A PLATEFUL OF POSSIBILITIES Andy Rice EDITOR-IN-CHIEF As the cafeteria in Birch undergoes a mini-facelift to ready itself (just barely) in time for the first day of school, I can’t help but notice some similarities to our own situation up here in the Capilano Courier office.

We are making changes too, and there are a lot of them. We don’t have a brand new pizza oven though, which makes me rather jealous.

But I’ll return to that later.

When I was elected Editor-in-Chief back in April, I had two options. I could have left everything right where it was and happily stuck my head out the window as this crazy train of a campus newspaper barrelled its way down the tracks as it’s done so well since 1968.

It would have been a sweet ride. I took over a winner, thanks to our former queen bee, Leah Scheitel, who left this project with plenty of track left.

But something within me was hungry for change.

It started with the ant problem I always kind of knew about when I was Managing Editor but never really wanted to discuss.

Then, I found a stack of old newspapers that hadn’t yet been properly archived.

Then, we were gifted a photocopier but had no free wall space to put it against.

Each little spoonful of change led to another, and before I knew it I had a

four-course meal on my hands. Being a big foodie, this didn’t really bother me at all, but I will admit I am pretty stuffed at the moment.

The Courier is like a time-honoured family recipe. After skimming through every copy for archival purposes I can assure you that this recipe is a good one, too. And as long as I’m here, it will remain roughly the same.

The ingredients, however, are where our new team will get to have some fun, and we’ll be testing out new flavour combinations all week before we bring you our first full 20-page issue next Monday.

Just like Chartwells has done in taking your culinary suggestions to heart this year (see page three for my story on that), the Courier has done so as well.

You’ve asked for more campus stories, more alumni updates and a greater celebration of what CapU can do for you.

You’ve asked for news you can’t get anywhere else and features you won’t find anywhere else. You’ve asked for an interactive back page complete with games and a free classifieds board. We’ve implemented all of that.

You’ve also asked us to make ourselves more available on campus and the surrounding areas. For that reason, one of our former editors has been re-assigned to a new role as Community Relations Coordinator. We’ve also hired a Campus Correspondent to cover news, stu-

dent politics and events. It’s my hope that you will see these two people everywhere.

After all, the Capilano Courier is paid for by you as students, and that’s precisely why I haven’t gone out and bought us a pizza oven. (I splurged on more staff instead!)

To better showcase all of the changes we’ve made, our new production team has completely redesigned the paper from front to back. I’m very excited to unveil their hard work in full on Monday, but in the meantime this mini back-to-school issue will serve as a sneak peek at what’s to come. We’d love to hear your feedback on these newest tweaks to the Courier recipe, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch. For what we dish out every week, we can certainly take it.

And remember — you’re always welcome at our test kitchen in Maple 122 too, so come join us for story meetings every Tuesday at noon, starting September 15.

Bon appétit!

CHARTWELLS CHARTS A COURSE WITH CHANGE New dining options to include Subway and a full-service Starbucks Andy Rice EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Students at Capilano University are passionate about their campus cuisine. Very passionate.

After 12 years as the institution’s exclusive food services provider, nobody knew that better than Aramark. So when that company packed its bags in June to make way for Chartwells, there was much discussion about what could be done, what should be done and what would be done once the new guy showed up.

Sidharth Mohan listened to it all.

As the new Director of Food Services for Chartwells at CapU, he is responsible for implementing the changes that many have waited years for. Simply put, he’s the new guy.

“Before we actually put in the bid for providing food services I believe our marketing people did a survey on campus asking students last year what they wanted,” he said, “So it has a major role to play in what we’re going to be offering in the near future. Going forward we’ll also have our ear to the ground. We can’t make everyone happy but of course if people are talking we want to hear what they are saying and try to do what we can about it.”

The top brands students asked for were Subway and Starbucks, and Mohan said that both franchises will be up and running in the next few months once renovations are completed.

“We were hoping to get Subway open in the fall but because of certain permit issues we were not able to undergo the renovation so that’s kind of behind by a couple of months,” he explained. After a quick renovation over Christmas break, the franchise will operate in a space adjacent to Tim Hortons in the Birch cafeteria.

A second self-serve Tim Hortons

opened on Tuesday on the second floor of Fir, replacing a kiosk that used to serve sandwiches and Second Cup coffee.

Mohan said that one of the most noticeable additions will be coming to the Library, in the teal-coloured alcove that once housed a row of vending machines.

“That will become a full service Starbucks with 100 per cent of their offerings,” he said, adding that the current cafe in Cedar will remain open on a temporary basis. “Once the Starbucks opens we will close down Cedar and move everything down.”

The project is expected to be completed

by November.

As of Tuesday, Ethical Bean will replace Starbucks in the Bosa Centre, and the brew will also be available in Birch until the end of the school year.

At that time, even more cosmetic changes will be coming.

The cafeteria will receive an upgrade over the summer, complete with several new franchises. “The seating is all going to be revamped with more comfortable

seating, there’s going to be charging stations for quite a few of the tables and a 12-screen multimedia wall,” said Mohan. “I’m also hoping to be able to get either an Xbox or a Playstation somewhere close by that students in their free time can play games.”

A new hot stone oven will be brought in for making thin-crust pizzas and the salad bar will be moved front and centre. “The grill is going to be changed to a brand we have in the US called Austin Grill,” said Mohan. “It’s a Tex-Mex twist so you’re going to have your regular burgers and fries and stuff but you’re also going to have your burritos and your tacos and nachos.”

Indian food may also be on the menu.

Chartwells’ parent company, the Compass Group, currently has the American rights to Bal’s Spice Kitchen, a brand created by Food Network personality Bal Arneson, and Mohan hopes to open the first franchise in Canada. “It’s like an Indian-style Chipotle,” he explained.

There’s meats and sauces and vegetables and spices and there’s going to be chefs

and you tell them what you want and they assemble it for you.”

Bento Sushi will stay put for the foreseeable future.

As they did with Aramark, students will still be able to purchase their food with a dining card. However, a new mobile app called ETUP is taking that convenience one step further. “You can download it on your phone and you link your credit cards,” said Mohan.

Chartwells was awarded the food services contract on June 22 after a competitive bidding process. The deal is exclusive and will be in effect for 15 years, giving the company the first right of refusal for all food provision on campus until 2030.

The university will collect a percentage of annual sales.

Despite the changes, many of the former Aramark staff have stayed put.

“Everyone who worked for Aramark was given the opportunity to continue employment with us,” said Mohan. “It works for us, too. They know the campus, they know the customers. The girls at Tim Hortons, for some of the regulars they’ll have their coffee ready before they even get to the counter because they know exactly what they want. That’s the kind of experience you can’t really put an ad for on Craigslist.”

Still, it’s been a busy summer for everyone involved.

“I wish there was a cloning machine,” Mohan laughed. “This is a brand new account and there’s construction going on and new staff orientation happening, a ton of catering, so it’s been a very challenging summer but hopefully when the dust settles we’ll have something good to show for it.”

Executive Education signs on to a new business venture Christine Beyleveldt CAMPUS CORRESPONDENT Over the past decade, the North Shore has been springing to life through building projects and business ventures. This fall, Capilano University’s Executive Education department is partnering with North Vancouver Chamber of Commerce in a venture that will lead to even more economic growth in the area.

Louise Ranger, CEO of North Vancouver Chamber of Commerce cited in a press release that Vancouver is one of the largest commercial ports in the world.

“There is a significant opportunity to strengthen existing businesses and at-

3

tract new business investment to the region,” she said.

North Vancouver Chamber of Commerce launched a program this year that is slated to run for three years called Economic Partnership North Vancouver, designed to aid stakeholders such as CapU in taking part in economic development.

“Some specific initiatives that we envisioned will provide one on one confrontation with small to medium enterprises,” said Ranger. CapU’s role in all of this will be as a member of the North Vancouver Chamber of Commerce’s board.

“As the only university on the North Shore, it was a natural fit for them to select us,” said Karmen Blackwood, head of the Executive Education department at CapU.

Executive Education is responsible for training the business-minded, aspiring entrepreneurs and executive managers. Most learning is provided directly through conferencing and seminars.

“With Capilano University we have talked to Kris Bulcroft and Karmen Blackwood about establishing some small training programs to help small to medium enterprises improve,” explained Ranger.

“What they’re looking for from Capilano at this stage would be to look at providing a variety of services, to attract new business investment and support the growth of existing businesses on the North Shore.” said Blackwood.

The Economic Partnership is not designed to be a University course but rath-

er a public service kickstarted by North Vancouver Chamber of Commerce and aided by partnerships. Leaders from the different industry sectors based on the North Shore, including CapU’s Executive Education department, the municipality, tourism bureau and the shipyards, will be participating on the board.

GETTING LOCKOUT AVERTED OFF ON THE Collective agreement with CUPE 1004 renewed until 2018 Therese Guieb RIGHT TRACK CSU organizes festive first week on campus Carlo Javier EXECUTIVE LIFESTYLE EDITOR

On August 20, the Capilano Students’ Union (CSU) issued a 72 hours lockout notice to the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) 1004 in the hopes of mutual acceptance of a new collective agreement.

Four days after, both parties accepted the collective agreement and called off the lockout notice. A lockout would have meant that CUPE 1004 employees would have been temporarily be withdrawn from their employment with the CSU. “If the lockout did occur we were really concerned about the used book sales, the different locker rentals, the services desk — probably we wouldn’t have been able to offer the same amount of services to students,” said Zach Renwick, vice president of Internal Relations at the CSU. The past collective agreement expired on July 1, 2014, however, both parties were able to serve a bargaining proposal months before the expiry. “Like all collective agreements it contains a number of different things like management rights, union rights, discussion of wages and medical benefits, vacation, hours of work,” said Sarah Silvester, bargaining committee member and CUPE 1004 executive member.

According to Renwick, the CSU served

their bargaining proposal to the CUPE 1004 in June 2014. However, CUPE 1004 wasn’t ready with a counter proposal at the time. As a result, the expired collective agreement was still in effect until the new collective agreement was drawn up.

It wasn’t until November 14 that both parties met and after 12 sessions, the CSU decided that the bargaining wasn’t close to reaching a deal. “We weren’t making any progress in terms of moving the negotiation forward so we had initially gone to mediation which is where we go to the BC Labour Relations Board,” explained Renwick.

A professional mediator from the BC Labour Relations Board stepped in during the mediation sessions and concluded that they wouldn’t reach a deal anytime soon. “In order to sort of make progress happen we had to look at our different options of what we can actually do but quite honestly it came down to it’s been over a year since the collective agreement was supposed to expire and the Union just didn’t seem to be taking the process seriously,” said Renwick. However, after serving the CUPE 1004 employees with the lockout notice, an agreement was finally reached a few days after. “Either way, we were happy with how it ended up. Both averted any kind of lockouts and we maintained services for our members which is the most important thing,” noted Silvester.

CUPE 1004 for the CSU is comprised of around 10 to 14 employees which include Capilano University student employees. “Student employees are part of the CUPE 1004 union and they are also under the collective agreement,” explained Renwick. The student employees also have a CSU membership.

According to Renwick, the CSU was strongly against the wage increase for CUPE 1004. “We didn’t want a wage increase because they were currently at $32.50 an hour,” he continued, “We wanted to see any new employees after July 1, 2014 would be introduced at a lower wage rate.” The wage for CUPE 1004 employees have now been decreased to $25 an hour.

In addition, the CUPE 1004 employees are now part of a pension plan. “We’ve been fighting for a pension plan for a few rounds of collective bargaining,” Silvester said. “If you’d go back like four different times in the agreement I think pension has been discussed so now we are part of MSPP (Multi-Sector Pension Plan).

The new contract is set until 2018, when a new collective agreement must be reached. Both parties will now begin to draw up a new proposal by fall of 2017.

enabled devices,” the statement continued. “This increase in usage has put a substantial burden on Capilano University’s network infrastructure.”

Over the summer, CapU’s North Vancouver and Sechelt campuses were updated with a high-speed one gigabyteper-second Advanced Network though BCNET. "Capilano University is excited about the opportunities the Advanced Network has opened up for us," said Stephen O’Connor, the university’s Chief Information Officer, in a media release.

"For access to EduCloud Server, cloud video conferencing and content peering, the network provides a stable platform to deliver these and other IT services our university and students need.”

Tuition fees are on the rise at CapU, but students are still getting a bargain by provincial standards.

On April 27 the Capilano University Board of Governors approved a two per cent increase in annual tuition fees.

Tuition for academic arts at CapU averaged $3,539 in 2013/14 and $3,610 in 2014/15. This number will increase to $3,682 in 2015/16, amounting to a $72.20 hike for the year.

CapU’s tuition fees remain the lowest of any among the seven public teachingintensive universities in the province. By law, a maximum increase of two per cent is permitted per year.

The Board also approved two new student fees, a Student Services Fee and Student Technology Fee. “These fees will enable Capilano to improve existing services and add new services and technology, ultimately enhancing the student experience and contributing to student success,” said a statement on the CapU website.

The Student Services Fee will amount to an additional $50 per term and was implemented to enhance student services, including student engagement, wellness, counselling, accessibility and disability services.

The Student Technology Fee will amount to $45 per term, allowing the university to keep up with greater Wi-Fi demands on campus. “Most students come to university with at least two network-

Capilano Students’ Union (CSU) has helped launch an exciting back-to-school week at Capilano University. Along with the student-led Street Party, the CSU will be holding events during the first week of school to build engagement and community across campus.

The CSU’s annual back-to-school festivities are set to kick off on September 10, with the participation of community groups such as the Canadian Cancer Society, Steve Nash Fitness Clubs and Grouse Mountain. “I wanted to provide both new and returning students with the information and resources that were available to them through the CSU and other opportunities on campus,” said Kate Phifer, vice president of Student Life at the CSU. “I also wanted to create opportunities for students to meet and engage with each other, both on campus and off through social activities.”

Activities will begin at 11 am at the Library Atrium where the CSU Board of Directors and its collectives, as well as CapU’s different student associations will be present for an afternoon barbecue.

During this time, the Human Kinetics Club will also be collaborating with Steve Nash Fitness Clubs in hosting a mini fitness demonstration – where any student will be eligible to enter to win a year’s worth of paid tuition.

New to this year’s event will be the inclusion of an open mic. At 4 pm, the CSU Library Lounge will be configured to allow students to exhibit their musical talents. Students can volunteer to perform and are also free to collaborate with their peers.

This year’s back-to-school events will conclude with Disorientation on September 11. The CSU has booked the Venue Nightclub from 6 pm to 10 pm for a light dinner and a performance by local band Lovecoast. Although Venue Nightclub will have to open their premises to the public by 11 pm, the upstairs portion of the club will remain exclusive to ticket holders.

Have you ever heard of the Wapiti Music Festival? No? Me neither, until I took a job in Fernie as a reporter at their newspaper, and my first assignment was to cover the amateur-hour music fest. And let me tell you, I covered those beer gardens like no journalist has before. But in between hitting on local boys with beards and trying to decipher what folk band was playing their heartbreak hit to the crowd was the distracting view of flowers bopping along to the music. There was a group of girls who somehow mixed up the music festival they were at and thought that they were at Burning Man. Between the flowers delicately pinned in their curled hair and their crop tops, it was distracting to even the band on stage. The Mounties, with Hawksley Workman as their drummer, stopped between songs,

looked directly at the boppy flower girls and announced that, “If I wasn’t single, I would definitely find my wife here.” Maybe I’m a hater of girls with flower decorations in their hair because it’s a style I will never be able to pull off, or maybe it’s because I go to shows to daydream about falling in love with a member of the band on stage and indulging in his rock star lifestyle. Whatever the reason, these flowers annoyed me to the point where I had to drink more, forgot everything about the show, and turned in one of the worst reviews I have ever written on my first assignment at a new job. If I get fired, I’m blaming it all on girls with flowers in their hair.

It’s not every day you get to experience hell first-hand, but donning my best cut-offs and PBR baseball cap, I walked into the inferno. Hell is also known as FVDED in the Park, but it’s no surprise that you’d find hell in Surrey. I had never before in all my days seen a technicolour beaded facemask, but all around me Nintendo-looking motherfuckers seemed to be everywhere. Had the blaring bass of EDM brought back the SARS epidemic and left these teens to reassemble their Kandi bracelets into health devices? At least the last time we had a SARS Fest, the Rolling Stones were there and Justin Timberlake got pelted with water bottles. God, those were simpler times.

Boots required less fake fur, real instruments were played and no one knew what a Skrillex was. I still don’t know what a

Skrillex is. One kid had what looked like a pixelated rainbow beaded mushroom crinkled across his grinding jaw, which was magnificent beyond all measure but simultaneously petrifying. Holland Park had transformed into some bad electrointerpretation of Mad Max, but with no foreseeable end. I was so perplexed by the purpose of the masks that I had to Google why people wear them, and even Google couldn’t answer that. My only assumption, which I base purely on the amount of teens I saw dropping to the floor convulsing behind their beaded facemasks, was maybe it’s to keep that weird overdosing foam that comes out of your mouth from staining your cool new rave gear. I can’t be sure, but I know it’s 2015 and this is not at all what the Jetsons had taught me to expect.

After that, I did what anyone with an STI should do — I anonymously shared it with as many people as possible. I danced with strangers at The Black Keys, gave random people hugs at Hozier, and jumped up and down and shared it with everyone around me at Ludacris. I happily became the person I hated most.

Even without the intent, having Bob the Minion accidentally “BULLO!!!” his way into the frame during a heartfelt ballad by Of Monsters And Men really spoils the moment. Blocking the view of people standing behind you is one thing, but getting in the way of the festival cameras makes you far more of a jerk by several orders of magnitude.

Every festival crowd comes with annoyances, and Squamish Fest is no exception (I’m looking at you, shoulder-mounted girl blocking my view of Mother Mother whilst squirting everyone with your water bottle). However, one unfortunate trend stood out in particular: sacrificial stuffed animals on overly long poles. These gaudy irony-infused totems usually featured a single Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, Pokemon or other plush toy affixed to the top with flowers and ribbons like a bizarre celebratory pop-culture crucifixion.

Harmless and quirky? Not when they’re being intentionally shoved in front of the cameras at the big shows where most people rely on the video screens to see anything. One of the main cameras 20 feet above the crowd for Mumford and Sons’ performance went almost completely un-

Whether you dance with someone wearing it at the Jack Ü show, have it thrown on you, or the ecstasy you took talks you into it, you are going to get covered in glitter if you go to a music festival. Glitter is essentially the fashion version of an STI — it’s the only fashion crime that can be shared with the rest of the crowd. At the time, it may not seem like a big deal, but just know that you’re wrong. Have fun sleeping with someone wearing it and discovering in the morning that your tent now looks like the inside of a disco ball, or going out for breakfast three weeks later and realizing your favourite jeans are still a bedazzled mess.
