872-8212), or with the AMS's Safe Walk prgram (822-5355). One of the simplest, most effective things you can do is educate other people about what sexual assault actually is. You'd be sur- , prised how many people don't know. A MESSAGE FOR WOMEN (WHICH MEN SHOULD READ A list of important TOO \ phone numbers can be found at the end of the ^o one has the right to touch you sexually without Safety article (page 108) y°ur consent. This means no kissing, no pinching, no "copping a feel," and no vaginal, anal or oral sex without your explicit permission. It's your body; you have the right to grant and refuse anyone permission to touch it sexually, and the right to have your wishes respected. You shouldn't have to worry about protecting yourself, but there are precautions you can take to increase your personal safety: Don't assume others know how you feel. Speak up and make your feelings clear. If you feel uneasy about a relationship, there's probably a good reason. If you suspect the relationship may turn abusive, tell someone who can help. Never leave a friend alone with a date if you know she's too intoxicated to realize what she's doing. If you are assaulted, seek out someone who will listen, believe, and support you. This article has been reprinted by request from the 1994 Inside UBC, originally due to the efforts of many people, including the AMS Women's Centre, Marsha Trew and Sarah Dench of the Women Students' Office, and WAVAWfor writing much of it in the first place. Special thanks to Sarah and Tamalyn for giving advice and comments on everything I sent them. 103 3 5 104 Discrimination and harassment. >•••••• Over the last two years, ubc has implemented a policy on discrimination and harassment through the ubc Equity Office (822-6353). Offences covered by this policy are punishable under human rights legislation and under the University's disciplinary policies. WHAT IS "DISCRIMINATION AND HARASSMENT?" This refers to both intentional and unintentional behavior adversely affecting individuals or groups on the basis of characteristics defined by the 1992 bc Human Rights Act. for which there is no reasonable justification. Defined characteristics include age, race, color, ancestry, place of origin, political belief, religion, marital status, family status, physical or mental disability, sex, sexual orientation, and unrelated criminal convictions. WHAT IS "SEXUAL HARASSMENT?" Any unwelcome or unwanted sexual attention—whether verbal or physical—is sexual harassment. So are lewd gestures, leering at another's body, suggestive language or comments, requests for sexual "favours," sexual "blackmail," comments or jokes about another's sexual orientation, and sexual assault. It can be committed by someone in a position of authority, or it can occur between people of equal status. WHAT SHOULD I DO IF l'M BEING SEXUALLY HARASSED? The problem won't go away by itself, so ignoring it is not the solution. If you feel safe enough to do so, tell your harasser very firmly that his or her behaviour is offensive. Some people simply do not realize that their actions aren't welcomed, and are surprised to learn that they constitute sexual harassment. If your situation cannot be dealt with amongst the parties involved then the policy comes into play. HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS Under the policy, University department heads are responsible for listening to and acting upon complaints relating to the policy which involve the people under them. You can talk confidentially to them, or speak directly to an Equity Advisor at the Equity Office. Equity Advisors can act on complaints, or simply listen and advise. However, if a complaint is serious enough (assault or sexual assault), Equity Advisors may be constrained to dis- A list of important close information and act on the complaint even if it phone numbers can be is against the complainant's wishes. If you make a found at the end of the complaint and you wish it to be pursued, an informal Safety article (page 108) resolution and/or mediation will first be tried. If these fail it may go to a formal investigation. AN EXAMPLE Rachel started a new position with a small department and was the only woman there. During her interview she was told that the work atmosphere tended to be "relaxed" and "informal" and a sense of humor would be an asset. Rachel wasn't afraid of much and took the job assuming she could handle whatever weirdness happened to come her way. At first the place seemed very pleasant. All the guys were very nice and everyone was always joking around and having a good time. Her supervisor, Joe, was quite a character. He was always making gross jokes and seemed to be a bit of a pig, but a tolerable one. After a couple weeks, Rachel settled in and things seemed fairly casual. Unfortunately things didn't stay that way. One of the hardest things about harassment is judging when something stops being simply annoying and becomes deliberate harassment. Rachel's situation eventually started to deteriorate. The gross jokes and sexual trash started to take on a unpleasant flavor. What used to be jokes started to turn into insults and sexual slurs. Joe no longer cared whether Rachel found the behavior funny and became to enjoy her discomfort. The constant moronic behavior began to give Rachel headaches and she found herself continuously in a bad mood that was only relieved by the weekend. Rachel should have gone to see an Equity Advisor who would have counseled her on what she could do to improve her situation. If you're having serious problems with people you work with on campus, there are people who will help you with it. Remember, no one has the right to treat you like crap. Robert Coenen is a PH.D student in Electrical Engineering and occasionally writes for the UBC Graduate student newspaper. He has also served on the President's Advisory Committee on harassment and discrimination. For the benefit of those readers who happen to be his supervisor, he spends all his free time on his research. Really. For more information, contact the UBC Equity Office (822-6353) 105 m D > Z z If!

Where do you go if you've only got six months to live? 109 It is almost impossible to go through a month—let alone an entire school year—without getting some sort of debilitating or degrading ailment. For most healthy, relaxed and well-rested, individuals, a mild staphylococcus infection, cold or muscle discomfort is nothing more than an inconvenience. However, for most university students, physical impairments can greatly hinder academic performance and social intercourse. I remember a particularly unpleasant phase of my own early university life, when I endured a cold that lasted from September until the completion of my finals in April. Most individuals can find cold relief by drinking fluids, obtaining lots of sleep and maximizing comfort. Unfortunately, though, in my case, good health was returned only when I resumed eating protein-rich food (Lewis Vending is not a fifth food group), dropped all my classes and stopped seeing people for several weeks. Hopefully, most students won't have to endure the discomfort and inconvenience of such a seemingly incurable upper respiratory tract infection. If you do happen to get sick, though, it is important to know about some of the campus health services which are available. STUDENT HEALTH SERVICE (sHs) Located on the main floor of the University Hospital's Acute Care Unit, this is where students can get medical treatment, immunizations, and consultations as needed. Medical and nursing staff are available Monday to Friday from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, (opens at 8:45 on Thursdays) and several physicians have set aside office hours for student visits. Remember, you should have medical insurance regardless of your age, health status, or country of origin. Students over 25 years of age or from outside of bc should pick up an application form and information about private medical insurance from shs staff. If medical certificates are needed for academic purposes, shs serves as the official campus agency for such documentation. As such, they should be notified about any serious or extended health problems. Further information about the services shs provides can be obtained by calling 822-7011. An important rule when visiting the shs offices is never to ask someone in the waiting area (usually your ex-lover or your present lover's closest drinking D 5 > Z mm m m In this article Student Health Services Family Practice Unit Emergency Massage Clinic 110 buddy, in accordance with Murphy's Law) why he's come in for treatment. If he's pulled his hamstring competing twice in the Ironman division of Storm the Wall, you'll find out as soon as you're within earshot. Rest assured, though, if the person next to you refuses to stop reading a 1987 Macleans article on Mila Mulroney's new haircut, he/she is suffering from a) painful hemorrhoids, b) massive drainage from a festering boil, or c) cheese-like phlegm production. Whatever the reason, you don't really want to know, so just cover your mouth and keep your distance. SCHOOL OF MEDICINE FAMILY PRACTICE UNIT This is another convenient facility for all students and local residents to use if they are sick or injured, located at 5804 Fairview Avenue. This site, which is labelled the Mather Building on most campus maps, is operated by the School of Medicine's Department of Family Practice. Medical graduates are on call 24 hours a day throughout the year, and appointments for visits can be made by calling 822-5431. Keep in mind, though, that most of the Family Practice Unit's clientele consists of pediatric patients living with their parents in Acadia Park. I accompanied a friend with an ear infection to the facility's waiting area, I had two toddlers chomp on my left leg for several moments. While this display of affection boosted my self- esteem and rejuvenated my maternal instincts, I have yet to find a way to remove the drool. MASSAGE THERAPY CLINIC Although you might be looking for a Swedish massage for uhh... personal reasons, the Western Sports Massage Clinic at the Aquatic Centre is available via appointment (822-0860). With a physician's referral, the massage is covered under the bc Medical Service Plan, and can be used to treat everything from headaches and insomnia to a whole selection of medical-sounding terms like fibromyalgia.

CHLAMYDIA Chlamydia can cause sterility if left untreated. Symptoms usually appear ten to twenty days after contact with an infected person, but some people who have chlamydia don't show any symptoms at all. Symptoms: in females, symptoms include a raw, red area on the cervix, a pain in the abdomen which is often accompanied by fever and chills, and a burning sensation while urinating. In males, symptoms include a watery or milky drip from the penis, an itchy feeling inside the penis, a burning feeling while urinating, and pain or swelling of the testicles. Method of transmission: vaginal, anal, or oral sex with an infected person. Treatment: A course of antibiotics usually takes care of it, but there is a possibility of spontaneous recurrence. CONDYLOMATA (GENITAL WARTS) These are very similar to ordinary skin warts. Symptoms: Genital warts appear as tiny pink, red, or grey bumps in the genital area. They will appear from two weeks to eight months after contact with an infected partner. If not treated, they can get bigger, and can grow together to from cauliflower-like masses. Usually they are painless, but they can be itchy or painful during intercourse. There is a link between genital warts and cervical, penile, and anal cancers. Method of transmission: vaginal, anal, or oral sex with an infected person. Treatment: Freezing or laser surgery may remove the warts, but the virus that causes them stays in your system and can recur at another time. HERPES Herpes is a highly contagious virus that causes painful sores on and around the genitals, or around the mouth if contracted through oral sex. It is not a serious problem for most people, but the virus can be passed on from a mother to her baby. Symptoms: Type i is characterized by cold sores, fevers, and blis- ters on the lips, face, and mouth. Type 2 involves sores in the genital area. There is some crossover due to oral-genital sex. Method of transmission: vaginal, anal, or oral sex with an infected person (direct contact with open sores). Treatment: The sores can be treated with antibiotics, but the virus stays in your system HEPATITIS b This is an viral infection of the liver. Symptoms: This is the most serious of the hepatitis infections. It can cause liver cancer and/or liver disease. When the symptoms are visible at all, they usually appear two to six months after contact. They can include: poor appetite, nausea, and vomiting; headaches; yellowing of the eyes and skin (jaundice); dark coloured urine. Method of transmission: contact with infected blood or saliva, or vaginal, anal, or oral sex with an infected person. Treatment: there is no cure, but treatment involves rest and a healthy diet. There is a vaccine for Hepatitis B. GONORRHEA Also known as "the clap." Left untreated, it can cause sterility and chronic joint pain in men and women, and tubal pregnancy (possibly leading to serious internal bleeding) in women. Symptoms: 80% of all cases have no symptoms. When symptoms do appear, they will appear within three to five days of contracting gonorrhea. In females, symptoms include a new or different vaginal discharge, a burning feeling while urinating, pain in the abdomen, and pain during sex. In males, symptoms include a thick, creamy yellow-green discharge from the penis, a burning sensation while urinating, and pain or swelling of the testicles. Methods of transmission: vaginal, anal, or oral sex with an infected person. Treatment: a course of antibiotics, although some strains of gonorrhoea have become resistant to antibiotics. 113 0 > I I n b 20-50% OFF EVERYDAY!

What is the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act? It is a piece of provincial legislation passed in November of 1994 to protect your privacy. "The purpose of this Act [is] to make public bodies more accountable to the public." How does this legislation affect you at ubc? housing According to Bob Frampton, the Assistant Director of Residence Administration, the student holds the "key." It is completely up to individual students whether personal information, such as their name and address, is given out to friends or parents by Housing employees. The Housing Department does not have any problems with this Act since they firmly believe that students' privacy has to be protected. However, the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act does produce barriers. A student's name and address will not be given out to anyone outside the University community. If, for example, there is a family emergency and the student's family does not know where on campus he or she is living, the Housing Department cannot release the student's personal information without his or her written consent. This is only one example of a problem the Act produces for students and their families. However, according to the 1996-97 Winter Session Residence Contract, students' personal information will only be used for the purposes of the Housing Department, but may be also given to other University departments. registrar's office For obvious reasons, they do not release any information to anyone (even your parents!) except to you, the student. The Act has only made this policy more firm. In addition, Maureen Elliott, the Administrative Supervisor of Records and Registration, suggested for increased students' privacy, a student should change his or her telereg pin number often. Presently, some professors post marks by student number after a quiz or exam. However, student numbers are identifiable. Some students do not like having their marks posted and ubc is sensitive to this issue. The University, through the office of Libby Nason, the Vice-Provost, is trying to find a way for professors to post marks that are not identifiable. Unfortunately, a solution has not been reached yet. ubc's goal is for student access of marks to be easier. Administration is trying to find a solution before the beginning of the 1996-97 Winter Session. The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act is an evolving piece of legislation. It allows students to exercise their right to privacy. Under Section 2(1 )(d), students now have the legal right to "[prevent] the unauthorized collection, use, or disclosure of personal information by public bodies." Chris Gorman is a Senator-at-large. He would like to thank Bob Frampton, Maureen Elliott, Libby Nason, and Frances Medley, Assistant Secretary of Senate, for their cooperation and support of this article. ■ 115 They're not clubs, or services...

Invisibility is not something relegated to college chemistry accidents or mad scientists in b-movies. For many people, an estimated ten percent, invisibility is a daily reality to contend with. These people are lesbians, gays and bisexuals. This article is about an everyday struggle for visibility. closet /'klawzit/ n. i A word used by heterosexuals to define a place for hanging clothes to gather dust (my jacket is in the closet). 2 An unseen, unheard space for warehousing a life (...). The closet is where we all start. The assumption that everyone is heterosexual puts us there. Lesbians, gays and bisexuals are born into a world that assumes heterosexuality. The images presented to us by television programs, advertising and our schools are heterosexual. Role models for us are scarce, non-existent or negative. This creates the closet. The closet is a place of isolation. It is where we live in the shadow of heterosexuality, unable to communicate our reality with others. We live in fear of ourselves, with the homophobia we have internalized, and in fear of discovery, powerless to (| speak out when we are insulted by homophobic remarks or attacks. . In the closet, we are invalidated. " out lautl adv. & n. —adv. 1 A dull, everyday word used by heterosexuals to denote absence from the home, usually apologized for (Sorry, (j they're out. Could I take a message?). —n. 2 A state of being open about one's sexuality (are you out?). Being out affords us self-respect. It allows us to defend ourselves from insults and attacks. It allows us to communicate with each other and educate others. It allows us to be who we are. Being out is holding hands on the street, dancing together, kissing, talking in dark corners of cafes, having dinner, phoning each other at work, laughing with each other and all the "acts" heterosexuals take for granted. (( This can often result in harassment. j Lesbians, gays or bisexuals who are out are frequently accused of "flaunting it." By this heterosexuals mean talking about our sex " lives or who we are seeing and publicly exhibiting our sexuality. | However, heterosexuals flaunt their sexuality by wearing engagement and wedding rings, walking around hand in hand, kissing in { public and discussing their dates from the night before. This contra- . diction has yet to be recognized. ' Contradictions like this, and overt homophobia, can make being % out difficult. g As lesbians, gays and bisexuals we have had to deal with "the backlash" whenever we speak out. It is nothing new. The feeling that you 'd much rather crawl back into your closet is always there. It seems easier on many occasions to not say anything and make awkward social situations easier. Sometimes it is just too early in the morning to deal with it. Out is never the conceptual place that the closet is, rather it is a process. coming out I'kuhming aut/ v. i A phrase used by heterosexuals to refer to leaving a place (will you be coming out of the bathroom?). 2 A continual process of moving from the closet to being out, acting against invisibility (coming out allowed me to be proud of who 1 am). Coming out, the act of acknowledging your sexuality, is not something that can be done and is then over. It takes time and it never really ends. When you have come out to your family and your friends, someone new will appear. Each new acquaintance, co-worker, classmate and teacher is a coming out experience. Coming out means dealing with the complexity of your relationships. It can also mean losing them. Families can be the hardest part of this. Fortunately, it doesn't have to happen all at once. You can come out to people selectively as you feel more comfortable and able to deal with the stress of opening up. As you feel more comfortable with expressing your sexuality, with being visible and being proud it will become easier. Paul Day son originally wrote this piece for the 1991/92 Inside UBC. Since then, it has made regular appearances in this daytimer over the years: it's superbly written and deals with a challenging issue in a straightforward way. If it wasn't for Paul's article, this topic wouldn't have been covered at all - how do you write about an issue like this if you're not gay, lesbian or bisexual, and can't find a willing writer who is?

Love ya, sweetheart. Ryan McCuaig for first giving me a chance to see my writing in print and bringing me a hot chocolate the night before this beast went to press. Faye for insightful comments and discussion, and David for just letting me do the book without any interference. Lyanne for selling so many ads that this book doesn't cost you a cent, and all the other staff who were so supportive of this project. Matt and Laura for being the coolest office roomies ever, and for just handing me my coffee mug in the morning instead of saying hello first. You'll never find your pen, Matt. Hah! Kudos to all the contributors, too. Thanks are also due to Matt (again), Faye (again), Ryan, Jennie, David, Lica and Allison for reading this book cover to cover and catching the majority of my typos and factual errors. I don't want to forget Joseph Cohen at Kromar for his patience and skill in getting this book to its finished form. Of course, I'm writing this before that happens, so if Kromar fucks up the impositions, I'll retract my thanks. Also, thanks to the folks at sus for staying friends with me despite 2 years of grouchi- ness. Special thanks to everyone involved, past or present, with The 432, most of whom ended up in this book anyways, for providing so many laughs over the years. For your info, virtually every 432 editor's also had a crack at this project. I think that says something, although I have no idea what. published by Alma Mater Society of the University of British Columbia Reprint of selected material permitted provided credit is given Inside UBC g6.
