Ubyssey
Festering since 1918
\\ancouver, B.C., Friday, November 6,1992
Student
Leaflet
Vol 75, No 17
This is fiscal responsibility
Our production night is
fully staffed.
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.

Thunderbird defense as Coach

erything this team does." Returning from a year's absence because
of injuries are former All Canadians Penny Cooper and Leslie
Richardson. They will be providing support to starting rookies
Laura Prellwitz and Marnie
McComb.

theUbyssey
November 5th, 1992
The Ubyssey is published Tuesdays and Fridays by the Alma Mater Society of the University of British Columbia. Editorial
opinions are those ofthe staff and not necessarily those of the university administration, or of the sponsor. The editorial office
is room 241Kof the Student Union Building. Editorial Department phone 822-2301; advertising, 822-3977; FAX 822-9279.
The Ubyssey is a founding member of Canadian University Press
So Frances Foran told Swbhan Roantree that today was the first day of the rest of her lifeJ)oug Ferris exploded his myth all over the place, after which
Miranda Alldritt and San Martin collected the scattered debris which Philippe Tiemey attempted to put back together Amongst this chaos, Sam Green left
and got the vans while "small ellen -small p*ond just was, and Yuki Kurahashi i forgot While Lucho nnlsechat points out the trucking chest wound in Denise
Woodley's imagination and Paula Wellings firasxled Stan Somethingelse typed and muttered to Gumby while Lis up a tree came down to find Ted Young-Inf
posed for the center spread in the invisible twelve page paper so Martin Chester got fed upand went U>Uve airport with the guy from the Manitoban. Jim Conley
got real confused and tried to ait weld Dawn Mitchell to Helen Willoughby-Priee. Chaos reigned supreme and the Ubyssey was sponsored by the number five.
