Women’s studies chair draws on experience for research Sarah Bigam Staff Writer

Becki Ross grew up in a lakeside home built atop the foundation of an old brothel and dance hall.

“I still want to go back and investigate more about that particular institution,” Ross said. “I think it’s a fitting foundation for my later work.”

Ross, who is a sociology professor and the chair of women’s and gender studies at UBC, has done work on sexual identity, sex work, sexual communities and family.

The recipient of several teaching awards, including the Killam Teaching Award for best professor in the Faculty of Arts, Ross has taught at UBC since 1995.

Ross has spent the past few years researching the history of sex workers in Vancouver. In 2007, she was given a grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada to research the expulsion of sex workers from Vancouver’s West End between 1975 and 1985.

In 2010, she won the British Columbia Clio Book Prize for her book Burlesque West: Showgirls, Sex, and Sin in Postwar Vancouver , which examined the social history of the striptease entertainment industry in Vancouver after the second world war.

Some of Ross’s motivation for her work comes from her early years. Ross’s father was general manager of the Sudbury Wolves hockey team, and she said spending time with the team introduced her to issues of masculinity that she has since investigated as a professor.

She said her commitment to reproductive rights for women was catalyzed when she had an abortion at age 17. She described going through a difficult process of finding an underground feminist health centre, which gave her a referral <em>

“It was a long, cumbersome, very anti-women process,” Ross said.

Ross, who has been involved in athletics her whole life, often noticed gender inequality in sports as a child.

“Boys had better uniforms, they had more experienced coaching, they had more gym time,” she said.

Ross has also looked into issues of motherhood. This has included both the stigma that women like Ross face for choosing not to have children as well as the challenges faced by women who do.

“My own mother really sacrificed herself and her opportunities for life for her children,” Ross recounted. “I’m really grateful to her for the sacrifices that she made to enable all five children to go to university and to try to reach our goals and to strive to be the best we can.”

Earlier this year, Ross was awarded the Hooker Distinguished Visiting Professor Fellowship at McMaster University in Ontario, and this fall she’ll travel there to give lectures and meet with graduate students.

Ross is committed to ending the sexual, physical and emotional violence that many women and young children face.

“It has to stop, and so when we think about how it’s going to stop, it has to start with socialization and with efforts that parents and teachers and coaches and dance instructors and vocal coaches and whoever is an adult other in a person’s life, contributing to this effort to stop the bullying, stop the bad behaviour, stop the sexism and racism.” U <em>

Elin Tayyar, a former AMS VP Finance and member of the committee in charge of the brewery, stands at the UBC Farm, the new location slated for the brewery.

Campus microbrewery moved to the farm

Financial, space concerns cancel plans for new SUB brewery Will McDonald News Editor

There’s still going to be a campus microbrewery, but it won’t be in the new SUB. At the March 6 Alma Mater Society council meeting, the AMS unanimously approved a motion to spend up to $1.1 million over the next four years to build a microbrewery on the UBC Farm. The brewery was originally slated for the new SUB, but the AMS has decided that the farm is a more practical location.

Elin Tayyar, former AMS VP Finance and a member of the committee in charge of the brewery, said building on the UBC Farm will cost $350 per square foot as opposed to the $410 per square foot projected for the space in the new SUB.

NEWS BRIEFS Unionized childcare workers approve deal with university Unionized campus childcare workers have approved a tentative deal with the university.

The workers, represented by a bargaining unit of around 160 employees within BCGEU Local 303, voted 93 per cent in favour of the agreement last week.

BCGEU local 303 chair Andrea Duncan said the deal, which expires April 30, 2014, includes a two per cent wage increase retroactive to May 1, 2012, and an additional two per cent wage increase on May 1, 2013.

The agreement is similar to the other deals UBC made with unionized workers this year, such as service worker union CUPE 116 and TA union CUPE 2278.

Before the deal, campus childcare workers made between $11.81 and $21.19 per hour, depending on education and experience.

The bargaining unit was originally asking for a minimum wage of $20 for all members.

The union served strike notice on Feb. 21, threatening to picket daycares beginning on March 1.

UBC responded to the strike notice by requesting mediated talks.

After three days of mediation, both parties reached a tentative deal.

The deal still has to be approved by the UBC Board of Governors. U

The decision came after spending almost $50,000 on consultations considering options for the brewery.

The AMS hopes to make the microbrewery part of the new UBC Farm Centre, which is scheduled for completion in 2017.

“I think doing it in the farm just makes way too much sense.

Although it’s a little bit down the timelines, it is building it for the future generations,” said Tayyar.

“The new SUB would have been a nice marketing tool … [but] it makes a lot more sense to do it on the farm.”

Tayyar said the farm will allow more space for brewing and storing beer. He added that the farm already grows hops and barley, which could contribute

to a unique and sustainable UBC brand of beer.

The AMS still needs to negotiate an agreement with the university to be able to use the space on the UBC Farm.

“There’s been a lot of support from the UBC executive since day one, so I’m hoping that support still exists,” said Tayyar.

AMS President Caroline Wong said she had previously hoped for a brewery in the new SUB, but the farm makes more financial sense.

However, she’s worried about the AMS now needing to reach an agreement with the university. “It will be an uphill battle for sure,” said Wong.

Dano Morrison, president of BrUBC, a brewing club on

campus, said he was “exhilarated” with the decision to put the brewery on the farm. It remains to be seen what role BruBC will have in the operations of the brewery.

“We’d be a great club to be involved with the brewery in terms of creating recipes and making sure our needs as a UBC beer enthusiast community are being met by our local craft brewery,” said Morrison.

The AMS is still looking for a third party to help run the brewery. Tayyar said a number of groups expressed interest when the brewery was slated for the new SUB, so he expects similar interest for a brewery on the farm. U —With files from Colin Chia <em>

Chinese bureaucrats to study at Sauder Ming Wong Senior News Writer

UBC has finalized a deal for Chinese government officials to come to the university and take summer classes for the next five years.

As part of a multi-year partnership, government bureaucrats from the province of Guangdong in China will be coming in groups of 25 for the next five years to study the Canadian political system at the Sauder School of Business.

“The Province of Guangdong is seeking additional training to enhance their employees’ knowledge of public administration and to gain insight into what comprises best practices in Canada,” said Sauder associate dean Bruce Wiesner in an email.

The Chinese officials, who are division directors and section chiefs within the Guangdong government, will spend 30 days at Sauder taking courses on public policy analysis. As part of the curriculum, they’ll participate in panel discussions and take field trips to government offices.

“The goal … is to help the participants grasp theories of public administration,” wrote Wiesner.

The classes will be exclusively customized for the Chinese delegates. They’ll be part of Sauder’s Chinese Executive Education pro-

The Sauder School of Business will host groups of 25 Chinese bureaucrats on exchange.

gram, a customized management training program that integrates management development, business skills, English language training and cultural immersion specifically aimed at government and business executives in China. Wiesner said clients of the program tell Sauder which areas of business they wish to learn about, and then Sauder customizes a program for them to take.

Wiesner said the amount the Guangdong officials have to pay for this program is confidential.

UBC hosting a group of Chinese government officials may be seen as controversial by some, but Wiesner doesn’t think it’s anything out of the ordinary, given UBC’s history of partnering with China. “We are pleased to be able to play a role in helping China develop its governmental institutions and exposing their leaders to best practices in Canada,” he wrote.

As part of building its international reputation, Sauder has previously worked with other Chi-

nese clients as part of its executive education program, such as Beijing Television and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.

“We’re taking action to increase international awareness of British Columbia as a high-quality education destination, paving the way for partnerships like this one,” said former B.C. Minister of Advanced Education, Innovation and Technology John Yap in a release. Yap has since resigned over a scandal involving a leaked memo.

In the release, Yap said that maintaining ties with other nations may work towards attracting international students to attend B.C. post-secondary institutions.

Over 100,000 international students contribute approximately $2 billion to the B.C. economy.

China is one of the key priority nations the B.C. government has long been courting in order to foster a long-term economic relationship, as detailed in their International Education Strategy plan. U

UBC’s department of psychology will soon be home to a centre for gambling research.

With a $2-million investment from the British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC) and the B.C. government, the centre will study the psychology of betting and gambling addictions.

“This will be one of a handful of centres worldwide dedicated to research on gambling psychology and problem gambling,” said Alan Kingstone, the head of UBC’s department of psychology, in a press release. “Much of how gambling impacts our brains and behaviour is still a mystery — so there’s a lot of important work to be done on this issue.”

Kingstone sees the centre as a novel opportunity to bring together researchers in this specific field.

“In Canada, I don’t think there’s anything like this,” said Kingstone.

Marsha Walden, the BCLC’s vice-president of strategy, transformation and social responsibility, said she hopes that with the academic credentials of UBC, the new centre will shed light on ways to identify, understand and prevent problem gambling.

Walden said research shows about 4.6 per cent of adults in Canada have some problem related to excessive gambling, with about 0.9 per cent of those categorized as severe cases.

The centre, which will be headed by an expert to be hired by the UBC psychology department, would add to current research on related topics such as judgment, decision-making and the effect of rewards.

Walden said that the centre will operate with complete academic independence from BCLC, whose involvement will be limited to one position on a steering committee.

While the BCLC has no further financial commitment, Kingstone said he hopes that the potential success of the centre will encourage future investments.

Michael Souza, a UBC psychology professor looking to start a course on the psychology of gambling, is excited by the potential of the Centre for Gambling Research. “[The] really cool thing about this centre is that it’ll open up even more opportunities for more advanced courses for people who want to study this in more depth,” said Souza.

Souza also sees the centre as a way to bridge the gap between clinical research and practice.

“We don’t want to do work just in a lab for the sake of doing it in a lab, we want it to translate and help people.… It’s all about integration and this is an opportunity to do that in the context of gambling,” said Souza.

But putting research into practice may not be so easy.

While Walden said that the BCLC would consider changing its practices to align with research findings, she also emphasized the academic nature of the research centre.

“This is about learning,” said Walden. “In the same way that there’s academic independence on UBC’s part, there’s also commercial independence on our part. So we will continue to have the right to implement decisions or findings that we see from UBC … in our business as it makes sense.”

The Centre for Gambling Research is scheduled to open this September. U

PROVINCIAL POLITICS >>

Cast your bets for the B.C. election Sauder prof’s futures market aims to predict the outcome — down to the seat Laura Rodgers News Editor

You might have some idea of what’s going on in the upcoming provincial election, but are you willing to bet on it?

Sauder professor Werner Antweiler is. Since 1993, he’s been running an elections futures market to teach his students about long- and short-selling — and how to predict election outcomes.

“It allows people to invest money into the election outcome, predicting what is the vote share the parties receive, or the share of the seats in the legislative assembly, or who will form the majority government,” said Antweiler.

“The traders try to answer the question, ‘What do you think the election outcome will be?’ And that’s a very different question from, ‘Who are you going to vote for?’” he continued.

“The traders are actually forward-looking.... They actually take the information from the polls, what they hear, what they discuss, and try to form an opinion about where the momentum is heading.”

In the currently running market to predict the outcome of this spring’s upcoming provin-

Investors in a Sauder futures market think Adrian Dix’s NDP has a 92.5 per cent chance of winning a majority government in the upcoming provincial election.

cial election, an NDP majority is trading at 92.5 per cent, while a B.C. Liberal majority is trading at six per cent. The market also predicts that the NDP will end up with 64 per cent of legislative assembly seats, the Liberals will get 26 per cent and the Conservatives will wind up with 10 per cent.

As in a real-world futures market, investors can benefit through buying a commodity they expect to rise in value, or through “short-selling” a commodity when they expect its price to drop. This means the market quickly adjusts when a surething prediction is trading below

its expected value or when an overblown prediction is trading above it.

Antweiler’s markets have a reasonably good track record. In the days leading up to the 2008 federal election, the Conservative seat prediction traded steadily at just above 40 per cent, and on

election day they picked up 36 per cent of seats. The seat prediction for the federal Liberals traded just below 30 per cent, and they wound up winning 30 per cent of seats. The Bloc Quebecois settled to trading at roughly 15 per cent, and won 11 per cent of seats.

And this isn’t the only futures market tasked with predicting election outcomes. At the University of Iowa, a market ran to predict the outcome of the 2012 U.S. presidential election, and the values of shares accurately predicted the re-election of Barack Obama. That election also saw a distinct rise in prominence for quantifiable predictions over soft punditry as marked by the ascendance of Nate Silver’s statistics-heavy (and, ultimately, heavily accurate) election prediction blog.

Antweiler hopes to use these markets to crowdsource information about other topics as well.

He’s looking at setting one up to predict yearly changes in the extent of Arctic sea ice.

“Predicting how fast the ice is shrinking has been quite difficult, and often quite wrong,” he said. “So we’re hoping that exercising crowdsourcing is going to produce some useful information.” U </em>

SHOULD YOU MOVE

5

?

the good, the bad and the ugly of independent living Why you should stay

Why you should leave

Matt Meuse

Bryce Warnes

Staff Writer

Columnist

So you want to move out. Well, I am here to tell you that it’s not worth it. Speaking as someone who has been living away from home for the better part of five years now, I urge you: you need to milk this particular teat as long as you can.

First off, you’re in university.

It’s been a while since you paid tuition in January, so here’s a quick reminder: university is really expensive. And do you know how expensive it is to live in Vancouver? Unless you have some weird romantic ideas about spending your college years living in abject poverty, you’ll be in for a substantial hit to the savings account.

You’ll be lucky to find a half-collapsed garden shed for less than $650 a month, plus utilities — and even then you’d probably be sharing the shed with a roommate or two.

Roommates! You think your sister hogging the bathroom for an hour every morning is bad? Just wait until you get some roommates. Do you like random people coming and going from your house at all hours of the day, seemingly indifferent to the squalor in which you live? Do you like the constant sound of loud sex and the smell of body odour and six-week-old take-out wafting out of the room next to yours, like some sort of Glade plug-in from hell? Do you like walking into your kitchen at 3 a.m. to be hit in the face with the overpowering stench of rubbing alcohol and finding your hairdryer and your grandma’s good casserole dish being used to make hash oil? Then let me tell you, you’ll love having roommates — and you’ll like having a landlord even more.

Speaking of casseroles, you’d better learn to love them, because after a day of busting your hump at school — and the inevitable part-time job you’ll need to pick up to pay for your extravagant independent lifestyle — you’ll be too exhausted to make anything else to eat when you get home. And don’t forget that you’ll have to buy all of your food yourself now. But don’t worry; soon enough, you’ll find out just how far you can stretch a jar of peanut butter and a flat of instant noodles.

My colleague will try to persuade you with lofty-headed arguments about rites of passage and becoming your own person, but remember: youth is limited and maturity is forever. There will come a time when living at home will start to negatively affect how other people think of you, but it is not yet that time. Now is the time to make the most of the free meals and cable TV while you can. You’ll miss them dreadfully when they’re gone.

Moving out sounds great on paper. But unless you hit the jackpot, it’s just not worth the extra stress and financial drain. University is a big commitment, with no guarantee of gainful employment on the other side. You need every bit of support you can get. Dealing with a bit of parental hassle and a few more minutes on the bus is nothing compared to the trials of living on your own. U

Living separately from your folks is a basic rite of passage. No matter how much independence your former legal guardians give you — a basement suite, your own car — you’re still in that phase of your life where you Haven’t Moved Out Yet. There is no point prolonging it.

Whether you’re in a house with roommates, living in university residence or truly going solo with a studio apartment of your own, you’re going to learn from the experience.

Sharing a house with non-relatives is a lesson in what makes you tick. You’re inevitably going to learn what you find difficult to accept in others — slovenliness, bad taste in music — as well as what others find difficult to accept in you (the two are usually the same).

Having a home comes with all kinds of banal duties that work their way into your personality, like locking the door at night and keeping the place infestation-free. It’s about situating yourself in the city and the world at large, carving out a space for yourself and caring for it. I don’t care how nice your bedroom at mom and dad’s is; it isn’t the same thing.

Then there are the obvious reasons for living alone: sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll (okay, EDM, you whippersnappers.)

You may not be a party animal, but everyone in their early 20s enjoys things their parents don’t approve of, whether it’s dancing til sunrise or bingeing on Call of Duty.

You’ll have more freedom to do those things, and hopefully learn a few lessons about moderation.

It’s all fun fun fun, right? Crazy parties and learning important life lessons like a real grown-up! But the best reason for living on your own while you go to university is more sobering.

You should live away from home now because you’ll be moving back there once you graduate. The latest stats indicate that 85 per cent of college seniors plan on returning to their childhood bedrooms once they graduate.

Why? Recent grads on the hunt for their “career” may find themselves unemployable in the barely-scraping-by sector. No 7-Eleven manager is going to hire someone full-time when everything on their resume suggests they’ll jump ship as soon as an unpaid internship in their industry of choice pops up.

Granted, as most engineers are happy to remind arts students, this is more of an issue for some programs than others.

All the same, with a sickly economy and a glut of young-and-hopefuls with bachelor degrees flooding the job market, there is a good chance you’ll find yourself living with your parents again before you reach total financial independence.

University may be your big chance to get away from the old homestead and try things on your own for a while. Nobody’s saying you’ll have to move back home for sure, but look at it this way: would you rather move out for four years and then be forced to move back home, or stay at home for four years and then find yourself unable to leave? U

<em>

<em>

So you’re sick of your overbearing parents, you’re sick of your siblings and you’re sick of commuting from Richmond every morning. You want to do it yourself. You want to make your own name. You want independence. You want to feel the wind in your hair and the warm breeze on your face. You want to move out.

Having experienced both flying solo and living with parents, two Ubyssey writers SHED some light on the benefits and pitfalls of both situations.

at a glance

The fourth-seeded UBC Thunderbirds have finished fifth place in the CIS national championships, losing against the University of Toronto and the Université de Montréal before beating Queen's.

The T-Birds gave up a controversial, late equalizing goal in their first-ever national championship game against the hosts Toronto. With Toronto on the power play and having pulled their goalie, UBC goaltender Samantha Langford was bumped into and the net knocked loose as Marlie McLaughlin tied the game at 4-4 with 34 seconds remaining. UBC lost in the shootout for a final score of 5-4.

Needing to beat the first-seeded Montréal Carabins for a place in the final, UBC went into the third period with the game tied 2-2 but couldn't hold out against the Québec champions' potent offence, conceding three goals to lose 5-2.

UBC then notched its first-ever national championships win in the fifth-place playoff, beating the Queen's Golden Gaels 2-1 with goals from Tatiana Rafter and Rebecca Unrau, the team's top two goalscorers in the regular season.

Women’s hockey dream season ends in Hogtown heartbreak UBC women’s hockey finishes fifth at CIS nationals in Toronto

C.J. Pentland Sports Editor

(TORONTO) — Not many teams can say that they won their last game of the season, but that is the case for the UBC women’s hockey team. Granted, the win didn’t come in the national final, but Sunday’s 2-1 victory over the Queen’s University Gaels saw the Thunderbirds finish in fifth place at CIS nationals in Toronto. The win over Queen’s was the team’s first-ever win at the national tournament, adding yet another first to the team’s incredible season.

A day after losing a spot in the gold medal game, the ’Birds could have easily come out in the fifth-place game without much motivation. But after a bit of a slow start, the T-Birds picked up the play in the second period. Nadine Burgess and Genevieve Carpenter-Boesch tallied just 38 seconds apart, giving UBC their first two-goal lead of the tournament.

Queen’s applied intense pressure in the third period, as they spent the majority of the frame on the power play. They finally were able to cut the lead in half when they capitalized on a five-on-three advantage, but that was as far as the Gaels would get.

Thanks to several blocked shots, numerous big saves from Samantha Langford and a few hits off the posts, the T-Birds

were able to hold on to the victory and end their season on a winning note.

“We set so many bars and a lot of history this year, and accomplished a lot of things that were never done here before, and we wanted to finish on that note as well,” said Thomas. “We wanted to win for the first time ever at a national event and representing UBC as a team to finish the year.”

Langford made her third straight start at the tournament, as she stepped up again to fill in for regular goaltender Danielle Dube, who was sidelined with pneumonia.

She made 24 saves on the night, many of which were strong pad saves with the Gaels looming around the crease and looking for a rebound.

“There were pivotal times in that game where Sam held us in,” said Thomas. “She really held down the fort for us. She was very patient in the playoffs, she supported her teammates, prepared and worked hard so when she got the call she was ready to deliver. It was amazing for her to have that accomplishment, for her to be the one to get that first nationals win for us.”

The finale also saw the end of five T-Birds’ careers. Kaitlin Imai, Emily Grainger, Kaylee Chanakos, Kelsey Halvorson and Dayle Poulin all played their last game in the UBC blue and gold

on Sunday. The victory over the Gaels was their 28th win of the season, equal to the total number of wins that UBC women’s hockey had over the past four years combined.

It was a significant win for us. Very few teams can say they finished their season with a win. These players are national champions in our eyes.

Graham Thomas Women’s hockey coach, CIS coach of the year

After such an impressive run, UBC’s season has finally come to a close. Though they didn’t win the ultimate prize in 2013 — the CIS championship — they did win a Canada West title and proved every doubter wrong by making it as far as they did.

“It was really important to represent our league, our school, and to get a victory to make history one last time for this special group,” said Thomas. “It was a significant win for us. Very few teams can say they finished their season with a win.

These players are national champions in our eyes.” U

Three standouts from this week’s national tournament will be back for next year’s campaign

the team, with the first- and second-years playing well beyond their years while taking on key roles. While they weren’t able to lead the ’Birds all the way to a national championship, their talent bodes well for the future.

The team will only lose two players next year: Plumb and O’Brian Wallace.

“Conor Morgan played 35 minutes [on Saturday], which bodes well for the rest of his career. To get that much playing time on a national stage like this is a huge learning experience, not only for him, but for all our other guys who played major minutes,” said Hanson.

The team will look to build off this experience next year, as the returning players will come back with a bitter taste in their mouths. They have now been to the national stage and know what it’s like to get so close to a national championship, and it’s undoubtedly a feeling that they won’t want to relive. Now they know what it takes to be number one. U

In a season where bounce-back efforts have been key to success, the UBC men’s basketball team couldn’t deliver at the crucial moments. The Thunderbirds dropped their consolation match against the University of Victoria Vikes on Saturday in Ottawa, losing 71-65 and seeing their season end prematurely.

The ’Birds, ranked fourth in the tournament and in the CIS top four for the entire regular season, struggled on offence throughout the contest, losing to the team that they defeated in the Canada West final last weekend. The game was tied at 61 with only 1:40 left on the clock, but UBC failed to come up with defensive stops on Victoria’s last few possessions and saw the win fall out of reach.

The ’Birds delivered a much better defensive game against Victoria than they did during Friday’s match, when they gave up 89

points to the University of Acadia, but their offence on Saturday was lacking. They shot only 35.9 per cent from the field, and their 65 points were their second-lowest point total of the season.

The loss of injured fifth-year Doug Plumb was evident throughout the entire contest. Plumb sat out after falling hard in Friday’s game and receiving 10 stitches to close a gash above his eye. Without Plumb’s ability to lead a strong offence, the T-Birds struggled to find quality shots.

“Playing without Doug today, our fifth-year leader, obviously was tough on us, but also tough on him not being able to finish his final year on the floor,” said UBC head coach Kevin Hanson.

Brylle Kamen led the T-Birds with 19 points, and rookie point guard Isaiah Soloman finished with 11 points, six assists and six rebounds. Fellow first-year Conor Morgan also had another strong game, recording eight points and 11 rebounds.

‘Hollywood north’ no more?

Local industry professionals have mounted a lobbying campaign they hope will be able to staunch the bleeding in B.C.’s beleaguered film industry

Julian Legrere Capilano Courier

Ontario and Quebec increased their domestic productions tax credits, that number has fallen to about $200 million.

Davies also worries about the long-term implications of the $300–400 million loss triggered in 2009, because the lack of productions causes a loss of film industry infrastructure, including facilities like studios and editing suites.

“Once all the infrastructure is gone from the community, they have to shut down or move to Ontario,” he said.

Once that infrastructure is gone, and the talent moves east, there’s even less incentive for revenue and job-generating American productions to come to B.C.

NORTH VANCOUVER (CUP) — If there’s one group that you can be sure has passion, it’s artists. That’s likely the reason why a rally two months ago at North Shore Studios drew over 2,000 people to hear industry experts and lobbyists speak about recent efforts to save the film industry in B.C.

The New Hollywood North Save B.C. Film, the lobby group that organized January’s rally, has been advocating on behalf of an estimated 25,000 industry professionals whose livelihoods they claim are being threatened by increased government support for the film industry in Ontario and Quebec.

The first concern is the loss of foreign, mainly American, film productions, the presence of which in the past earned Metro Vancouver the moniker “Hollywood North.”

Currently, the B.C. Production Services Tax Credit offers a credit of 33 per cent, but only for B.C. labour expenditures, whereas Ontario and Quebec offer a 25 per cent credit on all production expenditures within each respective province.

In 2011, B.C. fell to the fourthranked production centre in North America, behind Ontario. Industry advocates, including those present at the rally in January, are calling for policy changes in order to keep B.C. competitive.

Peter Leitch, president of North Shore Studios, advocated at last month’s rally for an “all spend policy” that would give foreign productions tax breaks on all production spending within B.C., rather than solely labour spending.

This policy is currently in place in Ontario and Quebec.

Premier Christy Clark defends the current policies, describing B.C.’s current $285 million tax credit as “generous.” She also calls the increased tax credits in Ontario and Quebec a “race to the bottom,” and makes it clear that she has no intention of increasing film subsidies in B.C., a position reflected in her government’s recently released budget.

Industry members contest the idea that increasing B.C.’s invest-

ment in the industry would create a bottomless subsidy climate, because according to Brian Hamilton, a vice-president at Omnifilm, American productions prefer B.C. due to its better infrastructure and talent pool.

Leitch said that American clients who have worked with North Shore Studios have told him the same

things. “We don’t need to match Ontario and Quebec, we just need to be competitive,” he said to the rally crowd.

productions, to the tune of 35 per cent. In 2009, Quebec and Ontario both raised their incentives to match that 35 per cent. According to Jackson Davies, vice-president of the Union of B.C. Performers and an instructor at Capilano University, B.C. saw about $500–600 million worth of domestic film production annually prior to 2009, but since

As part of the Save B.C. Film campaign, a petition circulating online has gained over 30,000 signatures, and a poll funded by the Motion Picture Production Industry Association of B.C. has reflected fairly strong public support as well.

According to the poll, 56 per cent of British Columbian adults believe the province should “encourage strong growth” of the film industry, just behind the 67 per cent who believe in promoting growth of the tourism industry.

In addition to more funding for tax incentives, industry leaders such as Brian Hamilton would like to see B.C. create some sort of body to liaise between the government and the film industry, similar to the Ontario Media Development Corporation (OMDC).

“Where is our ministry?” Hamilton demanded at January’s rally, to rousing applause from the crowd.

B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix has expressed support for a government ministry to support the creative sector, similar to the OMDC, though neither his party nor anyone from the industry seems to have a viable plan as to how that would work or how much it might cost.

Ultimately, the implications of a declining industry would be undeniable.

“I know acting is a risky profession to go into,” said Aaron Stewart, an acting student at Capilano, “but this just makes it even harder to secure a living doing what I love.”

Alberta cuts university funding U of A scrambles as resourcedry budget slashes postsecondary by 6.8 per cent Michelle Mark The Gateway (University of Alberta)

EDMONTON — The University of Alberta received a shock Thursday afternoon as the provincial government announced a 7.2 per cent — $43 million — cut to the university’s base operating grant instead of last year’s promised two per cent increase.

This comes along with a $147-million cut — 6.8 per cent — across the entire Alberta university sector.

The University of Alberta would have required a four per cent increase to the grant just to cover the cost of inflation, not including a $12 million structural deficit the university has accumulated.

Shortly after the budget was announced, U of A President Indira Samarasekera said she was horrified at the severity of the cut, which she said came without warning and will affect the institution’s quality.

“I was very surprised.... We’ve been asking for about two months, ‘Give us some numbers so we can plan,’” she said.

“Quite frankly, there’s going to be a very significant reduction in quality of the student experience.”

Since the U of A has already based their 2013-14 budget and yearly plan on a presumed two per cent increase to the school’s operating grant, their plans for the next year will now require revision.

Although Samarasekera said it’s still too early to tell how student enrolment may be affected or what types of program cuts will have to be made, the administration has already been putting plans in place.

“We intend to make the University of Alberta stronger throughout this, not weaker,” she said.

“I am going to do everything I can to ensure we come out of this a stronger, more vibrant institution, even if it means that certain services for certain kinds of students may not be there.”

Students’ Union President Colten Yamagishi said although the provincial government supports the current tuition cap, which ties increases to inflation, students will still be affected and will face uncertainty through possible raises to mandatory non-instructional fees.

“This is going to be huge, not only for the institution, but for students,” he said.

AMS may be kicking a metaphorical hornet’s nest with farm rezoning The AMS has recently, finally and unexpectedly agreed to finance a student-run brewery at the UBC Farm. It’s the first positive, concrete development to materialize in the quest for a student-run brewery, but what does it mean for the farm it’ll be built on?

Once upon a time (starting in 1997, up until 2008-ish), UBC considered the farm a “future housing reserve.” All of that lovely land used to grow the organic kale that shows up in those coveted CSA boxes was slated to become yet another sea of condos.

But back in those mythical days, UBC students were louder and angrier, and they tended to band together more often. So they started a protest movement to save the entire 24-hectare farm from development forever, rather than just leaving few greenhouses in whatever area wasn’t needed for glass towers.

They held rallies, marches, concerts, petitions. Support for the farm stretched beyond its kombucha-swilling base and became one of the most widely embraced campus causes in recent memory.

And the cause was embraced outside of UBC, too: the board of Metro Vancouver voiced their support for the farm, as did superstar local-food pundit Michael Pollan.

And then, facing overwhelming pressure, UBC capitulated.

In 2008, they promised to back off on any possibility of future market housing in the area.

In 2011 the farm was officially zoned “Green Academic,” precluding any market developments in the future.

But the plan to open up a commercial brewery on the farm poses a potential snag.

In a pair of documents outlining UBC’s official stance and plan for the Farm going into the future, there’s no mention of a

large-capacity brewery project.

The AMS is already starting to express concern that UBC might need to “reopen” or amend its Land Use Plan in order to accommodate an ambitiously sized brewery.

Let’s hope today’s students are up to the task of defending the purpose of the farm as passionately and aggressively as their forebears were. Because we just might still need it.

Come on, Toope. Say you want a subway Vancouver mayor Gregor Robertson, an elected official, is currently in the middle of a major, potentially risky campaign: trying to get a Broadway subway line built from Commericial Drive to UBC. It’s risky because the city has no power to get the subway built; the decision to fund the project will likely be made in Victoria, not at our city hall. So if the next provincial government doesn’t dig the idea

Apparently, although Toope appeared at a press conference promoting a subway line, Toope himself (and the rest of UBC, by extension?) doesn’t support a subway line per se.

No, Toope likes the idea of rapid transit out to UBC, but he doesn’t care whether it goes above ground or below it.

And to this, we say bah.

C’mon Toope, put your subway where your mouth is. If you’re going to ride the media wave started by Robertson and co., don’t expect that you can turn around at the last minute and say you never actually wanted to promote the thing you were ostensibly there to promote.

A underground subway tunnel is a more expensive option, but it’ll also be better-suited to accommodate a rise in ridership if, say, UBC raises enrolment, hires more staff and becomes more densely populated. And those definitely aren’t things Toope wants to happen, right?

So stop being timid. Take an actual goddamn position on this and enter the fray.

(sorry!), Robertson’s reputation could fall in voters’ eyes.

UBC President Stephen Toope accompanied Robertson at a press conference to promote the subway project. Well, sort of. The purpose of the press conference has now been called into question — courtesy of UBC Public Affairs.

ceiling.

Turns out the reason water was dripping through the ceiling was because there was a much larger pool of water accumulating over the stall.

At some point last Wednesday, the ceiling over the stall collapsed. The result: wet debris covering the entire stall. The stall is still closed for maintenance.

Just when we thought the SUB’s plumbing was under control, brown sludge began dripping from the ceiling outside the bubble tea place on Friday.

The AMS has gone out of their way to create a marketing campaign to promote the old SUB. They should probably put more effort into making sure it isn’t falling apart. U

To celebrate TED’s 30th anniversary, TED is moving its annual conference from Long Beach to Vancouver. Our city couldn’t be a more fitting locale. Like TED, Vancouver’s elitism and privilege is thinly veiled by its idealistic but unthreatening faux-progressivism.

It may surprise you that $7,500 is the price for a front-row seat to TED’s “ideas worth spreading,” but where else can you meet thought-leaders at super-charged networking events, like TED2013’s “organic local cuisine under the stars in an isolated desert canyon”?

There is some value in local, independently organized TEDx events (I organize the TEDx Terry Talks), but the main TED conference has become completely insufferable.

When I first started to watch TED talks, I thought this interesting new medium might help to make challenging ideas more accessible. However, TED is anything but challenging; it is intellectual pablum that has done little more than create a bloated ideas industry. Dominated by a culture of feel-good techno-utopian do-good millionaires, most TED talks over-simplify complex global problems and offer quick technological fixes.

I am not the first person to raise these concerns, though; it has become almost cliché. TED talks are “intellectually pretentious and almost industrialized in their production” (Globe and Mail ), “quick hits of epiphany from our pundit overlords,... a one-night stand with ideas” ( Harvard Business Review ) and “a massive, money-soaked orgy of self-congratulatory futurism” ( Salon). The philosopher Daniel Dennett even went so far as to suggest that TED has become something of a religion, observing that it “already, largely wittingly I think, adopted a lot of the key design features of good religions.”

However, a simple takedown of TED’s self-congratulatory culture would miss the mark: its flaws are more fundamental than that.

TED’s biggest weakness is its unwavering commitment to a unique brand of feel-good, please-everyone techno-optimism.

For instance, take global poverty. Typical TED answers include giving the rural poor access to cell phones and laptops. Like the missionaries of old who believed Africans could lift themselves out of poverty if only they had enough Bibles, these millionaire missionaries think iPads might do the trick.

But this feel-good fix entirely </em>

<em>

<em>

</em>

removes the many real political issues that underlie the problem, like weak institutions, corrupt regulators, unfair trade deals, unsafe working conditions and exploitative multinational corporations.

Another popular idea is micro-finance, which tells a similar feel-good story of how wealthy philanthropists can use an exciting new financial innovation to help the poor help themselves. However, to borrow a phrase from Evgeny Morozov, micro-finance demonstrates how TED’s “idea worth spreading” have become “ideas no footnotes can support.”

I just produced an extensive radio-documentary on micro-finance for the Terry Project Podcast, and we found no scholarly evidence that micro-finance has any capacity to lift a society out of poverty. However, we did find that the industry capitalized on TED-style optimism to fuel a micro-finance bubble, with some micro-finance profiteers charging the poor 4,000 per cent interest (that is not a typo), and others intimidating their clients to the point that it caused a spate of suicides.

But you are never going to watch a TED talk about micro-finance suicides or micro-finance millionaires, or other such messy issues that might leave you feeling confused, guilty, overwhelmed, angry or offended.

The best demonstration of this came from none other than Chris Anderson himself, TED’s chief curator. Anderson decided not to publish a Nick Hanauer TED talk that advocated for aggressive income redistribution through taxation. When Hanauer accused Anderson of censorship, Anderson replied by denigrating Hanauer’s talk for being “partisan head-butting” that would make “a lot of business managers and entrepreneurs feel insulted.”

Therein lies TED’s fundamental flaw. Chris Anderson thinks TED can have its cake, but eat it too: radically transform the world and keep everyone happy while doing it. Unfortunately, the solutions to complex global problems will not always please everyone. Issues like poverty or climate change have their villains, and a real solution would strip those villains of their privileges.

However, I wouldn’t expect to hear those sorts of ideas at an elite conference like TED, because many of those same people will be in attendance. Best that TED feature some venture capitalist with an idea for combating poverty with 3D printers, because we wouldn’t want to upset the feel-good vibe with an honest conversation about justice, oppression or privilege.

Remembering the fight to save the Grassy Knoll PERSPECTIVES

by Aron Rosenberg

On the night of April 4, 2008, 19 UBC students were arrested for obstructing peace officers following a day-long concert meant to protest a proposed construction plan. Students believed the plan had been poorly thought out and pushed through without consultation.

The project would have seen the grassy knoll beside the Student Union Building (currently a part of the construction of the new SUB) turned into an underground bus loop featuring commercial space and a private condominium complex on top. Beyond just protesting the idea of turning a public area of campus into a private space where students would not be welcome unless they were spending or had spent money, the construction project also had the following downsides: the new bus loop would not be able to accommodate trolley busses or bicycles on the fronts of busses.

Another downside was that the condominiums that were to be built on top of the new bus loop would have raised the price of real estate across campus. Most of the people who would be able to afford these condos at the heart of campus would probably not have been students. For all these reasons,

This spring marks the fifth anniversary of the Trek Park protests. On April 4, 2008, 19 students were arrested when an anti-development action centred on the grassy knoll got out of hand.

and because it’s fun to organize outdoor musical celebrations for any cause, a group of students without any definitive leadership held a concert by the knoll to raise awareness about the downsides of the proposed construction project.

At one point early in the evening, a bonfire was lit. The fire department was called and instead of asking anyone to put out the fire, the firefighters approached aggressively with their hoses. Fearing that they were planning on using the hoses

for crowd control, then–AMS VP External Stef Ratjen approached the officers to ask what they were planning. Instead of speaking to her, though, the fire department sprayed Ratjen, knocking her to the ground. They proceeded to arrest her while holding her head in a puddle of dirty water. Outraged, several spectators gathered in a link of bodies surrounding Ratjen.

People tried to reason with the officers, suggesting that Ratjen had not done anything wrong and that the situation did not need to escal-

ate. The officers relented and let Ratjen free. Meanwhile, though, they had gone and arrested one of the musicians who had performed during the day’s concert protest, a man known as Icarus. Allegedly, Icarus assaulted a police officer.

Supporters linked their bodies around the cop car and asked the police to let Icarus go. The police did not listen but rather called in reinforcements. With around 100 police, peace and RCMP officers on the scene, the police came into the fray and dragged 19 limp-bod-

ied peaceful protesters away from the cop car so that it could take Icarus to the police station. The students who were surrounding the car —including at least one student who was not involved but had just happened by on his bicycle — were also taken away and spent the next 24 hours in jail at Main and Hastings.

The response on campus was mixed. Some supported the protestors’ actions, but some protested the protestors: several students showed up on the knoll a few days after the protest with shovels and began digging. Although those arrested attempted to defend themselves and complained about what they felt had been unjust treatment by police using excessive force, they were more concerned with their pending charges, bail agreements and potential permanent records.

Regardless, looking at campus today, there is no underground bus loop, no commercial space and no private residences in the centre of campus. In fact, the knoll has been partially saved to be incorporated into the new SUB. Whether or not the new SUB construction project has issues that require protesting, though, is for a new generation of engaged students to decide. U —Rosenberg was among the 19 arrested at the Trek Park protests.

He is finishing a second degree at UBC. <em>
