OUR CAMPUS ONE ON ONE WITH THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE UBC David Wilson has coached the UBC wrestling team since 2006. JOSH CURRAN PHOTO/THE UBYSSEY Wilson pins down wrestling at UBC Raul Arambula Contributor UBC wrestling coach David Wilson's first foray into sports was playing goalie for his junior high school's hockey team in Springhill, Nova Scotia. He quickly earned the nickname "Red Light," because whenever the opposing team would score a goal, a red light above the net would blink on. "Once you get a nickname like Red Light, that's when you know that hockey is not for you," said Wilson. Instead, Wilson moved on to the school's wrestling team. In the beginning, he said, he was not really good at the sport. He considered himself a "creative and unorthodox wrestler. They would show me a move, and I would just make it my own." It wasn't until high school that he met good coaches who introduced him to the art — and technique — of wrestling. "I started to love wrestling ... and technique," he said. "I loved doing a move that no body else was thinking." He quickly excelled in the sport, and after graduating from high school, he was one of Atlantic Canada's top young wrestlers. Wilson was recruited by Concordia University, where he joined the Montreal Wrestling Club. In the years that followed, he wrestled under the tutelage of renowned wrestling coach Dr. Victor Zilberman and trained alongside Olympic medalists. Despite his love ofthe sport, Wilson admitted the wrestling world is brutal. "Many quit after high school. There's no money on this. There's no dream to play professionally. You can dream to go to the Olympics, which only handfuls actually get to go." In 2006, Wilson came to UBC and volunteered to become a wrestling coach. He was the one who single-handedly started the university's wrestling program. "I made it into a club. We practiced and received support from parents. We had a small budget and we went from there." In the years that followed, Wilson has worked to establish the club as an official UBC varsity team. There have been plenty of negotiations, but he has seen no concrete results. "They never saw wrestling as part of a roster of sports," he said. "We lobbied with them about wrestling and we've been doing that since I've been on board." Under his guidance, the Wrestling Club has become a centre for student wrestlers from countries around the world, including Japan and Argentina. Wilson even invites his Olympic class friends to teach his students some moves and skills. Wilson emphasized that wrestling teaches far-reaching skills. He motivates his pupils daily to work hard and not give up. "If you excel on the mat, you can excel off the mat." Xi l.

UBC is lending to a part of itself and requiring a highly profitable return." REFERENCE •DATA:STUDENTHOUSINGREPORT.ALMAMATER SOCIETY2012,UBCINSIDERS COLLYNCHANGRAPHIC/THE UBYSSEY Interest-free loans for faculty, admin total $11.8 million Arno Rosenfeld StaffWriter UBC's practice of offering interest-free housing loans to recruit select faculty is more widespread than previously known, according to information obtained through the Freedom of Information Act. The university currently has outstanding personal loans totalling $11.8 million offered to administrators and top-level faculty. The Ubyssey has also learned that the loans, administered by the UBC Treasury and referred to as "interest-free" by human resources, do in fact have interest charged on them. UBC Treasurer Peter Smailes said that the faculty ofthe individual given the loan picks up the tab for interest. "We don't charge the individual, but the actual faculty pays for it," Smailes said. For example, inthe case of university librarian Ingrid Parent, the UBC Library pays the interest on NEWS BRIEFS Man missing from UBC hospital found Cory Krushell, a 21-year-old patient at UBC Hospital, was found on Tuesday after he went missing for three days. Krushell disappeared after he left the hospital for a walk last Saturday night. He was found Tuesday when a Coast Mountain Bus Company driver recognized him at the UBC bus loop around 8 a.m. According to Sgt. Peter Thiessen ofthe RCMP, it appears Krushell went to Surrey and back, but details of his trip are unknown. "At this point we haven't been able to determine where exactly he went and why. He required some medical attention first," Thiessen said. UBC graduate may have violated probation for Stanley Cup riot UBC graduate Camille Cacnio has been accused of violating the terms of her probation for participating in the Vancouver Stanley Cup riot. Cacnio was sentenced to two years of probation for participating in a riot. Cacnio was caught on camera taking men's clothing from Black and Lee Formal Wear on Jan. 15,2011. Hersentence included 150 hours of community service and a 10 p.m. curfew. Cacnio has a court date scheduled for Jan. 14. Xi her $600,000 housing loan. Parent is tied for the largest loan with Sauder School of Business Dean Robert Helsley, whose faculty is also paying the interest on his loan. UBC defends the practice of offering the loans, currently numbering 47, as common among top universities and essential for attracting quality professors and administrators to Vancouver. "Because ofthe cost of housing in Vancouver, UBC would be unable to recruit outstanding faculty without some kind of housing assistance," Vice-President Human Resources Lisa Castle said in a December interview. Offering interest-free loans is not a common practice in recruiting employees inthe private sector, accordingto Denise Baker, associate dean ofthe Sauder School of Business and an expert in recruitment. "I am not aware of very many companies who offer interest-free loans," Baker said. "If it does hap- MEDICINE» pen, it is at the very high executive level and would be negotiated and not standard practice." Other universities in Canada vary in their approach to offering loans to their faculty. Simon Fraser University has a process for offering subsidized loans to their faculty. But DougThorpe-Doward, SFU's director of academic relations, did not comment on whether SFU offered any interest-free loans inthe model of UBC's executive loan program. Dawn Palmer, associate vice-president of human resources at Langara College, said she was unaware of any such loans being offered to Langara faculty. However, Palmer noted that in her previous human resources job at Provincial Health, the hospital she worked for offered such loans to attract doctors to Vancouver. A spokesperson for the University of Toronto said in a written statement, "Some of our divisions may use [interest-free loans] as a re cruitment tool." The spokesperson added, "It is not a program run centrally at the university." AMS VP Academic and University Affairs Kiran Mahal said the university needs to get creative to make housing more affordable for students, not just faculty and administrators. A great deal ofthe rent students pay for housing on campus is used to pay interest on money loaned from the UBC Endowment to UBC Housing. Mahal said that the university could save students a significant amount of money on rent if the university cut the interest rate for student housing. "The same consideration needs to be given to students.... We face exactly the same constraints ofthe Vancouver housing market... and don't have as high earning potential as these top-level administrators. So it's time for the university to look at student housing the same way," said Mahal, a —With files from Neal Yonson Health-related programs to integrate Ming Wong Senior News Writer Dietetics and dentistry may not have much in common at first glance — but that's about to change at UBC. The university is working to integrate a wide variety of health-related disciplines, from nutrition to kinesiology to nursing to medicine. "What we really want to do is to have people in health professions work together, train together, do research together," said Hugh Brock, associate provost of academic innovation. UBC's goal is to have a model that reflects the global trend of patient-focused health care. Instead of having patients be treated by different health professionals for separate diagnoses, the patient would be treated in one spot by a team. The buzzword is "interprofessional," and UBC wants that idea to be prominent in its health-related education, practice and research. The basic structure of all the faculties will remain the same. But the Schools of Nursing and Kinesiology will be moved out of the Faculties of Applied Sciences and Education to undetermined locations. Other changes include a joint admissions office for the health professions and streamlining services such as IT and human resources. "Medicine, dentistry, pharmacy — we teach similar courses. We do research in similar areas," said Chuck Shuler, dean ofthe Faculty of Dentistry. "The concept is how can we get all these people who are now separated by... faculty type barrierfs], how can we get them talking together and be productive." Shuler sees potential in Dentistry collaborating with dietetics. "What you eat is probably related to how [many] cavities you have and things like that, and we don't have a good link to them [at the moment]." At one point, UBC considered a super-sized "Faculty of Health" for all disciplines. But Brock said that idea has been scrapped, with the university focusing on integration instead. Ideas currently being discussed include integrated teaching on topics such as ethics, collaborative research among different disciplines, and clinical placements with trainees. "I think that students can hope for a more coordinated approach to training future health care professionals," said Brock, putting emphasis on going out to the field in teams. Currently, the operating budget for the Faculty of Medicine is larger than all ofthe other health professional departments combined. Shuler isn't too worried that Dentistry and other smaller departments will be compromised, but he acknowledged that others might feel differently. "In an academic institution, you're always protecting your territory, like turf wars. So I think there probably are some [faculties] that are resisting, but at this point ... it's too early to say." Cindy Pan, a second-year pharmacy student, likes the idea of seeing more interprofessional practices within the health disciplines, but she said she's concerned that those practices may be happening too early for students who don't have enough depth in their studies. "One ofthe drawbacks of trying to encourage this collaboration so early on is that you don't know enough about your own profession and you don't know the boundaries of your own profession," she said. "I think that will be kind of cool, to get to know people from different faculties and stuff like that, and to get a different outlook on things," added first-year kinesiology student Claire Boothe. Brock said the announcement of the integration will be made later this month. He is hopeful it will be implemented by the summer. "There's pretty good consensus that health care ofthe future will be very different from health care of now, and UBC needs to move in that direction." Xi RSDAY, JANUARY 10, 201: SUSTAINABILITY » Forestry renames department to include word conservation VAN YASTREBOVFILE PHOJWHE UBYSSEY The Faculty of Forestry rebrands for greener image. Will McDonald News Editor A department in the Faculty of Forestry is giving itself a facelift. On Jan. 1, the department of forest science changed its name to the department of forest conservation science. Department head John Richardson said the name change reflects the department's focus over the last few years. Only three ofthe department's 20 faculty members have degrees in forestry. "Forest sciences itself kind of has the implication of thinking about growing trees better to have more trees cut down.... Very few of us are actually doing things like that," said Richardson. Conservation is usually considered to fall under other departments, such as biology, ecology and botany. But Dean of Forestry John Innes said the faculty plans to work with other disciplines rather than overlap. Innes added that the name change is related to the faculty's image as a whole. "The name change may increase the numbers of students who are interested in [conservation], because they don't necessarily find it when they are searching for potential courses at UBC," said Innes. "That's something we have been working on fairly carefully over the last three or four years, trying to ensure that people understand what we actually do." Innes said the changes toward sustainability were happening through the whole faculty, but Richardson said he didn't think the faculty as a whole would change its name to reference sustainability. "The world of forestry is just too big and it just didn't seem to fit for the faculty. But it does fit well for our department within Forestry," said Richardson. "I think there's just too much momentum.... I think that's going to just stay the way it is." Third-year kinesiology student David Bai thought the new name was a good idea. "Everybody wants to be green nowadays. Green has ceased to be just a colour and more of an adjective, so [it's] great for them," said Bai. Innes said the faculty continues to work on its perception in campus. "I'm hoping that the image we're conveying is one of stewardship of a finite resource. We are tryingto ... get over that we are concerned about sustainability and sustainable management of resources and we'd like to get over that we go well beyond forest," said Innes. Xi Culture ANNAZORIA URSDAY, JANU PERFORMANCE ART » Break the fourth wall at the AMS Art Gallery Film-influenced performance art pieces will be interactive, thought-provoking Rhys Edwards Senior Culture Writer The term "performance art" is much maligned, and little understood. It often conjures up confused, alienating imagery: rambling provocateurs reading poetry, smearing their bodies with a variety of liquids and injuring themselves while solemn-faced audiences look on. On Jan. 15, several visual arts students hope to change this preconception. In a Celluloid Garden, a special event held in the AMS Art Gallery, will feature a series of live performance art informed by the medium of film. A live screening of Stanley Kubrick's last film, Eyes Wide Shut, will follow. The event is open to the public. "We left it deliberately open so that it wouldn't be closed off or esoteric to people who just wanted to check out the gallery space," said Katherine Enns, a performer in the show and a fourth-year BFA student. "It's also kind of fun because no one that I know of really knows what performance art is. It's a really vague definition,... so it's kind of fun to give people that ability of, 'Here, this is what performance art is,' and expose them to that." Accordingto Olivia Dreisinger, a volunteer at the gallery and one ofthe performers inthe show, In a Celluloid Garden will expose the public to performance art and promote connections between In a Celluloid Garden will exhibit at the AMS various clubs and organizations on campus. "[We wanted to] foster an actual community on campus," remarked Dreisinger, who is a fourth-year English honours student. Although the artists come from different backgrounds and majors, they share a common experience: they all took VISA 390, the new performance art class inthe departments of art history and Art Gallery on Jan. 15. visual arts. UBC is one ofthe only institutions in Canada to offer this course at an undergraduate level. Now, In a Celluloid Garden will provide an opportunity for the artists to collaborate outside ofthe classroom and engage with the public.
