Editor’s Notes If you grew up in this part of Canada, chances are UBC had a profound influence on your life. Chances are most of the teachers who moulded you were UBC grads, as were most of the doc- tors, dentists and other professionals you or your family had contact with.

If you stayed in B.C. chances are most ofthe live theatre. dance or musical presentations you saw had more than a passing connection to UBC. A good percentage of the people you dealt with- architects, lawyers, accountants, recreation workers and others were prod-

ucts of UBC. The university, through its grads. shapes the people and the society around it: most of the decision makers in B.C. are UBC grads.

Part of the function of a university magazine is to bring news of this influence to its readers.

This issue of The Chronicle is full of such news. Our article on the Bri- tannia copper mine tells of UBC’s connection to that old money maker from the days when it was the largest copper mine in the Commonwealth to its recent incarnation as a museum. Our new section on UBC sports shows and tells how we make a splash in the national and international sports scene.

But UBC’s influence isn’t all positive. There are many in the community who think the university’s plans to build luxury housing on campus land is a travesty. Our “pro and con” articles on the UBC Real Estate Corporation help you judge the issue.

We’ve included new features like student news and research news. and, of course, the old standbys. We hope you enjoy the magazine.

And don‘t forget our Secret Places contest. See page 1 1 .

U m The President’s Fund

Challenge and Change

w h e n was the last time you visited the UBC campus‘? Did you notice the changes that have happened since you left? Could you sense the changes that are coming‘?

Among the buildings that have graced the campus for years. new buildings are springing up and more are on the way. Inside these buildings. students are explor- ing areas of study unimagined ten years ago. Change has become a basic element of higher education and responding quickly is a fundamental challenge that the university must meet.

UBC alumni play an important role in helping UBC to face this challenge. By supporting UBC’s World of’ Opporftmify Campaign. graduates who know the value of a UBC degree can help the university take advantage of opportunities created by rapid change.

Alumni and The President‘s Fund

Alumni are vital contributors to UBC‘s $132 million World of’ Opportunity Cam- paign, launched in March 1989. The money raised through this campaign will provide the university with facilities. scholarships. endowed chairs and equipment. It will help UUC offer the best education possible in a world where, more than ever before. inno- vation and ingenuity will define a great university.

The President’s Fund is a n important part of this campaign. It is through this fund that alumni contributions make a real difference.

While most gifts and grants to the university are restricted to the support nf particular programs. the President’s Fund will be an unrestricted endowment of $24 million. It will give the university flexibility to fund unforeseen programs and the ability to seize unexpected opportunities.

Thanks to pledges already made by the Vancouver Foundation and the provincial government, alumni contributing spe- ctfically to the President’s Fund can see their donations quadruple in value. A $10,000 gift to the Fund is first matched by the Vancouver Foundation, then by the provincial government. A $1,000 gift is worth $4,000 to the university.

Building a World of Opportunities

A c-ornerstone of the President’s Fund will be entrance scholarships to extend access to the brightest and best students in this province and the nation. As well. the fi- nancing of graduate fellowships, essential to making UBC a world class university. will be increased by the Fund. This is consistent with the university’s mission to expand graduate enrolment by 2,000 students.

The Fund will also be used to aug- ment the present program of grants for education abroad. Within five years. as much as 5% of the student body will be studying abroad. and the Fund w i l l provide undergraduate grants for travel and living expenses.

In addition. increased monies will be available for graduate programs for women, especially in areas where women are under-represented. Scholarships and bursary support of First Nations’ students will grow. giving native people greater repre- sentation on campus. And financial support for disabled students will allow access to the unique opportunities UBC offers.

President’s Fund donations will also free the university to react quickly to the unexpected. Funds will be used to attract distinguished faculty or purchase collections that come on the market suddenly. Celebrated scholars will be brought to the campus for seminars and conferences; writers and scientists for workshops and lecture programs. The President’s Fund w i l l provide students and faculty greater access to the best in contemporary work and thought.

By building an unrestricted fund to deal with the unforeseen. alumni donors w i l l enable the president. in consultation with community and campus representa- L ~ v ~ s , to meet the challenge of change. They will carry on a long tradition of alumni support for their alma mater.

Remember the President’s Fund and look for more information about it.

And the next time you make the long trek back to UBC. take a good look around. The faces, the buildings. the sense ofchange “that‘s the future coming and it’s coming fast. The President’s Fund. backed by the alumni. can match that pace.


The President's Fund will provide more scholarships and fellowships for UBC students.

Pacesetter Donors UBC would like to acknowledge the leadership and generosity of the

following contributors who are setting the pace for The Alumni Campaign through their early donations to The President's Fund:

Mrs. Deborah Apps Mrs. Sheila F. Bentley Dr. Daniel Birch Mr. W. Thomas Brown Mr. Grant D. Burnyeat Mr. David R. Crombie Dr. John S. Diggens Mr. D. Ross Fitzpatrick

UBC News UBC’s Research Status Boosted

U B C received a huge boost to its image a s a first rate research institution when the federal government announced plans to spend $240 million across Canada in 14 separate areas of research. The university will be involved in 12 of the 14 projects, and will be lead participant in three.

Dr. Michael Hayden, professor of Medical Genetics, has received $17.5 million to study the genes that directly cause or predispose people to disease. He will work with 22 scientists from eight universities and hospitals to determine how these genes cause disease, and how process can be interrupted.

Robert Hancock, professor in the department of Microbiology has received $18.2 million to investigate disease causing bacteria. He will head a research network of 50 scientists in nine different centres. Their research will centre on bacterial diseases in plants, fish, animals and humans, and will work toward improving existing diagnostic tests and treatments.

Michael Smith, professor in the department of Biochemistry, will head a team of 21 researchers from five centres across Canada in the development of processes and products to be used in Canada’s growing biotechnology industry.

Robert Miller, UBC vice-president of research, said, “We’re thrilled. It demon- strates (both) our linkage with the research community int he rest of Canada ... and our desire to collaborate with outstanding research whenever possible.”

The projects, called “Centres of Excellence,” are funded through the federal Ministry of State for Science and Technology and are meant to foster collaborative efforts among universities, research institutes and the private sector.

UBC-Industry Office Does Brisk Business Remember all those nifty, million dollar inventions you dreamed about but never followed up on when you were studying at UBC? Some UBC grads have gone to market with their ideas and, with the help of the University-Industry Liaison Office (UILO). they are now cashing in on those great ideas.

Here are a few examples of the many success stories among UBC alumni: Lome Whitehead, PhD’89, formed TIR Systems Ltd. in 1983. His company

engineers, manufactures and markets commercial Light Pipe systems. You might recall seeing them at Expo 86, where light pipes were used on the monorail archways and in some of the pavilions. TIR Systems now employs 25 people and its annual sales last year were in excess of $1 million.

The Canadian Liposome Company Ltd. was set up following a successful collaboration between UBC faculty member Dr. Peter Cullis and the Liposome Company of New Jersey. CLC has an annual operating budget of over $1 million and employs 10 people in the research and development of anti cancer drugs.

Another UBC success story is Helix Biotech Corporation. It was set up in 1980 by Terrance Owen, PhD’74. and its revenue last year was over half a million dollars. The company has created 9 jobs in the research. development and manufacture of diagnostic equipment.

These three are only a sample of the 73 companies that have been created as a result of UBC research. In 1988, these companies had sales of $300 million and employed over 2,800 people.

The UILO has played a major role in developing these companies. The UILO will help researchers secure patenting and licensing agreements, and will arrange collaborative research contracts with industry. Our Prototype Develop- ment program will help move your idea from the lab to the marketplace.

For further information, contact James Murray, a t (604) 224-8580.

Prof. Leads Reproduction Commission Former Medical Genetics head Dr. Patricia Baird has been appointed to heac a royal commission on reproductive technology. She will lead the commission ir analysing issues such a s infertility and the impact of current and potentia’ reproductive technological advances. The report of the commission is due nc later than October, 1991.

Also on the commission is Maureen McTeer and six other members from across Canada.

Dr. Baird is currently a professor in the medical genetics department.

UBC Tests AIDS Drugs

T h e UBC Faculty of Medicine has been chosen to develop a national network for HIV clinical trials to coor- dinate testing of all new AIDS drugs and vaccines in collaboration with Health and Welfare Canada.

This testing network will be the first of its kind in Canada, and will be centred at UBC and St. Paul’s Hospi- tal, a teaching hospital of the university. The network will hasten testing of the drugs, provide rapid evaluation of their effectiveness and increase access of the drugs to AIDS sufferers.

The proposal for funding the network was prepared by Drs. John Ruedy and Julio Montaner or UBC’s Faculty of Medicine, and Dr. Martin Schechter of the Department of Health Care and Epidemiology.

Several regional units across Can- ada will form the network, and each will enrol patients into clinical trials and carry out the studies in their particular regions. Clinical trial results will be monitored and analyzed at the national data centre to be located at St. Paul’s.

The anticipated cost of the network is $2.5 - $3 million per year.

Researcher Ques- tions Genetic Laws A b a s i c tenet of genetic law holds that a s long as a person has two good copies of genes. it makes no difference if they were inherited from the mother or the father.

Now, a UBC researcher has con- cluded that some types of cancer and many inherited diseased may be caused by differences in information contained in genes passed from parents to their offspring.

I f the conclusions of Dr. Judith Hall, director of the UBC Clinical Ge- netics Unit are correct, they would contradict a basic principle of genetics established in the 19th century by Gregor Mandel.

Genes are carried by 23 pairs of chromosomes that exist in each cell of the human body.

Geneticists have proved that dele- tions or loss of one part of chromosome 15 produces two different conditions, depending on whether the loss is from the maternal or paternal chromosome. If the maternal chromosome 15 is affected, Angelman Syndrome may oc-

Chronirle/Winter 1989 9

cur causing outbursts of inappropri- ate laughter, hyperactivity, mental retardation and seizures. If the paternal chromosome is affected, Prader- Willi Syndrome may occur, causing obesity and mental retardation.

Dr. Hall says that a significant number of specific disorders have already been identified as possibly being affected by this genetic phenomenon. As many as 25% of human genes may have imprinting defects.

Hansen Fellowship Established

T h e federal government has provided $2 million to establish the Rick Hansen National Fellow program at UBC. The program will promote the interests of people with disabilities especially as they relate to post secondary education.

The money will be used to create a fellow endowment fund and the in- cumbent fellow will work closely with the proposed UBC Disability Centre slated to be fully operational by Sep- tember, 199 1 . The university has agreed to raise funds for an endowment to the Disability Centre to match the federal grant for the Hansen fellow. and to continue to finance existing programs for the disabled.

Rick Hansen joined UBC in March 1989 for a two year appointment as a special consultant to the president. His mandate is to help the university develop better programs and services for people on campus with disabilities and to establish the UBC Disability Centre.

Commenting on the National Fellow Program, UBC president David Strang- way said, "This program will work to ensure that people with disabilities, whether they are students, staff, faculty or visitors, are given equal opportunity to benefit from all the university has to offer."

Student News As a seruice to those of our readers who don’t get back io campus regu- larly. we present a brief summary of the news that has concerned students over thepast few months. The basis-for most of our news will come from reports in The Ubyssey.

Rec Fac Fiasco By far the most contentious issue

facing students during the fall term of 1989 was that of the Recreation Facil- ity Referendum.

The concept of a Student Recrea- tion Facility (Rec Far) was first put forward in 1982. In 1988. the AMs sub- mitted a formal proposal a s part of the university’s current World of Opportu- nity Campaign. The price tag was $9.5 million or which the AMs was to raise $3.75 million

To raise the money. the AMs decided to levy a $30 student activity fund. The referendum. held in 1988 to approve the levy, passed by 60%.

A controversy immediately arose. The AMs was accused of not giving the time or the opportunity for any opposition to be voiced. A petition demanding another referendum collected the required 1000 signatures.

A new vote was set for September 25 - 29 ‘89, soon after the beginning of the fall term. Four “no” committees were formed, and they waged a strong opposition campaign.

One strong point of objection centred upon components of the facility that had been eliminated since the original referendum: aconcert hall, weight room, squash and racquetball courts, ade- quate parking and a daycare facility.

Things really heated up when the Student Administration Commission (SAC) tried to institute a media black- out (to lessen the impact of the “no” forces) from September 22 until after the vote. The chairperson of SAC was also on the AMs council and on the recreation centre committee.

During referendum voting, a re- porter from the Ubyssey was able to vote twice, contributing to later claims of possible voting improprieties.

Last but not least, the “quorum issue” exploded. A quorum formula was never clarified. The vote was 2.612 “no” and 1,766 “yes.“ The “yes” forces pressed the quorum issue and suggested that the second referendum was not valid. The whole issue ended up with the ombudsperson and the student court.

At press time, the student court has not reached a decision. The ombudsperson wisely recommended to

formulate a quorum requirement before any future referendums, not after.

Other issues UBC students are concerned

about the university’s investments in Shell Canada. Seventy-nine percent of that company is owned by Royal Dutch Shell, which has over $500 million worth of investments in South Africa and is in fact the sole supplier of fuel lo the South African military and police.

Students for a Free South Africa put up a “shanty-town” across from David Strangway‘s office to drama- tize their concern.

heid in South Africa, but disputed Dr. Strangway condemned apart-

the connection between Shell Can- ada and apartheid.

.The environment is a concern with everyone these days, and UBC students are no exception. The Ubyssey printed one article taking the AMS to task for still using styro- foam cups and plates in their food services.

Another article focused on the Surplus Equipment Recycling Facility which was created last year to extract income from the resale of old and unused campus equipment. They have extended their mandate and proposed a waste recycling project, and a giant yard sale sometime during the 75th anniversary year.

The Universitv and the

Copper Town

UBC students studied

and worked at the old

copper mine at

Britannia Beach for much

of its 70 year history.

Now, UBC researchers

are sifting through the

rubble of that once great

mine, piecing together a fascinating story.

by GREGORY STRONG BFA’78

/&i?jT’ he old Britannia copper mine. with its enormous ore concen-

trator towering 20 metres above the Squamish highway. is less than an hour’s drive from UBC. Mine workshops line the base, and a network of service tunnels burrow far into the mountainside beside i t .

First mined in the early years of the century. by 1928 Britannia was reckoned the largest copper producer in the British Commonwealth. After producing more than 50 million tons of copper, and employing more than 60.000 people over its years of operation, it closed forever in 1974.

Earlier this year, partly through research efforts a t UBC, the copper mine at Britannia became the first mine in Canada to be recognized as a national historic site.

‘Whether we‘re talking about physical size, technology or the ethnic make-up of its workforce, the mine was a unique operation.” says Dr. Charles Humphries, a UBC political science professor, and a member of the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada.

The Britannia mine has played a part in the lives of many UBC mining engineering and geology students who spent their summers working to bring out the copper ore. For most, it was the first working mine they ever saw.

“Britannia was one of those places where a great many people cut their teeth.” says Dr. Harry V. Warren, a past president of the B.C. and Yukon Chamber of Mines. and honorary professor in the department of Geological Sciences. ‘The mine was just stiff with UBC students. They were mucking. and mining. and of course, a lot of them got to be shift bosses and higher ups.”

Warren is known as “the father of bio-geochemistry” (analysis of vegetation to indicate minerals that might be found underground) and. at 85. is still doing research at UBC. He has just had his 197th paper accepted for publication. As a UBC undergraduate. he originally visited Britannia in 1926 as an actor and props manager in a touring production of George Bernard Shaw’s “Pygmalion” for Freddie Wood’s famous UBC Players Club.

According to Warren, many of Canada’s leading miners got their start at Britannia. Among them was a young UBC rugby captain and mining (

and metallurgy student, C.G. McLachlan. who later became chief I metallurgist a t Noranda Mines. There was little research and development done in the industry during those years, but McLachlan astounded the mine manager by improving the way copper ore is refined in acid baths and separated from other minerals.

“McLachlan’s new flotation method made history,” recalls Warren. “He was just a bright student who worked in the mill during the summers and he was very keen.”

Marilyn Mullan is executive director of the Britannia Beach Historical Society which operates the B. C. Museum of Mining at the Britannia mine. She says, “C.P. Browning, the mine’s manager of the day was so impressed with McLachlan that he said as long as he was manager, there’d always be a job at Britannia for a mining engineering student. Over the years, mining engineering students and geology students came here to gain experience underground.”

Today, the 85-year-old mine has become a focus for historical research at UBC and provides undergraduates with a first hand look at history.

This research began with UBC history professor Dianne Newell. a past member of the museum’s board ofdirectors. From 1986 to 1988, Newell, expert in industrial archaeology. had students in her Western Cana- dian Studies class collect oral histories of Britannia residents.

“Most students felt when they were given the assignment that they wouldn’t be able to do it.” recalls Newell. ‘They felt very intimidated by the idea of contacting strang- ers and interviewing them about something which turned out to be quite an intimate thing for them. But in having to do it, most students were really transformed. They understood how attached people became to Britannia.”

Says Newell, “People who lived at Bri- tannia felt they were part of something important, to be in a mining community, to

face danger, either directly or indirectly, to make the most of your circumstances, a lot of values that students aren’t exposed to anymore.”

Newell’s students eventually collected close to 80 interviews and research papers which have since been placed with UBC’s Special Collections. Then, through the efforts of Newell Mullan and others, extensive company records, which had been turned over to the museum, were also brought to UBC. These records of company operations at Britannia Mines - - personnel files, medical records, business and administrative correspondence -- are now being entered into a computer data base. The boxes of files, some 91 metres long if laid end to end, are a unique record in Canadian industrial history.

Coding this information is social historian and demographer, UBC history professor James Huzel. “Given the range of material on this company town.” says Huzel, “it could eventually lead to one of the best studies on a company town in Canada.” He adds. ‘The company town was a major feature of many areas of the province.”

One of the observations that Huzel has already made is that the provincial labour force in the early 20th century was far from culturally or racially homogeneous. Some 50 different ethnic groups have been catalogued as workers at Britannia. “What we’re finding now is the tremendously diverse background of the people who ended up working in Britannia,” notes Huzel.

Perhaps greater awareness of aspects of provincial history such as this may help promote greater racial tolerance in contemporary B. C. society. Another benefit of the historical interest in Britannia is scholarly research at UBC.

UBC history graduate Logan Hovis. BA81, " 8 6 , wrote the first master's thesis on the copper mine at Britannia. Hovis, a onetime miner himself, and currently a consultant on industrial history and archaeology, examined the effect of technological change on mining at Britannia, including the important discovery of that earlier UBC student, C. G. MrLachlan.

As the higher grades of copper ore became exhausted, Britannia mine operations exploited lower grade ores and enriched them through techniques such as flotation technology. Tracing these developments, Hovis claims, "Mining became less craft-oriented and more process-oriented. The engineering problem became more important than the mining problem."

A number of history students have since become involved in research at Britannia or in administering the museum associatedwith the site. Sherry Elchuk, 24, a fourth year UBC education student, now acting curator at the museum, has worked at Britannia for the past five years.

"The history is fascinating," says Elchuk who has just written a thou- sand letters to former Britannia residents in the hopes of gaining more information about the community. "Right now, I'm trying to get a hold of the people who lived and worked here -- over 60,000 people!"

Bill Allman, 24, with a BA in history, now in his second year of Law at UBC, began collecting oral histories at Britannia. "Rather than reading second hand textbook material, you're going to the primary source. You're bringing out the stuff for the first time."

Jus t weeks ago, Hovis, a fourth year history student, Vern Becott, 29. and Allman followed the old tramlines up the mountain and discovered an intact bunkhouse for Japanese workers at the mine. "The graffiti on the walls, the names scratched above the lockers and the rice bowls piled in the comer," says Allman. "You should have heard us!"

"Generally, you talk to people in British Columbia. and history is something foreign and not something that went on here," says Becott. "Then you start looking closely at Britannia. It gives you a real hands-on feeling for history and it really comes alive." Gregory Strong is completing an MA at the Centrefor Curriculum and Znstruc- tion in the UBC faculty of education.

Thunderbird Athletics

Looking back on a decade of sport

U B C ’ s athletic record in the eighties is an enviable one. For many people, the decade will be remembered as the one in which the UBC Thunderbirds rose to national prominance on the football field, winning twoVanier Cups (1982, 1986) and three Canada West Championships (1982, 86, 87). But with a total of 13 Canadian lnteruniv- ersity Athletic Union (CIAU) Champi- onships, numerous Canada West Championships and even more numerous individual award winners, the highlights of the eighties covered a wide range of sports. Here follows a brief summary of UBC‘s success in the eighties.

Men’s Basketball - Canada West Champions in 86-87 after a best of three upset of the seven time CIAU Champion Victoria Vikings in perhaps the most memorable and electrifying finish seen on the UBC campus since 1972 when the hoop ‘Birds won the CIAU title a t home. UBC head coach Bruce Enns arrived from the Univer- sity of Winnipeg in 1985 and was named Coach of the Year in 1987 by Sport BC.

Women’s Basketball - UBC slowly

and steadily improved in the latter half of the decade following a depart- mental decision to implement a full time coach. The team was winless in 86-87 but captured the fourth and final Canada West playoff spot in 1987- 88 with a 6-14 record under Coach John Ritchie. Former national team member Bev Smith led the team to the playoffs again in 1988-89 with an 8- 12 record. Current national team member Misty Thomas takes over in 89-90 and promises to continue the long road back to the glory days of the early seventies when UBC won three consecutive CIAU Championships (1 97 1 - 72, 72-73 and 73-74).

Men’s Cross Country - Finished second at the CIAU Championships held at UBC on November 4. UBC’s Carey Nelson competed for Canada at the 1988 Olympics while Allen Klassen continues to excel1 in international competition, most recently the World Francophone Games in Casablanca. Morrocco.

Women’s Cross Country - UBC’s third place finish in the ClAU Champion- ships November 4 of this year represents their best success in a sport

which was dominated entirely throughout the eighties by Victoria (five titles) and Western Ontario (five titles).

Women’s Field Hockey - One of UBC’s most successful teams in the eighties with a total of three CIAU gold medals (1980, 82. 83). three bronze medals (1984. 87, 89) and one silver (1988). Melanie Slade and Penny Cooper were named to the 1988 Olympic team while Coach Gail Wilson served four years as an assistant coach with the national team and was named CIAU Coach of the Year in 1984 and 1987.

Football - Three Western Intercolle- giate Football League (WIFL) Champi- onships (1982, 86. 87). three Vanier Cup appearances, two Vanier Cup Championships (1982, 86). As we go to press, there are thirteen former UBC Thunderbirds active in the CFL. Coach Frank Smith made guest coaching appearances at several CFL training camps including the BC Lions and the 1988 CFL Allstar team and was CIAU Coach of the Year in 1978 and 1987.

Ice Hockey - Have not won a Canada West Championship since 1970-7 1.


Athletics Won the prestigious Empress Cup Tournament in Calgary in 1988. Goal- tender Carl Repp. who played from 1984-89, was drafted by the LA Kings and is currently playing pro hockey in New Haven. Connecticut.

Men’s Soccer - won CIAU championship in 1984 and 85 underJoe Johnson and 1986 and 89 under Dick Mosher. Mosher was named CIAU Coach of the Year in 1989. Team went undefeated in 34 starts against CIAU competitors between 1985 and 1987. Seven UBC Thunderbirds played in the CSI, during the summer of 1989.

Women’s Soccer - Won five consecutive Canada West championships (1983. 84, 85, 86, 87) as well as the first ever CIAU Women’s Soccer Cham- pionships in 1987. Along with football and women’s field hockey, UBC‘s soccer teams were the most consistent in CIAU competition during the eighties.

Men’s Swimming - have won only one national title (1964-65) due to the dominance in the sport by the Univer- sity of Calgary who won all but two CIAU Championships in the eighties.

(U of Toronto won the other two.) UBC’s Kevin Draxinger still holds the CIAU record in the 200 metre hack- stroke ( 1 :59:39) while Turlough O’Hare represented Canada in the 1988 Olympics and continues to compete internationally.

Women’s Swimming - UBC ended the University of Toronto’s six year domination of the sport with ClAU Championshipsin 1984-85and 1985-

86. Jack Kelso was named ClAU Coachoftheyear in 1981-82, 1983-84 and 1984-85.

Men’s Track and Field - Last year’s bronze medal a t the CIAU Cham- pionships represents perhaps the greatest success of the decade for men’s track and field, a sport historically dominated by Toronto, York and Manitoba. The lack of indoor training facilities has made it difficult for UBC ath- letes to train for CIAU competition which is all indoors.

Women’s Track and Field - No ClAU Champion- ships in the eighties, however,

UBC’s Tami Lutz was named the Outstanding Athlete at the 1985-86 ClAU Championship Meet and still holds the record she set that year in the high jump (1.87 metres). UBC’s Jeannie Cockcroft subsequently won three consecutive gold medals in high jump (1986, 87. 88).

Men’s Volleyball - Won Canada West Championships in 1983-84 and 1985- 86 and the ClAU Championship in 1982-83. the same year that coach Dale Ohman was named CIAU Coach of the Year. Four former Thunderbirds are currently active on Canada’s national team.

Women’s Volleyball - UBC has been consistent throughout the eighties but has been shut out of CIAU Champion- ship action since 1977-78 when they won the last of their four CIAU Cham- pionships. The sport has been dominated by the University of Winnipeg who have won six of the last seven ClAU titles. Currently ranked number two in the nation. Coach Donna Baydock was named ClAU Coach of the Year in 1988-89.

Rugby - Not a CIAU sport. however, UBC’s rugby program has been so successful for so many years. we felt it worthy of mention. The ‘Birds have been consistent winners in both local and international competition and have earned respect in rugby circles in Great Britain. Australia and the USA. where they recently conducted two unbeaten tours against top ranked NCAA teams and were unofficially named North American Collegiate Rugby Champi- ons in 1987-88. Won Canadian Cham- pionship in November. 1988.

After three days of hard hitting championship soccer, the final whistle signals a national title for UBC.

T-Birds Win Final CIAU Title of the ’80s H e a d Coach Dick Mosher saunters around the vacant UBC bench collecting up all the emptied water bottles. mechanically repeating a post-game routine for the umpteenth time in his tenureas theThunderbird head coach. As usual. Mosher is unexcited, a trait not common among head roaches in any sport. Even at a time when his spirited charges are celebrating their fifth CIAU Championship. Mosher simply appears to be glad it’s over.

“What a struggle.” says the 1989 CIAU Coach of the Year, who appears a touch drained following his team‘s 1-0 victory over the Saint Mary’s Huskies in the Men’s Soccer final November 12 at T-Bird Stadium. “Three one goal games (in three days) is hard on a coach.”

Despite being undefeated and ranked number one in the country going into the tournament. the road to the championship was all out war. UBC knocked off McGill 1-0 in the quarter final and the next day was forced into overtime against the OUAA West Champion Laurentian Voyageurs from Sudbury. With the score tied at 1-1 at the beginning of the second overtime period and complete darkness only minutes away, Neil Wilkin- son scored the winning goal. vaulting the already ex-

Message From Mistv

Those are three familiar words from that silky pop ballad of the fifties which bears the same name as UBC’s newest head coach. Coin- cidentally, those three words pretty much summarize the approach to coaching that former national team captain Misty Thomas brings to the UBC women’s basketball team. The only difference is that it is far from sweet. In fact, the 25 year old native of Windsor Ontario is deadly seri- ous.

‘The team will have had three coaches in three years. so there are people who have been advising me on how to approach the season.” said Thomas. “For example. (1988- 89 head coach) Bev Smith suggested that I take it easy on them at first and give them time to adjust, but that‘s just not me. The only way I can do this is my way.

If I do it my way and we lose, 1’11 be frustrated and disappointed, but 1’11 know exactly what the problem was. I f I do it the way somebody else tells me and we lose, 1’11 be even more disappointed and frustrated because I still won‘t know what went wrong.”

“She always wants to be the best and get the best out of her fellow teammates,” said UNLV co- head coach Jim Bolla. “She was definitely the hardest worker on our team. In her studies it is the same way - she wants to be the best she can be.”

The study habits which Bolla referred to resulted in a 3.94 grade point average. (Yes. that is out of a

Father David Bauer, Canada’s legendary hockey and humanitarian fig- ure, passed away November 9th. 1988 following a lengthy bout with cancer.

Father Bauer is a member of the NHL Hall of Fame and was awarded the Order of Canada for his hard work and dedication to amateur hockey. He pioneered the notion that education and hockey could go hand in hand, a philosophy that will endure in the institutions and young men that he influenced. He devoted the better portion of his life to helping young Canadian men to use their God - given hockey talents to help further their education and better prepare themselves for life after hockey.

Upon returning from World War 11, Father Bauer recognized a world in crisis and devoted his life to the bet- terment of mankind. He joined the Basilian Congregation at Goderich, Ontario in 1946 and was ordained seven years later.

Bauer was a member of the 1945 Memorial Cup Cham- pion Oshawa Generals and declined several offers to become a professional in the original, six team National Hockey League. While injunior hockey, Bauer realized that only a cho-

He returned to the Olympic team in 1980 and was afterwards criticized for never bringing home a gold medal. For Bauer, however, success was never measured in gold, silver or bronze, but in knowing that young men had become good Canadians because of his guidance.

UBC head hockey coach Terry O’Malley played for Fa- ther Bauer at St. Michael’s College, at UBC and on the Olympic team. “Father Bauer was a very personable man,” said O’Malley. “He made apoint of knowing everyone involved from the young lady serving coffee in the concession to the team’s top goal scorer.”

Dr. Bob Hindmarch, UBC’s current Director of Athletics and Sport Services, was Bauer’s UBC and Olympic team manager. “He was one of the finest people I ever knew,” recalled Hindmarch. “And I’ll never forget one of his fundamental principles of playing the game of hockey. He always said ‘technique is important, but let the human spirit prevail.”’

For all who knew and loved Father Bauer, the spirit which he humbly exemplified will most

He saw many players who had dedicated their lives to a n NHL ap- prenticeship and when they failed to become professionals, lacked the skills necessary to succeed in life. He recognized this neglect and set out on a mission to make sure that dedicated young Canadian hockey players had something to fall back on after hockey.

Bauer taught ethics at St. Michael’s College inToronto from 1953 to 1961. While at St. Michael’s he put his education-hockey philosophy into practise. In 1961, his work with the

UBC Real Estate Corporauon

Blind profiteering or sound financial planning?

In the summer of this year, UBC launched its first real estate venture with the clearing of land at the corner of 16th and Wesbrook. Plans for the site include highrise rental units, townhouses and lowrise apartments.

Residents in the West Point Grey area were quick to pro- test the development. They feared that the project would have a negative impact on the west side lifestyle, and that the project was geared toward profit and not toward the area's housing needs. They were also concerned that the university made no effort to consult with the community about its plans.

For its part, the university sees the development (and subsequent developments) as a natural extension of its mandate to raise funds for university programmes. The land, ceded to UBC in the O OS, was meant to be used in this manner, and, in any event, is the university's to use at it sees fit.

We asked both sides of the debate to state the case as they see it. Mark Betteridge, President of the UBCREC ex- plains UBC's position, and Essop Mia, of the West Point Grey Resident's Association presents an alternate view.

the university in 1955. ,

Ill-conceived continued from page 23 in the proposed Hampton Place project. We are appalled that at a time when there is an urgent need of affordable housing for UBC’s students, faculty and staff, the university proposes to build expensive. luxury accommodation. We are mortified that when global deforestation is a rising concern, our leading post-secondary institution condones logging and slash burning in order to profit from an artificial real estate boom.

We are also disappointed that the university would even consider gener- ating funds in this manner. The B.C. government has been a notoriously poor supporter of education and has allowed our universities to deteriorate academically and physically. I t is the government’s responsibility to fund our institutions adequately: our universities should be involved completely in the task of academic excellence, not in fund raising. By entering the real estate market, UBC is providing the government with an effective rationale to minimize further financial support.

UBC does not exist in a vacuum and every major decision it makes affects the surrounding community. The Board of Governors must demon-

strate their moral leadership and insist that UBCREC comply with the guidelines developed in the City of Vancouver for public consultation. Although the process of clearing the land has been completed there is still time to discuss the project with the affected communities. UBCREC should hold a s many meetings as are necessary to obtain the opinions of the community and should use this information to change the nature and scope of the project. I t should also consider the impact of the project on the Pacific Spirit Park, the needs for services. fire protection, school capacity and rec- reational facilities. We believe that on completing this process the university will recognize that the needs of neigh- bouring communities have changed considerably since the university’s master plan was developed in 1982.

Some of the detailed concerns we have about the project are:

*There is so little urban forest land left in Vancouver that its retention should be jealously guarded.

*A high-density housing development. and particularly three 21 to 26 storey buildings. will dominate the adjacent parkland and will have a significant negative impact on park users and the surrounding community.

*There is currently a critical short-

age of affordable housing on or near the campus. The university should be addressing the desperate need of its constituents before developing luxury housing. This would have a more positive impact on future operating fund requirements of the university, and help deal with the increasing transportation and air pollution problems in Greater Vancouver.

*Raising money in this manner un- dermines the real function of the university. and absolves the government of its responsibility to support first rate education in the province.

-The project is expected to yield an annual revenue of $3.5 million in five years. This projection is misleading, because it will be exceeded by the costs of dealing with the problems created by the project.

Ai a general meeting on September 28, 1989 WPGRA passed a unanimous resolution requesting that UBCREC suspend all activities on the proposed Hampton Place project until consultation has been completed with the West Point Grey and university communities. and any other interested parties.

The “Hampton Place” project is ill- conceived, not in the best interests of the university or the community, and should be discontinued in its current form.

diately north of Hampton Place in the Acadia Camp area. During 1987 and early 1988, university staff and consultants carried out detailed feasibility and impact studies for Hampton Place which were presented at an open meeting of the Board of Governors in March 1988. The decision was made to create the UBC Real Estate Corpora- tion as a private company owned by the university. and a president was hired in August 1988. The company is about to double its staff with the addition of an executive assistant.

The 28 acre site will have ten multi- family sites for townhouses. low rise and high rise apartments. UBCREC will initially act as a land developer and has been gaining approvals for subdi- vision and servicing the land. Cur- rently, the proposal is to sell 99 year pre-paid ground leases on seven of the ten sites which w i l l pay for servicing the land and contribute towards the construction of three rental high rises to be owned and operated by UBCREC as part of Hampton Place. The profits from operating these rental high rises will be given back to UBC on an annual basis. In this way. UBC will have an additional source of capital and en-


dowment funding, increasing through time, and will have an appreciating asset in the buildings.

During this period, UBCREC will control the quality of the buildings built on the seven sites leased to devel- opers to ensure the appropriate image. A design team will require high architectural standards and independent consultants will administer the building code requirements. UBCREC will also spend a large proportion of the servicing budget on landscaping along 16th Avenue, Wesbrook Mall and along the internal road. This landscaping will include hundreds of replacement trees. UBCREC’s landscape architect will also require detailed plans from each developer before the developer is allowed to build to ensure a consistent theme and high standard.

Hampton Place will increase the housing stock in the area by between 700 and 800 housing units. Residents of these homes will pay property taxes at the same level they would if they lived in the City of Vancouver, so they will not be subsidized. Since the mandate of UBCREC is to make money for the university, the homes w i l l be sold or rented at market rates.

UBCREC may look at other projects both on and off the campus, as is the practice at many universities around the world. These universities in North

America, Europe and Australia (many of which are members of the Associa- tion of University Real Estate Officials) have built up real estate portfolios that have become crucial sources of pre- dictable funding. By using the university’s available real estate resources and acquiring new ones, UBCREC can provide this kind of funding. and can become an important factor in the future growth and development of UBC.

Alumni and other friends of UBC can become involved in helping the university develop real estate assets. There are often practical tax reasons for alumni to donate real estate to their alma mater whether it be part of an estate, a life estate or a straightforward donation now. The UBC Development Office and UBCREC can provide advice if such contributions are of interest to you.

UBCKEC was created to provide a new avenue of funding for UBC. As the university faces the challenges and opportunities of the 2 1 st century, more and more creative methods of generat- ing endowment and capital funds must be developed. UBCREC is just one of these methods.

Please contact UBCREC at (604) 266-3155 if you have any questions about Hampton Place, the UBC Real Estate Corporation or real estate donations to the university.
