But tonight, we come together only to produce a fiscally responsible four page leaflet. The Ubyssey Student Newspaper must contain 40 per cent advertising in order to be "fiscally responsible." In other words, a 40 per cent ad content will cover the printing cost of this newspaper. Tonight, that means running four pages. Thus we have renamed ourselves, for this issue, The Ubyssey Student Leaflet. If we had run eight pages of newsprint we would have only been at 23 per cent ads, going approximately $700 over budget. During this term we have run two papers with about one- quarter ads. This bas been an oversight on the part of the editorial collective. For the past two years, The Ubyssey has run high percentages of ads in some papers in order to be able to save up money for special issues or when there are lot of articles to go in the paper. ThisyearThe Ubyssey has not had the opportunity to save up ad money because fewer ads have been made available to the paper. As our publisher, the AMS is responsible for soliciting our advertising. The more ads that are solicited, the more pages that can be run, the greater the student voice can be on campus. Those ads have not been forthcoming. For whatever reason, the ad sales have been way down all year. And, since yesterday was our ad representative's last day, ads were particularly low for this issue. Therefore, we are now limited to printing eight-page and tonight, four-page fiscally responsible micropapers. For the past two issues, we have had to hold writers' stories for later publication. This is a problem because it takes away the incentive to produce good quality copy. Tonight, wehave been forced to hold an entire issue: ironically, this leaflet should have been a special issue focussing on the role of media in our society. A lot of work goes into producing a special issue and all this energy has been lost. Our production chalkboard is filled with stories, art work, and photographs. New and old staffers have invested longhours researching, interviewing, photographing, developing, drawing, cutting and pasting. We do not like our current situation. As a student's newspaper, The Ubyssey encourages all students to partake in the journalism experience. We want to be able to print the work of all our writers, our photogs, our graphic artists, experienced and inexperienced. The energy of volunteers is what keeps this paper up and running. It is extremely hard to keep this energy at a high level, or even keep new volunteers interested, when we have to hold copy and photos and can't produce the quality we would otherwise be capable of producing. The result is a downward spiral in quality, SIOBHAN ROANTREE PHOTO reader interest and future ad revenue. It adds up to a disaster for The Ubyssey. For students, it could be the loss of another opportunity to learn the skills or gain the experience that we can pick up only at a student newspaper. In light of the current financial dilemma that the paper is in, The Ubyssey needs support more than ever. Students must get involved in running every aspect of this newspaper. The Ubyssey should exist to provide students with an opportunity to learn all aspects of running a newspaper. Get involved, become a part ofthe solution. This is your newspaper, after all. Student groups protest Campus Times by Lucho van Isschot The Campus Times is under fire. The UBC New Democrats, the International Socialists and UBC Students for Choice are holding a rally today to protest The Times' recent publication of an advertisement for Holocaust denier David Irving. The ad in the October 27 edition of The Times announced an appearance in Vancouver by Davi d Irving, a British neo-fascist lecturer. Irving promotes the beliefs that the Holocaust has been exaggerated, that Hitler did not personally order the extermination of Jewish people during WWII, and that Auschwitz was built after the war as a "tourist attraction." Irving is being deported from Canada and has been refused entry into the United States. David Black, a representative of UBCs New Democrats, was angry that the ad ran in The Times, and has helped to organize today's protest. "It is interesting that South African president DeKlerk won't let David Irving into the country, but The Campus Times thinks it is ail right and that this guy's opinion should be heard," Black said. "Thisrallyistolet people know that The Campus Times doesn't represent the students, as they say they do," Black said. "Aaron Drake, who has read about David Irving, and knows what he's all about, still ran the ad." "We're just trying to let the students know what The Campus Times is all about. They .try to come off as objective, but they aren't objective at all—they're quite right wing. "There is a certain responsibility which comes with being a member ofthe press, and I think he went well beyond the bounds of that," Black said. "If Drake had said that he didnt know who Irving was, and he ran the ad just because someone came in and paid for it, well that's stupid. We can excuse stupidity," Black said. "But he freely states that he has read Irving's book. So he knows what David Irving is about. By running that ad, Aaron Drake made his own judgement that what David Irving has to say should be heard by students." Aaron Drake, editor-in-chief of The Campus Times admits that The Times made a mistake. "In retrospect, it was pretty poor judgement on our part," Drake said. "We aren't claiming ignorance. Ifs not justifiable," he said. "We are taking complete responsibility for what we did. Ignorance is not an excuse." Drake is not surprised that his paper is being criticized for having published the ad. And he believes that the criticisms are justifiable. "They're perfectlyjustifiedfor being upset. Fll be happy to show up at the rally and apologize," he said. Drake said that he has already extended his apologies, on behalf of The Times, to Zac Kaye, executive director of Hillel House. "As far as I know he was satisfied [with our apology]. They were quite disappointed with us for what we did—which is understandable." But protesting groups are still concerned about the ad. "I think that ifs a positive development that The Campus Times has apologized, but this is much more serious than a simple typographical error," said David Joffe of the International Socialists. "They [The Campus Times] have had a pretty reactionary stance on most issues at UBC starting with the strike. Ifs good that they have decided to come out against the fascists, but people on campus should realize that many of [The Times'] arguments about the rights of women, lesbians and gays, and minority groups have helped to create an atmosphere in which the ideas of people like Irving can take hold," Joffe said. "The fact that the Nazis are trying to advertise on campus is a reminder to all progressive groups on campus that we have to be ready to take on all of their racist and anti-Semitic arguments, and not let them have a platform at UBC." The rally is scheduled to take place today at 12:30 on the south side of the SUB plaza. Members of CIAU field hockey teams from New Brunswick, Toronto, Alberta, York and Victoria gathered at War Memorial Gym on Thursday afternoon for a welcoming ceremony as UBC hosts the CIAU Championships this weekend at Eric Hamber.
