What is the AMS? Glad you asked. The AMS is composed of all 30,000 or more students at UBC. It is the student society of UBC, here to represent and protect the interests of the students. It is here to make your student life a little easier, and a lot more rewarding. It is here because of you. The AMS is whatever you want it to be—you own it, you control it. Through elections every January, you elect the Executive and Council that control it; through referenda at the same time, you determine what new initiatives will be created. Your suggestions are encouraged and are acted upon. The Roles of the ams Student Services Communication The AMS will provide student services to assist students during their university career, which will enable each student to achieve his or her potential and will further the well-being of the student body as a whole. The AMS will communicate effectively with its membership, organizations, and staff, as well as the of the communities inside and outside of the University. The Society will ensure availability of established and innovative means for students to communicate their views and needs. What is the AMS?

Fast Trax Makes the Grade Using Fast Trax on BC Transit's multi-modal system makes travel to and from your college or university campus fast and easy. Best of all, there's no parking to consider. Many campus-bound routes are also wheelchair lift-equipped. And each time you use transit, you are helping to preserve our environment. Fast Trax - A Smart Move BC Transit's flexible fare system lets you pay as you go or pay in advance by using money-saving FareSavers or your monthly FareCard. When combined with your One Zone FareCard, BC Transit's Fast Trax strip is the smart choice. The strip attaches to your student I.D. and allows you to travel, one, two or three zones, for the one zone fare, on buses, SeaBus and SkyTrain. Fast Trax will also be valid for multi-zone savings on the new West Coast Express service, coming this November. West Coast Express fares provide free transfers to all connecting BC Transit buses, SkyTrain and SeaBus. Fast Trax Info on Campus The Fast Trax strip is available to all full-time public post-secondary students at your student union office.

Executive members are elected in January general elections. Remember, it's your Society and your money. Take an interest. Friends in High Places Logically, someone has to be in charge of the AMS.I mean, after all, it's not like this is a small organization. Every student at UBC is a member, the SUB is run by the AMS, heck, keeping an eye on all that must be some job. Ever wonder who it was that actually oversees all this? The AMS executive are responsible for the Society's general well being, and are generally run ragged trying to stay on top of things. The surprising thing really isn't how difficult their jobs are, but rather how many people want them—watching Executive elections in January is the major sporting event for student political hacks. You can find out more about them by contacting them in SUB: Janice Boyle, President 822-3972 president@ams.ubc.ca PRamiko Kunimoto, Vice-President 822-3092 vicepres@ams.ubc.ca Am Johal, Director of Administration 822-3961 admin@ams.ubc.ca Tara Ivanochko, Director of Finance 822-3973 finance@ams. ubc. ca David Borins, Coordinator of External Affairs 822-2050 external@ams. ubc. ca David: Borins AMS Executive 15 Janice Boyle President Since I'm six months into my third term as an AMS executive, I think I finally qualify for the status of hack. I will be starting the fifth year of my degree this fall, but I am technically still in third year (a phenomenon that exhibits a direct correlation with how long one remains in student politics). Through my varied and often tumultuous experiences here at UBC, I have come to a few conclusions that I would like to share with you, some of which are considered heresy by our prestigious UBc professors: Unless you want to go to grad school, marks are not that important. Don't forget that you come to University to get an education, not just a degree. It is difficult to fail out. You need a 60% average in 3 of 5 courses to pass. That's an overall average of 36%. You would have to miss most of your exams and never go to class. Not likely. Get involved. You will be a better person for it. Take the opportunity to take a variety of courses in several faculties. You will be more interesting at dinner parties. Don't get a crtedit card. Not one shred of eveidence supports the notinon that life is erious. Threat it accordingly. If you have any questions, concerns, comments, or issues that you would like to bring up with me, please don't hesitate. And remember, Tuum Est (It's up to you, or alternatively, Up yours.) Namiko Kunimoto Vice-President "There is no future without plastic, plastic, plastic" -Nomeansno My imagined ideal of a student union where wise and omniscient executives are able to communicate and comply with 30,000 wise and interested students (who really care about what happens to them as members of the Royal Alma Mater Society) may have faded somewhat since taking up this oversized office, but I still believe that with enough effort and espresso, the AMS can actually benefit us as students. My role as Vice-President is a lot more than simply pushing paper through a boundless, polluted ocean of red tape. This year we are planning a series of open-mikes in the newly renovated SUB Conversation Pit to try and thwart the demon of miscommunication. The execs will be there to clamor, to be questioned, and to demonstrate how we can fight for student issues on your behalf. As leaders of the society, we need to meet with the student body so we can all head in one direction together. Until then, let me tell you what my responsibilities are so that whenever you have a gripe about any one of them you can come up and tell me. As Vice-President University and Services, I am responsible for issues and actions within the University; as well as several useful, free student services whose basic mandate is to make your life easier. The services are student owned and operated - they are the student's solutions to student's problems. The services are: Joblink, the Ombudsoffice, Volunteer Services, Orientations, Speakeasy Peer Counselling and Information, Student Discounts, Safewalk, AMS Used Bookstore, Tutoring Services, and the Rentsline. I also Chair the University Commission which covers issues on campus such as Daycare, Housing, Safety, Academic Issues, and Transportation. If you are interested or concerned about any of these issues, or feel that an on-campus issue is being neglected, I'd love to see you around (give me a ring if you'd enjoy wrestling with J 16 AMS Executive the UBC administration) - I need all the help I can get. All of the organizations I've mentioned are at least pardy run on a volunteer basis; if you would like to get involved, come see me in SUB 248 or call 822-3092. Good luck for the school year, hope to hear from you soon. Tara Ivanochko Director of Finance As Director of Finance of the AMS, I was the lucky one to inherit the books this year. Lo and behold, the first thing I had to deal with was the financial mess left by those before: a mess equaling a $200,000 deficit. Because of this, the budgeting process this year has definitely been interesting but we have accomplished a great deal. In some ways we have pared back the AMS. I feel, however, that the fat cut away has left a student society more modest in its expenditures and just as effective in servicing the needs of students here at UBC. We will be funding programs that will make life here on campus much more interesting and far less frustrating. Our goal is to finally refocus the AMS back on its members, the students As well as my continual perusal of the ledgers I also have a few more responsibilities. As chair of the Finance Commission I assist clubs and constituencies with all their financial problems. The Commission is made up of five students eager to help you continue the activities of your clubs and constituencies. Irfan Dhalla is our Constituency Commissioner. He makes sure everything is running smoothly (financially) for the 30+ constituencies here at UBC. StephenYu, the Clubs Commissioner, will help the 200+ clubs in much the same way. Cynthia Wickstrom thinks of great, new and innovative ways for both clubs and constituencies to fundraise. She organizes the Pit coat check and Side Door fundraising. Tiffany Ho is the At-Large Commissioner. She helps out all around and takes on those requests that are slightly out of the ordinary. Last but not least, Lynn van Rijhn coordinates us all. She is the Vice Chair of the Commission. Lynn will welcome you all to the operations of the business office and make sure you all know what is going on. If you have any questions about how things were done last year or just inquiries come by the Finance Commission office, room 262 in the SUB, or give me a ring at 822-3973. We look forward to seeing you . Am Johal Director of Administration How am I supposed to make you care about the day-to-day drudgery of being Director of Administration. Surely I could entice you by mentioning the exciting lock changes I authorize and the parking passes I allocate with the mere signing of a memo, but I would prefer to let you remain in awe of the bureaucratic mystique of our beloved Alma Mater Society. One of the major projects we are undertaking this year is the referendum in January of 1996. The first question will be asking for a re-allocation of the $7 Athletic Fee to be divided amongst intramurals, WUSC refugee sponsorship, services, resource groups and AMS Programs. This referendum question will not go forward unless 1000 signatures are collected from the students of UBC. Please take the time to sign the petition. This re-allocation of funds is essential to maintain the level of service to the students of UBC. The AMS is not a business, and it should not be forced to operate like one. Faced with one of the lowest student fees in Canada and escalating costs that financially limit the Society's ability to be proactive, this re-allocation of funds looks to bring the AMS back to the students it represents. The second referendum question will ask for three dollars a year to be collected from students for a period of three years for the purposes of setting up an The Delly has a wide variety of Deli Sandwiches madefresh dcdlyThe most famous is the Fresh Chicken-Breast Sandwich.

The University will match students dollar for dollar up to $260,000. The interest from this Evelyn Lett Endowment Fund will be allocated to students with child-care needs in the form of bursaries. The AMS s inability to communicate its issues to the students it represents, and getting its membership out to vote, are the toughest hurdles which need to be overcome. By January, we will know if we have been successful in this endeavour. If you would like to get involved to help us achieve this goal, please stop by my office or give me a call. This campaign needs as many volunteers as it can get. Even if this is your first year at UBC, I personally encourage you to come forward and volunteer. Enjoy your time at UBC. Don't spend your entire time here in a classroom otherwise you will have denied yourself a true University experience. Take advantage of all the opportunities around you. Get involved and make a difference. David Borins Coordinator of External Affairs The Coordinator of External Affairs is responsible for relations with other student organizations, community outreach and public events, informing Council on provincial and federal education policies, lobbying the overseeing any student revolutions that may occur at UBC, and working with whatever national student association the AMS is a member of. What this really means is that I don't have to formally deal with any internal stuff in the student union and have a good excuse for making a lot of long distance telephone calls. As interesting as the work I do at the AMS may be, I believe that my activities leading up to my involvement with the AMS were more exciting. Before September 1994 I was not terribly involved with the AMS. For example, I thought it was despicable that a university should occupy such a large space in the basement of the SUB with a video arcade, clearly not grasping that the arcade is a student run operation that helps fund the activities of the AMS. I also did not realize that the restaurants in SUB were student owned and operated. The only reason I ended up learning about the finer points of the AMS (for example what the initials stand for) was because of the way that the decisions made by the organization began to personally affect me in a negative manner. On learning that I was a member of the AMS because the university collected $39.50 from me in membership fees per year, I decided that I, as a member of the society, had the right to fight for the things I wanted to see or not to see. For example, I wanted to see The Ubyssey newspaper printing again so I helped form the Freedom of Expression Action Coalition, an organization that actively protested the AMS s handling of newspaper. Again in November, when the AMS put the bylaws to the test, I found myself disagreeing and as a result protested the proposed bylaw changes. Because of the collective action of AMS members, The Ubyssey is now publishing again and the proposed bylaw changes have failed. There is now no doubt in my mind that through action and determination it is possible to make the changes that you want to see in your student union. Students can become involved with their student union and affect the change they want, in many cases rapidly. I sincerely hope that you will seize each opportunity this year to make the changes you want to see at your university, whether this means protesting an AMS policy, marching in The Trek for Education on October 13, participating in a referendum, or simply talking to a student representative and telling him or her the way you feel about an issue. Its your student union, so get involved and make it what you want it to be. 20 Referendum '96 In Search of Quorum A referendum is the method used by the Alma Mater Society (AMS) to determine whether students approve specific changes to the Society from its present form. It takes the form of a question that can be answered "yes" or "no". For example, the AMS must, by law, have a referendum in order to raise its fees or levy new fees for a special project. The Student Union Building (sub) and the UBC Aquatic Centre were financed this way. The AMS has not had a fee increase since 1982 and boasts one of the smallest student fees in the country. What's a "Quorum"? Quorum is the number of students who have to vote in favour of a referendum question, in order for the referendum question to pass. Once a referendum question passes, the results are legally binding on the AMS. That means the AMS has to implement whatever the referendum asked. Under the AMS's constitution, quorum is ten percent of the day student population (approximately 3000 students). In other words, about 3000 students must vote "yes" to a referendum question for that referendum to pass. To be quite frank, the AMS has not effectively catered to the student body to get them to vote. Hopefully this will change. Why are you telling me all this? In January 1996, the AMS will be holding two separate referenda questions. The first one will be on the re-allocation of the $7 Athletic Fee which students pay as part of their total $39.50 fee. It should be noted that students already pay a separate ancillary fee which subsidizes the Athletics Department. The proposal is to re-distribute the $7 fee in this manner: $1.50 increase to Intramurals - The amazing Nestor Korchinsky, Director of Intramurals, has created one of the best intramural programs in the world. This initiative has the participation of over eight thousand students. In order to continue its present service to students, additional funds are necessary. Referendum '96 21 $.50 increase to WUSC - World University Services Canada currently receive fifty cents from UBC students. This fee was originally mandated to sponsor two refugee students to attend UBC. Because of the increasing costs of education, WUSC can only afford to sponsor one student. The increase will ensure that the AMS and WUSC can once again afford to sponsor two refugee students $3.00 earmarked to Services - This part of the fee re-allocation will guarantee funding to services such as Joblink, Speakeasy Peer Counselling and Information, Volunteer Services, the Ombudsoffice and campus radio station CiTR. $.50 earmarked to AMS Programs The Programs Department at the AMS ensures that University is a lot more than academics. AMS Programs brings bands and guest speakers to the SUB, organizes the AMS Welcome Back BBQ and numerous other social events. This increase will ensure more bands at lunch hour. $1.50 earmarked to AMS Resource Groups This will guarantee funding for these groups directly from the students of UBC. In this way, their future budgets will not be affected by political or financial reasons by the AMS. This funding will be guaranteed. Currently resource groups include the Student Environment Centre, the Global Development Centre, the AMS Women's Centre and GLBUBC. This re-allocation of funds would not increase student fees; it would simply allow the AMS to use an existing fee for a broader range of programs.

Every night when you turn on the news, we receive more news of financial doom and gloom, announcements of more budget cuts and still higher unemployment. With times as tough as they are, you should be glad that someone is fighting to keep them from getting any tougher. The AMS is fighting the UBC administration over tuition policy, as well as acting nationally to try to prevent drastic and devastating cuts to post-secondary education. Read on to find out how you can become involved—if you want to talk about the external issues, contact our Coordinator of External Affairs, David Borins |at 822-2050, or by e-mail at external@ams.ubc.ca; for issues arising on campus, please call the Vice-President, Namiko Kunimoto at 822-3092, or e-mail her at vicepres@ams.ubc.ca m a M H o 24 Lobbying Lobbying 25 Fighting for a Cap: Tuition Policy UBC Considers Demolishing Students, Constructing Buildings In May of this year, the UBC Board of Governors passed a new tuition policy that will have some drastic effects on how much your university education will cost you in the next few years. The University has taken the position, contrary to the AMS s, that the only way the quality of our education can be preserved is to maintain the level of our operating budget even if the Provincial Government decides to cut our grant. The University believes that it is as efficient as possible, and will charge whatever tuition it needs to make up any government shortfall. Currently, UBC students contribute 20% of UBC's operating budget through tuition, and the government funds the rest. Although the cut to the federal government transfer payments, some of which used to be earmarked for post-secondary education, was only just over 4%, the provincial cut to pse in 1997 may be much higher. In fact, by September 1997, students may be facing tuition increases in the range of 30% to 300%. The AMS has two primary concerns with the direction that the tuition policy is taking this institution. First of all, because increases are tied directly to government funding, they become unpredictable, making it impossible to plan financially for going to school. Secondly, the university now has little incentive to do more with less, or to become more efficient in its operations. This fall, we will be lobbying the provincial government to place a cap on tuition increases so that our education remains affordable. If you would like to pass on your comments, or for more information on this issue, please contact Janice Boyle, President at 822-3972, Namiko Kunimoto at 822-3092 or David Borins at 822-2050 (e-mail to president@ams.ubc.ca and vicepres@ams.ubc.ca and external@ams.ubc.ca respectively). 26 Lobbying Post-Secondary Education Funding Recent Events In the March 1995 budget the federal government announced the amalgamation of Established Program Funding(EPF) and the Canadian Assistance Program(CAP) into one lump-sum payment to the provinces termed the Canada Health and Social Transfer (CHST). The combined sum is comparable to the total funding projected under the previous programs, but is scheduled to be dramatically reduced over the next two years from $29.7 billion to $25.1 billion. Furthermore, the provinces will be able to distribute the funding from the CHST however they please without strings attached. Many people believe that the bulk of the cuts will be passed on by the province to post-secondary education due to the difficulty in trying to cut social assistance and, especially, health care spending. As a result, tuition fees will very likely increase radically over the next few years as the effects of cuts to transfer payments are passed from the provincial government on to post-secondary education institutions and, ultimately, to the students. If the provincial government does not increase its current level of financing for post-secondary education to compensate, and the university does nothing to reduce its total budget, then tuition will increase radically over the next few years. In fact, Dr. Strangway, University President, has announced that tuition will rise by 30% next year if the federal or provincial government refuse to provide additional funding for education. International Corporate Tax Comparison 1991 Federal and provincial corporate taxes* as a percentage of GDP *Corporate taxes include corporate income taxes, capital taxes, payroll taxes and employer social security contributions!. Lobbying 27 Who Should Pay In Canada it is accepted that the government should pay for the cost of schooling up to the end of high school to ensure everyone a basic level of education. It is also accepted that continuing education in college or university is a personal choice. The question that arises is who should pay and how much? On one hand, there is a feeling that students should finance their education because they benefit directly through higher wages and, less tangibly, through exposure to new ideas and people. On the other hand, the government collects more in taxes from graduates due to their higher wages, and employers and society benefit as a whole directly from a highly educated and trained work force. In fact, a recent study by the Office of Budget and Planning at UBC showed that for every dollar the government puts into UBC, $ 1.26 is returned to the government through taxation; an extraordinary return on investment. In order to have a post-secondary education system in which access is based on dedication and academic merit, tuition must be kept as low as possible. Having the brightest and most dedicated students attend university serves to benefit society both in an economic and social fashion. It is reasonable to conclude that it is the responsibility of the government to support post-secondary education such that tuition does not deter deserving applicants. Education serves as an investment for both society and the government. Personal and Corporate Taxes Share of Federal Revenues □ Personal 1992 | Corporate^ I Other SoBrce: Deportment of Finance 1 28 PSE Funding The Trek for Education Employment prospects are poor without a university or college education. The federal government has stated that it believes that a skilled and educated work force is the key to economic prosperity in Canada. Yet at the same time the Federal government is backing away from education funding ^^ and attempting to place a large portion of the cost of post-sec- HP ondary education on the backs of students. If we want to ensure f0 access to post-secondary education we must act now to stop cut- gip backs to education funding otherwise we will all be facing huge ^| tuition increases next year and in the years to come. To protest the cutbacks to education, the AMS will be organizing a Trek for ^^ Education taking place on Friday October, 13. The trek is M meant to be a continuation of UBC s tradition of trekking to gain (f| funding for education. mti m m UBC's tradition of trekking started in 1922 when students trekked from the Georgia Street Viaduct to Point Grey. They trekked to protest the cramped conditions at the Fairview loca- Ml tion. By trekking and producing a petition with 50,000 signa- (00 tures on it they convinced the provincial government to donate uam $1.5 million for building the new campus, which eventually ,— opened in he fall of 1925. UBC students trekked again in 1956. Again, the purpose of (€P the trek was to gain additional funding for post secondary edu- (40 cation. Students spent their Christmas holidays collecting signa- (g* tures and gearing up for the trek. A petition with 86,000 signa- ,^ tures was subsequently submitted to the government. In fact, the trek never took place because the demands of the students were ^^ satisfied in advance. The protest achieved a promise by the gov- wLW ernment to provide funds matching any private donation up to >gp a maximum of $10 million. The Third Trek, or the "Back Mac" Campaign, tool place in 1963. The students backed the university president, John B. Macdonald, in his request for an increase in the operating grant. Students collected over 200,000 signatures, marched from UBC to the courthouse downtown and boycotted classes for two days. They had support from the Faculty Association and the Alumni (m PSE Funding 29 Association. Unfortunately, despite a valiant effort, the protest failed to gain the requested increase. Once again, students are facing massive cutbacks in funding for post-secondary education. This year students will trek on Friday October 13 to protest the Federal government cuts to social services spending and, especially, the cuts to funding of post-secondary education is being planned right now by student representatives at UBC and across the Vancouver. It is imperative that students support the trek by signing the petition, participating in the trek, and attending the protest in SUB Plaza South after the trek. University President, David Strangway, has stated that tuition fees will rise by 30% next year if the federal government's plan to cut funding for social programs is carried out. We must fight now to avoid huge increases in tuition fees that will make it impossible for a large number of students to start or complete their post-secondary education. Look for more information on the trek in The Ubyssey, posters on campus, AMS notice boards, or contact David Borins at 822-2050. If students unify we can make a difference.

One of the goals of the Alma Mater Society is to make a positive contribution towards the quality of education that each student receives at UBC. Towards this end, the Alma Mater Society has passed a resolution to begin publishing a guide to make available the results of teaching evaluations done by previous students. This is seen as a positive contribution that can be made to monitoring and improving the standard of education at this university and to aid students in making informed decisions about the direction and quality of their instruction. The publication will reflect how students feel about their individual instructors and will also contain other valuable academic information. Keep your eyes open for the "anti-calendar" in March 1996. If you have any questions contact Namiko Kunimoto, the AMS Vice-President at 822-3092.

Students with children are often faced with the greatest economical challenges as they must fund a family as well as their education. In the interest of accessibility, the AMS will be holding a referendum in January which will ask students to contribute $3.00 over three years to the Evelyn Lett Bursary Fund. Evelyn Lett was one of the first active women in the Alma Mater Society, she was also a participant in the Great Trek for Education in 1922. The University has agreed to match our funding, and if the referendum passes, we expect to achieve a total of at least $504,000. The bursary fund will be allotted to UBC students with children who are enrolled in at least 12 credits a year. AMS Textbook Express The Textbook Express program has been iniatated by the AMS to meet the needs of developing countries for textbooks. The collected books will be forwarded to the Canadian Organization for Development through Education (CODE), a non-profit organization which runs the International Book Bank. It is a book collection agency which stores books and carries out the distribution of resources to developing nations. There will be collection box located in the AMS Used Bookstore. Phone 822-3961 for more details. Bicycle Storage If everything goes as planned, there will be ninety bike storage lockers available on the north side of War Memorial Gym. This is a project initiated by the AMS., Athletics, the University, and Parking and Security Services. The lockers may be rented for a period of a month, a semester, or for the entire Winter Session. There are also shower facilities available for cyclists inside. Go to the front office in War Memorial Gym for rental information. Student bike lockers are partially subsidized by the AMS. Phone 822-3961 for more details. 32 Other Initiatives Renovations Hopefully by the time you read this, the renovations for the main concourse will have been completed. This is the first phase of a four year plan. In this preliminary phase, the main concourse will be given additional lighting and the conversation lounge area will be refurbished. A platform will also be constructed in the area for guest speakers. The bagel store which was to be placed where the bathrooms are currently located on the main concourse was not approved by the University due to a previous agreement they had signed with the A.M.S. Future phases of the renovation plan are dependent upon further negotiations going through with the University. Phone 822-3961 for more details. San Francisco for Reading Break? The A.M.S. is organizing a trip to San Francisco for Reading Break. All students are eligible to participate. There are approximately sixty-five spots available for the February trip. For further information, contact Director of Administration Am Johal at 822-3961. Safety 33 SAFETY AT UBC Walking on campus at night can be a slighdy harrowing experience: the place is huge, dark, and no one seems to be around for miles; unless there's someone behind that next tree... Safety may refer to freedom from physical harm and threat of physical harm, and freedom from hostility, aggression, harassment and devaluation by members of the academic community. Safety includes worry about being victimized as well as actual incidents. Students' right of access to education, academic excellence, and career achievement are seriously compromised when sexual assault, physical abuse, harassment and discrimination are part of the academic environment. The Alma Mater Society has recently implemented several new initiatives to improve Campus Safety. It is our goal to provide a safe learning environment. A recent survey at UBC by Dr. Dawn Currie revealed that more than 10% of women feel that it is not safe to travel alone on campus after 5:00 PM. Clearly, students are concerned about the issues. But do they know what to do about it? Dr. Currie concluded that her survey reflected "...a 'culture of intimidation on campus for women, and minority men; this culture normalizes aggressive, threatening behaviour as acceptable and also encourages the view that women are personally responsible for their safety through their dress or conduct around campus. Furthermore, it perpetuates the belief that strangers or "outsiders" are the source of danger for women." It becomes increasingly obvious that the greatest threat on our campus is the attitudes of students, faculty, and staff. Statistics based on reported cases of sexual assault or physical assault underscores the fact that most incidents are initiated by acquaintances, not strangers, on campus. Therefore, the AMS is focusing on awareness of safety issues, to relieve anxiety, and decrease unwanted incidents. Safewalk The Safewalk Program involves student volunteers [walking other students, faculty and staff members J between any campus destinations after dark. Hours of \ operation have recently been increased, but are still subject to volunteer availability. If you are interested in volunteering (we need you!) apply in September at the Safewalk booth on the main concourse of SUB. Safewalk is available Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 5:00 p.m. to 1:00 am, and Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from 5:00 p.m. to 3:00 am. 34 Safety AMS Safety Co-Commissioners This year the AMS University Commission has added the portfolio of safety commissioner to deal with student safety issues throughout the year. The commissioners are Cheng-Han Lee and Colleen Burke; we have appointed two people in the interest of gender parity so that safety concerns of both men and women are addressed. The commissioner sit on several University safety committees to ensure that students' safety needs are met. Currently, they are developing a Student Bicycle Patrol program to work in conjunction with campus security. A discussion group on USENET, has been set up to help facilitate feedback from students regarding safety issues and policies. Safety Audits are being organized across campus through the constituencies to determine trouble areas, and present solutions to Campus Planning and Development. Wen-Li Do The AMS Women's Centre offers a self defense course for women. This course is offered at various times throughout the year, and available on a sliding scale for women in financial need. For more information contact the Women's Centre at 822-2163 Personal Security Advisory Committee This committee is made up of the University Personal Security Coordinator, the AMS Vice-President, AMS Safety Co-Commissioners, UBC Parking and Security, the RCMP, the Women's Students Office and several staff and faculty representatives. We have developed a Personal Security Workshop which will be offered free to UBC students. The workshop identifies personal security risks, steps to avoid risk, and UBC resources available. Money has been allocated to personal security audit program, and safety awareness promotion from the Safer Campuses Initiatives fund. Sexual Assault: Sexual Assault: 271. (1) every one who commits a sexual assault is guilty of (a) an indictable offense and is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years, or (b) an offense punishable on summary conviction. Aggravated Sexual Assault: 273. (1) Every one commits an aggravated sexual assault who, in com mitting a sexual assault, wounds, maims, disfigures, or endangers the life of the complainant. (2) Every one who commits an aggravated sexual assault is guilty of an indictable offense and liable to imprisonment for life. - Martin's Criminal Code, 1994 Safety 35 Sexual assault is a blanket term covering all forms of unwanted sexual contact. It is most often applied to forced sexual intercourse, but it also applies to your being touched, pinched, or kissed without your consent. The term sexual assault comprises rape and every other form of sexual violation. 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. Men: 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 not to tolerate jokes about sexual assault. Women: If you're a woman, you should know your rights, be able to recognize a sexual assault when it happens, and know the resources and organizations available to help. Many people believe that a woman who has been sexually assaulted "asked for it" by dressing provocatively, flirt, are out alone at night, or get drunk or stoned. This is a myth. Women never ask to be sexually assaulted. Women may dress provocatively, flirt, are alone at night, or get drunk or stoned, but don't ask to be sexually assaulted. To blame a woman for being sexually 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.

Call 911 if you have to. Don't bathe, douche or change your clothes; you could destroy evidence. Ask a friend, family member, counsellor or police to accompany you to the hospital or doctor. It is important to see a doctor as soon as possible after a sexual assault, as you may have been hurt, exposed to an STD or been impregnated. Vancouver General Hospital has a team of female doctors working on a sexual assault roster on duty 24 hours a day (VGH Sexual Assault Unit 875-4995). Report the crime. Everyone reacts differently to sexual assault, so whatever reaction you have is normal. But many women never tell anyone about their assault because of strong feelings of shame and guilt, and they turn the blame on themselves. Remember" You didn't ask for it, so you are not to blame. Sexual Harassment Sexual Harassment is 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, 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. If you are being sexually harassed, tell your harasser very firmly that his or her behaviour is offensive. If you don't feel you can deal with the problem alone, contact the University's Equity Office at 822-6353. Keep records of the instances of sexual harassment, such as dates, times, and specific details, and be sure to note the names of any witnesses, too. Acquaintance Sexual Assault Committee The AMS is working together with Housing, the Womens' Student Office, and the Sexual Health Centre to increase awareness of Acquaintance Sexual Assault and help stop it. We will be heading off our campaign in September which will draw attention to male role models and the fact that "No means No". ^RASPBERRY • CRANBERRY • GRANNY 3 __.**#« A SMITH • MCINTOSH m X §E§p8 lTEc; & Sm5 H i "■"^cjoi^ PEAR • ORCHARD BERRY PREMIUM DRYS Safety 37 Directory of Personal Safety Resources Women Against Violence Against Women (WAVAW) 255-6228, Crisis line 255-6344 UBC Equity Office (Brock Hall #306) 822-6353 Women Students' Office (Brock Hall #203) 822-2415 Safer Campus Workshops 822-2415 UBC Personal Security Coordinator 822-6210 Student Health Service 822-7011 Emergency at UBC Hospital 822-7222 Student Resources Counselling Services 822-3811 AMS Speakeasy Peer Counselling and Information Crisis line 822-3700 Info 822-3777 AMS Safewalk Program 822-5355 Security Bus Service 822-4721 UBC Personal Security Coordinator 822-6210 Sexual Assault Information Line 822-9090 RCMP, University Detachment 224-1322 Parking and Security Services 822-2222 AMS Safety Co-Commissioners 822-8725 Vancouver Police Department 665-3321 Special thanks to the Women's Students Office Safety Guide & Sarah Dorsey Spectacular Monday Ihru Frida J 38 Chilly Climate The chilly what? We hear the term chilly climate more and more often, but many people are still confused about what the term actually means. First, let's define a healthy climate for ubc: it is one in which the policy, administrators, faculty, staff, and students of the institution treat everyone equally regardless of sex, race, dis/ability, sexual orientation, religion, economic class, and age. It's a climate that provides everyone with equal opportunities and encouragement to learn, includes a diversity of voices and opinions, and is open to debate. "But the chilly what?" Chilly refers to the idea that this learning environment and policiesguiding it are unwelcoming or even hostile to certain groups. Climate recognizes that in instances when the University, its policies, or its personnel are unwelcoming or hostile (that is, - they are racist, sexist,etc), they are not isolated incidents, but part of a larger discriminatory environment, or climate. Even policies that appear neutral but affect people differently still can contribute to the chilly climate. "So chilly climate refers to a bigger problem then?" The term chilly climate implies that discriminatory remarks and policies, and incidents of harassment and assault on this campus, are not just a large number of isolated happenings. Rather, they are an integral part of this institutional environment, which has for many years discriminated against certain groups, including women (universities were originally founded and designed for men only). A recent report prepared for the University revealed that there was a basis for allegations of systemic sexism and racism in the Political Science Graduate Program. Such a climate may exist to a greater or lesser extent in other departments. The Alma Mater Society and the Graduate Student's Society are working towards implementing the recommendations of the report. If you have any questions regarding this report, please contact the Graduate Student Society, or Namiko Kunimoto, AMS Vice- President. Chilly Climate 39 "I haven't noticed the chilly climate (I don't think)" You may not be aware of the name it has been given, but if you attend ubc,you have felt the chilly climate.You may not have been discriminated against personally, but others havebeen and continue to be. We can all see the chilly climate manifested oncampus: • women are sexually harassed • professors leave content by women or people of colour out of their courses • faculty and staff make derogatory remarks about lesbians, gays, and bisexuals • women develop silent understandings between them about which male professors to avoid • women and people of colour receive hate mail • students' marks are jeopardized or adversely affected by speaking out against discrimination, or speaking out as feminists. "What can I do about the chilly climate?" Get involved with campus and community groups defending women, people of colour, the poor, people with disabilities, and lesbians, gays and bisexuals (check out the list of clubs and services in this book). Speak out against discrimination in the classroom and of your peers. Report incidents of discrimination to the Equity Office, your department office and the Provincial Ombudsperson. Demand the inclusion of diversity of opinion and background in your courses.All students are responsible for promoting a quality learning environment through respectful treatment of other members of the University community both within and outside the classroom.

More serious topics are discussed every Thursday from 5-7pm in SUB Room 211 during our Discussion Groups. We also have the occasional movie night and bzzr garden. So if you 44 Student Resource Groups need someone to talk to, or just want to meet some great people, check us out. Student Environment Centre SUB Room 208 • 822-8626 The Student Environment Centre (SEC) is a resource group committed to raising student awareness of environmental issues both on and off campus. We organize and coordinate various activities throughout the year such as the Green Action Debate Series, Environment Days, the Media Action Workshop, as well as various rallies and wilderness trips. We will also be organizing various social events this year to which all volunteers will be invited, (veggie BBQ, anyone?) The SEC has an extensive library of environmental literature, some of which can not be found in the UBC Library system. We also act an umbrella organization by giving support to various sub-groups that focus on specific environmental issues such as wilderness preservation, animal rights and vegetarianism. The main focus of the SEC will be campus waste reduction, however students are encouraged to pursue any issue that interests them. The SEC is very dependent on student volunteers, so help is always needed and appreciated. Whether you want to start your Greening the Campus Program Sustainable Development Research Institute Hut B5, 2202 Main Mall • 822-9154 The goal of the Greening the Campus program is to bring together stu dents, staff and faculty with diverse/skills and knowledge to undertake projects which promote ecological sustainabiiity on campus. The projects will study five key resource flows at UBC - energy, water, waste, land, and food. Each project will address one or more of these flows in the context of a series of issues ranging from auditing through economic analysis to implementation. These student |§d projects will be supervised by faculty members with expertise in the subject area and will be overseen by a steering committee of faculty, staff and students. [The steering coijiaittee will liaise with staff and the University administration and will coordinate access to information for the students. The Greening the Campus program builds on current the skills and resources, but under-utilized, and contributes to the development of new research and the repution of UBC as a leader in the production of socially relevant and useful research. The prospect exiits for the transfer of such knowledge to the larger community, in the form of marketable research results and technologies for application to other institutions. Student Resource Groups 45 own subgroup or join ongoing projects, there is a whole range of fun and rewarding activities to get involved with at the Student Environment Centre. Women's Centre SUB Room 130 • 822-2163 Who we are... an AMS resource group, made up of volunteer UBC women who sponsor, organize, and maintain services and activities of interest and concern to women. Why we are... the Women's Centre was founded in 1971 to promote the status of women at UBC. The Centre now provides space, funding and resources for all women to organize against all forms of oppression — including sexism, misogyny, racism, imperialism, classism, ableism, homophobia, heterosexism, and ageism — both on and off campus. Who we serve... our primary mandate is to serve all women. Our space is for women and their children only. Our groups, services and funding are devoted to women. We welcome students, staff and faculty. We sponsor some public events to which we welcome both women and men. What we offer... a safe space for women and their children, information on services and events, referral to campus and community services, advocacy, resource library, support groups, volunteer opportunities, study space, current newspapers and periodicals, and funding to support women's mobilization and organization. How we operate... as a collective, the group of women that makes decisions, priorities and allocates funding. This collective is made up of any women who wish to join it. Every woman at UBC is a member of the Women's Centre - and every woman is encouraged to become a member of the collective. Our collective meetings are every Tuesday at 12:30 in the Women's Centre. The Women's Centre also has several positions available - treasurer, library coordinators, and others. We want you... the Women's Centre runs on the volunteer work of UBC women. We are always looking for new ideas, new energy - in short, volunteers! Please feel welcome to drop by anytime, or visit with one of our volunteers during office hours, or come to a collective meeting. The Women's Centre is only what we make m U U Service With a Smile The AMS has several student run services that are dedicated solely to providing you the student with things that make your life easier. The AMS services can help you find a home, find a job, find a tutor and sell your books. They are there to back you up if have been poorly treated by a group on campus, and they are there to help you if you need assistance. 46 Services m 4 Student Services 47 JobLink Student Employment Centre SUB Room 100A • 822 -JOBS (822-5627) Sponsored by the AMS, Joblink is the only II student-run campus employment office in JK JOBLINK JK Canada. JobLink has actively provided a link between employers and UBC students for more than 10 years. Operating as a full year service, JobLink provides a variety of resources to UBC students including: 1. Registration for the 24-Hour UBC CareersLine which allows cur- rendy registered UBC students to listen to part-time, full-time, and career- related job postings at the touch of a dial. 2.

Summer hours: weekdays 8:30 am - 4:30 pm Regular hours: weekdays 11:30 am - 1:30 pm RentsLine SUB Room 266 • 822-9844 How does the RentsLine work? The AMS Rentsline is a voice-processing computer installed at the SUB that allows landlords to call fromany touch-tone phone and dictate a description of their housing offer. These "voice ads" are then immediately available for students MaHrldSfamiSU to access. How do students use the RentsLine? Students seeking housing call (from any touch-tone phone and use several different methods to review rentals - either by listening to Today's New Rentals, which details all of the newest listings to be put on the RentsLine, or by choosing particular categories of ads, such as the type of housing sought or what is available in certain areas of the city. Calls to this number are free (excepting normal long-distance telephone charges if applicable). Students listen to the actual voice of landlords to hear accurate descriptions of the facilities offered and to assess the landlords personality and expectations. Landlords are then contacted directly by the student to arrange an appointment to inspect the property. To place ads, student advertisers purchase a discounted access code for 48 Student Services $5.00 at the Box Office in the Student Union Building. This code will give them access to the system without being charged the landlord 1-900 rate. For info call 822-0888. SafeWalk Program SUB Main Concourse • 822-5355 In April, 1990, the AMS initiated the SafeWalk I Program in response to growing student concern pertaining to campus safety. The primary purposes of this program are to assist in providing a safe learning envi- t ronment for the students and community members of UBC as well as to decrease—if not eliminate—the current feelings of fear that are developing on campus. The SafeWalk Program involves student volunteers HI SAFEWALK walking other students, faculty and staff members between any campus destinations aftyer dark. You can simply phone 822-5355 or come direcdy toothe SafeWalk desk located in the SUBs main concourse (across from Blue Chip Cookies). Two volunteers will then walk with you fromone campus location to another. Volunteers can be identififed by their SafeWalk jackets. Between October 1994 and April 1995, 138 SafeWalk volunteers accompanied people on over 3,000 walks! Students concerned about campus safety are encouraged to apply in September for a SafeWalk volunteer position. Your par- ticiaption will help to increase the level of nightime personal security at UBC for all students, staff and visitors!

Subjects offered include: English, Math, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics and French. Sessions are scheduled at various times and places and bulletin boards at the start of term. Sessions begin in early October for the fall term, and early February for the spring term. Tutoring Services is an education project of the AMS and is partially funded by the Teaching and Learning Enhancement Fund of UBC. Used Bookstore SUB Room 266 • 822-2901 The AMS Used Bookstore operates as a break-even student operation twice a year to offer an alternative to the expensive and often time-consuming task of buying your textbooks and course readings each term. The used bookstore acts as a consignment agent (or middleman) by providing the framework & support for students to buy and sell used textbooks. This student service eliminates the hassle and inefficiencies of selling via postings or the quotas and limited returns (usually 40% of what you paid) offered at the UBC bookstores "Buy Backs." With the AMS, students simply bring in their books, set their own selling prices, and get cash back as soon as a book sells. Conversely, students can come to the AMS used book store to purchase books (often still in excellent condition) at SUBstantial savings to buying new at the UBC bookstore (also, no long line-ups). The AMS bookstore operates out of the SUB through September and January to receive and sell textbooks. Come in and check out both our selection and the savings! Orientations SUB Room 266 • 822-2901 Orientations runs primarily during the summer months. If you're interested in volunteering during the summer months. If you're interested in volunteering during the summer, contact the Director of Orientation Services. You're new on campus. Or you've been here awhile already and are looking for a way to make a meaningful contribution somewhere, to something...and have a blast doing it.

You are the ones who AMS VOLUNTEER SERVICES • sit as a student-at-large on an AMS Committee (the advisory bodies of the Student Council); • advocate for students and student issues on one of several AMS Commissions; • join a Student Service group and learn new skills; • help out a club; or, • do many, many other things that are run, give you valuable experience, and allow you to meet new friends! AMS Volunteer Services is the centre of volunteer activity on campus. We have postings for any volunteer position on campus, either with the AMS or other campus organisations. We keep track of you, the volunteer, so that you have first crack at the latest positions that become available. But what else do you get from coming in to Volunteer Services to check out postings? Lotsa stuff, including: • the opportunity to attend development seminars, on a variety of topics that enhance your ability to communicate and to present yourself in the best light possible; • access to postings for volunteer positions in the general community, off campus; • access to positions in the area of your career choice; AMS Volunteer Services is here for you. Your student union has chosen to offer this service in order that its members can take advantage of the multitude of volunteer opportunities that exist both on campus and off.

What do you need to do? Well, there's rather a lot that you need to accomplish before the week is out. Remember, if you can get off on a proper footing with this campus, it is manageable. But (though I don't want to frighten anyone) week one is a little early to be falling behind. Buy (or sell) your textbooks. Many of you probably travelled out to campus during August, visited the UBC Bookstore, and have already bought most of the books you need. If you didn't, you'll be receiving your introduction to UBCs famous line-ups pretty soon; the Bookstore hasn't yet adopted TicketMaster's wristband idea, so it's a bit of a free-for-all in the first couple of weeks. They do try to speed the process, but let's face it folks—there are thirty thousand other people looking to do the same things you are. Be prepared to wait. So, booklist in hand—keep those elbows high...yup, that's the stuff—wade in and find your texts. But, once you've bought them: Don't open them! Don't even look at them! Here's a useful procedure that can save you hundreds of dollars: 1 Buy all your textbooks at the Bookstore, put them aside, and hold on to that receipt. The Bookstore rarely orders as many texts as there are students registered in a given course, so if the following steps don't work, you're still covered. 2 Look for used copies of the same textbooks. Go to the AMS Used Bookstore, or take a gander at any vertical surface on campus. Lots of upper-class students are trying to unload their textbooks from last year at a discount. Buy as many used texts as you can. You'll find that the critical information is already underlined, and answers to the problem sets are sometimes written in the margins (you can also find out interesting personal information about the previous owner that could prove useful if you need to raise your tuition fees through Surviving Week One 55 1 blackmail). Don't worry if the text is one or even two editions out of date. Evil Capitalist Publishers are notorious for renumbering the exercises and tweaking the design so that they can double the price. Sometimes you can get away with an old edition, and borrow some sucker's copy of the current one for the problem sets. Profs generally side with the student—after all, they have to buy the new editions, too—and have been known to give exercise numbers three editions back when they give problem sets. 3 Take the new books back to the Bookstore before the posted deadline for a full refund. Remember those elbows, or—better yet—bring a catde prod. It's just that simple. You can also sell off your collection of $50 paperbacks on consignment at the AMS Used Bookstore. There's no fuss, no muss, you set the price and the AMS takes a 20% cut. You only get the money when your books sell, though, so don't plan any bill payments around it. This is a much better option than Buy Back at the UBC Bookstore. When they will consider buying your text (there are limits on the number they'll buy back), you will typically be offered a quarter of the price you paid—take it or leave it. The Bookstore will then turn around and sell it as a "recycled book" for 10% less than the original price. They also won't buy old editions that still have some life in them. Finally, the AMS bookstore is part of the AMS—so the money goes to help fund student activities and services.

You're a number now, too; it feels creepy and dehumanizing, doesn't it? Read on only if you don't already have it. You probably won't even need your library card during the first month or two, at least not to take out books or anything. You don't have to start writing term papers until late November. UBC s library system is great if you need to find up-to-the-minute data on the reproductive rates of E. coli, but is next to useless if you're just looking for a good book with which to curl up in the sun. Head down to the Vancouver Public Library at West 10th and Sasamat if you need casual reading material. You will need the library card to get into the Pit for free (assuming you're either over nineteen or possess really good fake id). It's also your ticket to free swim time at the Aquatic Centre, nets you free admission to all T-Bird Varsity games, and allows you to vote for various people you don't care about. You will also need to get this before you write your Christmas exams, 'cause it's the ID they ask for to prove that a) it's actually you writing that test, not your genius cousin, or b) you actually do exist. Don't be especially keen to get this card right away. There are about six thousand other people trying to get the same thing, which means you could be standing in the basement of Sedgewick Library for most of first term. The best time to go is in the late afternoon, in the latter part of the week. The keeners spend most of Tuesday standing in line for this piece of plastic, but it only takes a couple of five-minute trips later in the week.

The University is looking at putting everything on this card. It'll be your key to get into buildings, to use the photocopiers, vending machines, atms, long distance telephones, and everything else that can possibly be wired into the system. No word yet on when this is being phased in, how much it will cost, or what it will actually do. The project is no doubt being addressed at a committee chaired by at least one Vice-President, meaning action won't be taken until sometime in the next century. Make sure all your fees are paid The University is very serious when it comes to collecting the money you owe them (although it takes nearly two months to receive any sort of refund). You will be de-registered if you forget to pay even a nickel of your tuition, kicked out if you forget to pay for residence, or find your library borrowing privileges suspended for a measly $138 late charge. Pay off the University as quickly as possible. Think of it as protection money; it's hard to see what you get for your money sometimes, but you'll get someone knocking at your door with concrete overshoes if you don't cough up the cash. You can pay tuition at any branch of the Bank of Montreal— even the ones in Montreal—with the little stubs in your Registration Guide. So, if the branch in SUB has one of those famed line-ups, you can head down to the one at 10th and Sasamat. Or, if you have a chequebook and no need for a receipt, there are drop-off boxes in Brock Hall. If you're having a problem with funds, go talk to the department in question. Most of the time, they'll show some compassion and give you an extension if your story is really good. Go to class This seems fairly obvious, but if you're on a waiting list of any kind, it's even more important. By showing up and asking the prof if you can be forced in, you can get into almost any class, even the ones telereg says are full. Students drop like flies in the first few days, so there will probably be room. Going to labs in the first week is also critical, because if you don't register, your name 58 Surviving Week One will be deleted, and one of those people on the waiting list will take your place. Try to meet your prof, if you're the type that doesn't mind having your name associated with your face. They don't like being in rooms with a few hundred people they don't know, either. This is also one of the more cunning ways to pass the year. It's so simple the University will never even suspect that you're getting the upper hand. Start finding about what's going on Read your copy of Inside UBC; it tells you when, where and how to get involved. Read The Ubyssey or any other campus paper [Even The 432. - ed]; they'll provide a great source of reading material during those boring lectures. Come on out to Frosh Week, Clubs Days or any of the other events in the first month. You'll meet interesting people and do exciting things that make the year memorable.

Since you're reading this write- up, you're obviously interested in finding out more about the world around you. Peruse the next few pages and you'll be introduced to several of the fine media establishments that publish those reams of paper you see distributed around campus nearly every day. They range from The Ubyssey, the current coverage champion (twice weekly, 15,000 issues) to a few constituency newspapers/newsletters that seem to appear whenever the mood strikes the editor. Beyond their basic role as information source, the newspapers on campus can provide hours of entertainment, as media watchers watch the endless sparring between rival publications (The 432 vs. The Underground, The Ubyssey vs. The Campus Times, etc.) [This section has been a pleasure to write, for a variety of reasons. For years now, The 432 has been planting writers (not to mention most ^3 of the editors) in the Inside UBC. Well, this time another publication *& got there first.] 60 Campus Media Campus Media 61 Campus Publications can be broken down into a few major categories: newspapers, humour magazines (some of which are newspapers, but I'll get to that) and newsletters. Newspapers are designed primarily to inform and educate. Their domain is news of all shapes, sizes and descriptions. The two major publications of this type at UBC are The Ubyssey and The Campus Times. The Ubyssey The Ubyssey Publications Society sub 241k The history of The Ubyssey shut downs and rebirths over the last five years alone would provide material for a book or two. Suffice it to say that The Ubyssey is now published by THE UBYSSEY PUBLICATIONS SOCIETY, a non-profit society that was created to separate the paper from the AMS. The Ubyssey has almost always been controversial, but it has also always been there. Last year it was shut down, and the students actually seemed to miss it (3200 voted to resurrect it). So, as a result, now it's back. Now that they don't have to continually watch their backs, it should be interesting to watch their performance, (twice weekly) The Campus Times Privately Owned. West 1 1th @ MacDonald Published "just off campus" by private owners, The Campus Times was formed as a reaction against The Ubyssey. Last year, with no competition to speak of, it was the only source of news. However, since it has mainly served as an alternative to The Ubyssey, it lacked focus without anyone to react against. With both papers in publication, the results should be highly entertaining, (weekly) Beyond the newspapers, there are a variety of faculty publications. The larger constituencies all have their own in-house publications designed to inform their own students. A few try to do real news, but most just go for humour and constituency PR material, with varying degrees of success. 62 Campus Media The Graduate Graduate Student Society Koerner House The Graduate suffers from a bit of an identity crisis. It is (essentially) the PR organ of the Graduate Student Society (GSS), but it sometimes aspires to something more. It will occasionally publish news items that the "major" campus newspapers had missed entirely. WTiat direction it will go in remains to be seen. (monthly) The 432 Science Undergraduate Society Chem B160 Straight humour. The 432 is the premier humour publication at UBC. Nothing else even approaches it for humour, satire and vicious parody. It is the main Science weapon against their eternal foes, the Arts Undergraduate Society and all its members (the other weapon being liberal application of blue and black paint). Occasionally, their front page story will catch someone out, and they will go around believing in Billapalooza, or some similarly implausible but not actually impossible creation of their twisted minds. (bi-weekly) The Underground Arts Undergraduate Society Buchanan WTiere to begin...Their design style is (in)famous across campus for its bold use of white space (i.e. they have a tendency to run articles in 36pt. type to make them fill the page). If they ever get this chronic lack of copy fixed, their sense of humour is on par with their dreaded enemies, the geeks of The 432. The sparring between these two papers on a good year is reason enough to go to UBC. (less often than weekly,but more often than yearly is about as precise as it gets; whenever they have enough copy, but see above) Discorder CiTR SUB An alternative music magazine from our friends at the campus radio station, Discorder is a solid publication that has incredibly distinctive writers (Narduar comes to mind...). If you like to read about music and upcoming shows, by all means pick it up. (Weekly) Campus Media 63 There are dozens of other publications, from UBC Reports (ubc pr fluff) to scholarly publications. The ones listed are enough to give you an idea what's out there. Check them out. Also, be(a)ware of UBC.GENERAL and a few other UBC specific newsgroups on the infobahn. If you like lively debate, you'll find it. One warning: don't post anything about The Ubyssey. Believe me, around 80 or 100 follow-up posts later, you (and everyone else) will be sorry you started that discussion again. Some threads just won't die, and they normally involve UCS, The Ubyssey or the Bookstore. On the Air—CiTR 101.9FM Print isn't the only medium for the dissemination of information, and UBC is lucky to have its own radio station, CiTR. When next week isn't soon enough, you can get all the news you'll ever need from CiTR. Plus, they have tunes. Broadcasting 1800 watts of sheer unadulterated power from high atop Gage towers at 101.9fM, we are CiTR radio. Operating since 1937, CiTR is the oldest and largest service organization within the AMS. As a non-commercial, non-sponsorship volunteer-run campus/community radio station, CiTR strives to broadcast fresh, creative, informative and reasonably intelligent programming for our listeners. This includes rap, folk, gospel, disco, industrial, jazz, latino, blues, dance, lo-fi, metal, pop, reggae, ambient, funk, country, bhangra, noise, techno, hardcore and more. However, music is only one part of CiTR: news, current affairs and sports are also featured with an emphasis on stories and reports that affect UBC. All of our programming is done by our nearly 400 volunteers from both the university and the local community. As the final part of your CiTR tour, check out our web site - http://www.ams.ubc.ca/citr or email us at citr@unixg.ubc.ca for information about our Top 50 Charts and Program Guide list- servs. For more information, come on up to room 233 of the SUB, or phone us at 822-3017.

Many of these divisions are based on physical factors, such as race and gender, while other are more intangible, such as sexual preference. Our society has decided that the sexual partner preference of its members is an important difference and has divided the world into two camps: one "straight," the heterosexuals, and the other "queer," the non-heterosexuals encompassing gay, lesbian, bisexual, and trans- gendered individuals. In assigning people to groups based on their sexual partner preference, the category of homosexuals has been constructed by both segments of the population. Wlien a group is constructed, they are more easily isolated, and hatred and intolerance are easier to direct. Unlike categories of race and gender to which people are assigned at birth, people are assumed to be heterosexual. Though many argue that sexual partner preference is genetic and is determined at birth, this preference does not emerge until later in life. As a result, everyone is assumed to be straight until proven otherwise. This assumption forms what queers refer to as "the closet" and is reinforced by images, values, and social expectations that constandy bombard us from birth. To be "in the closet" is to allow people to accept the assumption that one is heterosexual when one is not. To remain in the closet is easy, to leave is not. To "come out" is to acknowledge and accept, first to yourself and then to others, that you are in the queer category and not the straight. Coming out is rarely an painless task and certainly never a completed one, but for many it is a necessity. Being out affords people a great degree of self respect and allows one to live one's life with pride. Constructed categories of hetero and homosexuality will not disappear, but with each person that refuses to be ashamed of which category they are in the stigma attached to being gay, lesbian, or bisexual diminishes. Sexual preference becomes a less significant difference and coming out becomes easier for the next person. To be "out" is to accept that you are unlike the other ninety percent Being Out 65 of the population and are not ashamed of it. To be out is to show that sexual partner preference is a rather poor criterion for constructing categories of people. Accepting and acknowledging that one is gay, lesbian, or bisexual is never easy. It can often be a lonely and arduous undertaking. Fortunately there are many others that have gone before you and can offer advice, information, their experiences, or just company and conversation. Gays, Lesbians, and Bisexuals of UBC holds regular discussion groups, socials, and office hours, with an sizable library of resources and is open to all members of the University. Phone 822-4638.

Roughly one hundred seventy, though only SAC knows the exact number. Clubs are born, grow, reach a certain age, decline, and eventually die (the current euphemism is "deconstituion"). And another club (or the same club in a new guise) rises from its ashes. This can take months, years, or less than six weeks. Go figure. What this all this means is that no matter what your interests, there is already a club that ships them with you, and if there isn't, there probably will be soon. Club days occur on September20-22, 1995. Almost all the clubs will be represented, so it's a natural time to join up. If you can't find a club, call sac (Student Administrative Commission) at 822-2901. They should either be able to track down the club or give you a death certificate for it. If it has died, instead of giving up you could try to revive it... 66 Clubs Clubs 67 Ethnic/Cultural American Indian Sci. & Eng.

X CD S Sex, Drugs, Rock'n'Roll ex. There, I said it. A lot of people don't like to talk about the subject, which is a little strange since there seems to be so much of it around. So, the bottom line is, as they used to say on Hill Street Blues, "Let's be careful out there." The following is a guide to avoiding some of the rather large risks of having sex: pregnancy and STDs {sexually transmitted diseases). If you only read one part of the book, this should be it. 90 Sex Sex 91 Birth Control, from A to Z THEPHX How it works: It contains hormones that fool a woman's body into thinking it's pregnant without actually being so, so ovulation stops EffectivenessAbout 98% Cost-. $ 15-20 for one month (this includes a dispensing fee, so it is cheaper to buy several months at a time) Side effects: Weight gain, blood clots, mood swings, sore breasts STD ProtectionNone. THE DIAPHRAGM How it works: It forms a barrier that keeps sperm from reaching the uterus. It must be fitted by a doctor. It's used in conjunction with spermicidal jelly, and must be inserted no more than fifteen minutes before intercourse EffectivenessAbout 90% Cost: $30 for a diaphragm and a small tube of spermicide Side effects: Some women have experienced discomfort from a diaphragm, and it can shift out of place in certain positions. Women who have gained or lost more than ten pounds, or women who have had an abortion, must be fitted for a new diaphragm STD Protection.Good if used with a condom THE ENTRA-UTERINE DEVICE (lUD) How it works: It is believed to work by causing a chronic low-grade inflammation in the uterus, which creates a hostile environment for a fertilized egg EffectivenessAbout 95% Cost.

Sex 95 1 Sexual Health Health Education Outreach • Pearl Wierenga Brock Hall Room 200 • 822-4858 The Health Education Outreach Office provides health information to UBC students through activities such as peer education, fairs, displays, workshops, publications, newspapers and special events. The number one priority for students is to learn about STD's, especially AIDS. Students need to learn to recognize risky behaviours, such as sharing needles and having sex without a condom. We also need to ensure that we are having safe sex properly, through learning the proper use of condoms, dental dams and other methods of birth control. With proper planning, sex can be safe. Don't wait until you're in the hear of the passion, or until after a few drinks to make the proper decisions. Talk to your partner and plan for various situations. Don't make assumptions or try to be a mind reader. Use your imagination to explore safe ways of pleasuring each other, ensuring there is no exchange of semen, vaginal fluids or blood. If you have questions about sex or any of the related topics, contact a professional. The Health Education Coordinator is available to answer your questions plus inform you about various programs or volunteer opportunities. Work hard. i. 2291 W.

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. (Once more, stolen from Western's handbook.) 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 involvement 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 opposite sex. 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 I of the way through a degree that they don't particularly want and haven't made any alternate plans.
