UBC janitor Ramil Ingeniero is cleaning up campus one room at a time Leo Soh Contributor

Every member of our vibrant UBC community is integral to its health; and at the heart of campus hygiene are the janitors who work hard to keep the buildings sanitary.

The janitors at UBC hail from all over the globe, and all have compelling stories to tell. Ramil Ingeniero, whose work is primarily to clean the Auditorium Annex Buildings located behind Koerner Library, has performed the job for almost 10 years, having started in 2005.

Ingeniero has lived in Vancouver since 1987, but was born on the other side of the globe in the Philippines. He immigrated here with his parents, having been sponsored for residence by his sister who was working as a nurse in the city at the time.

They were followed by many of his family members who now live in the Lower Mainland.

After completing high school in Vancouver, Ingeniero attended UBC for a short while, but was never keen on a life in academics. Nevertheless, he always respected the academic lifestyle, and is extremely proud of his daughter, who is in her second year at UBC and is set to major in microbiology.

“Since I’m doing this job, I’m happy that she’s doing something academic. She’s really into it. I didn’t like school,” Ingeniero said.

Being employed by the university, Ingeniero can support her academic career in a big way. His daughter is compensated for 12 credits of her courses each year.

“Most of our crew, the people in our department, are like me: not born here. They come from all different places. The nice thing about it is that most of their kids will be going to school here and getting those benefits,” Ingeniero said.

As a professional, Ingeniero has to be punctual and hard-working. He comes in at 7:00 a.m. every morning, and works until noon. His daily routine goes something like this: unlock the entrances to the building to which he is assigned, clean the washrooms, classrooms, and hallways, then vacuum the building floors.

Don’t compare these tasks to your average household chores: the Auditorium Annex Building has more washrooms than the average 4000 square foot home and countless rooms on three separate floors which he has to keep clean.

Over his 10 years working on campus, Ingeniero has had many strange experiences.

One morning, he arrived at the building and found a skunk who had sprayed indoors, causing the whole building to stink for the next few days. People complained, but in this instance, he couldn’t do anything about it.

Thinking back now, he remembers the experience fondly, and shares a laugh every time he tells the story.

When asked about the hardest aspect of working as a janitor, Ingeniero replied that every winter brings a fresh season of tracked mud, wet floors, and stressed students who never fail to make a mess in the buildings.

“During the wintertime, especially when it snows, the buildings get really dirty so you have to work harder,” he said.

Students can help the janitors by making use of the rugs when entering a building, and paying more attention to the impact they are having on their study space.

Ingeniero knows, however, that he is in a good place, and truly enjoys the positive change he brings to the community.

“Compared to working at a restaurant or something it’s a lot better; [UBC] is a good atmosphere to work.” U

Broadway Line benefits up for discussion among students

Anti-date rape nail polish sparks debate at UBC Brush it on, reach into your drink, and swirl your fingers. Did it change colour?

That indicates the presence of a date-rape drug... or at least that’s the idea behind the new anti-date-rape nail polish that North Carolina State University (NCSU) students are developing.

The problem is that the product may not be able to do as it claims.

“Unfortunately, I have doubts,” said Glenn Sammis, an organic chemistry professor at UBC. “The possibilities for a false positive will be very high, especially considering the different types of juices, milk products, wines and liquors that are present in mixed drinks ... GHB is even found naturally in many wines.”

Additionally, the complexity of each drug makes it unlikely a one-stop-shop detection is possible, said Sammis.

“There are other precursors to GHB that have very different structures and will unlikely be able to be detected by the nail polish,” said Sammis. “Even in the unlikely event that the nail polish is selective for GHB, it will not be able to detect anything else.”

Despite this, the NCSU students claim their product will detect GHB, Rohypnol and Xanax.

For many, the appeal of this product is easy to see. A 2009 study in the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) concluded that drug-facilitat-

The date-rape drug detecting nail polish in development by students at NCSU is rumoured to be ineffective.

ed sexual assault is a “common problem,” and that students are in the higher risk group. In the study, 20.9 per cent of cases involved suspected drug-facilitated sexual assaults. But it was overwhelmingly alcohol, marijuana and cocaine that were detected. And only one-fifth of those victims showed signs of drugs that they had not voluntarily consumed. This is difficult to measure, however, since the CMAJ’s studies look at victims up to 72 hours after the incident, while the presence of a drug like GHB is undetectable after 24 hours.

Ashley Bentley of UBC’s Sexual Assault Support Centre (SASC) has her own reservations about the product and its social implications.

“There’s already a lot of victim blaming that goes on within our society,” said Bentley. “[If ] someone wears this nail polish and is still sexually assaulted, is that setting them up for more victim blaming?”

She commends the efforts of the creators, but feels that the product may contribute further to placing the onus on individ-

uals to take responsibility for themselves, when it should be directed towards education.

Despite this, she isn’t completely against it. “If it’s something that helps [people] feel empowered, then it’s absolutely fine ... but sexual assault is an epidemic, and a nail polish isn’t going to solve that.”

The company developing the nail polish, Undercover Colors, is still in the development stages.

Their latest Facebook update was August 28, and there is no predicted release date posted. U

UBC-O offers only forensic psychology program of its kind in Canada

File Photo geoff lister/THE UBYSSEY

UBC Okanagan is currently the only university in Canada to offer a forensic psychology specialization.

Lawrence Neal Garcia Contributor

UBC Okanagan is the only university in Canada to currently offer a specialization in forensic psychology.

After starting the specialization at Dalhousie University in 2001, Stephen Porter restarted the program at UBC Okanagan in 2009 when the original one was discontinued.

The specialization gives honours psychology students a sharper background in the role of psychologists in the law, psychological aspects of crime, as well as risk of violence among offenders and health issues among victims.

On top of completing an honours degree in psychology,

students in the specialization are required to write a thesis in forensic psychology and complete two 160-hour practica.

“What makes [the specialization] unique is that it gives undergraduates an opportunity to do some research in the area of psychology and law and also to get applied experience in the field,” said Porter. “It’s a real combination of science and application.”

Porter cites the practical portion of the program as a large draw for students since it gives them an advantage relative to students outside the program.

For Megan Udala, a graduate of the program who worked at a halfway house in Kelowna and

in the Icelandic prison system for each of her two practica, that was certainly the case.

While the Porter and other faculty members actively set up practicum placements, students are also allowed to submit potential ideas for approval.

“It’s been an evolving process,” said Porter. “It’s really flexible. We’re just trying to get as many high-quality practicum sites as possible.”

Aside from academic requirements, admission is based on the availability of potential thesis supervisors and practicum placements. Students are also assessed through a lengthy selection interview — or what Porter jokingly calls the “asshole screen.”

Given the demanding requirements of the program and limited supervisor availability, only about four students are admitted each year.

For Udala, both the size and rigour of the program are to its advantage.

“It’s a small program and it’s competitive, so you’re really getting one-on-one training with your professors and the community,” said Udala.

While the majority of graduates from the forensic psychology specialization proceed to graduate school, Porter names probation work, social work and even medical school as other routes students have taken.

Udala herself, who is currently working on a master’s degree in experimental psychology, is open to a number of career routes including research, teaching, mentoring other grad students, consulting, pursuing a clinical practice or obtaining a Ph.D, opportunities that follow from the nature of the program.

Given the kind of opportunities afforded by the forensic psychology specialization, some wonder why there aren’t more programs like it in Canada.

According to Porter, the question comes down to the number of faculty at different university departments with an interest in forensic psychology.

“It just turned out that [at UBCO] we have this group of faculty who have this common interest in psychology and law that allows this kind of program to happen,” said Porter. “It’s not that there isn’t the interest… It’s a lack of opportunity.” U

Plans for the Broadway Line are up in the works, but it’ll be up to the voters to decide whether a rapid subway line that does not go all the way to UBC is worth paying for.

The current project proposal involves a $1.9 billion subway line that would go across Broadway from Commercial to Arbutus.

While the line currently cuts off before UBC, it is possible that the next 10-year stage of the project will include an extension to campus.

Maria Harris, director of the Metro Vancouver Electoral Area A, said the decision on whether the subway line will get built is hanging on a promise of funding from the province and federal government as well as an official transit referendum that is set to be held in March.

“If we get a yes on those things, then we have the funding and the revenue sources that will be required to build the rapid transit as far as Arbutus and also to design the continuation out to UBC,” said Harris.

Still, Harris said that the current proposal of the subway line will help reduce traffic along the Broadway corridor and make it easier for students who are commuting to campus to transfer buses quickly.

“I think it’s not the full step,” said Harris. “We know we need to get to UBC. But it’s certainly a big step in the right direction and looking at the needs all over the region, I would jump for this.”

According to Harris, the voice of the students will be essential to determining the next steps for the Broadway Line.

“If we insist on perfect, then we might get nothing,” said Harris. “So let’s say yes to the referendum even if we’re saying yes to something that definitely needs improvement.”

However, some students have expressed concerns about whether the current proposal will benefit those who are commuting to campus.

Alexandra Chessman, a third year psychology student, said that while the proposed version of the Broadway Line would help students who commute from further east, it will not do much to reduce congestion at or after the Arbutus stop.

“Commuting is a hassle from most distances because the buses are often congested or become congested as the route gets closer to UBC,” said Chessman. “I feel that all commuters would benefit more if the line went all the way to campus — it just makes more sense.”

Arjun Venkatesh, second-year applied science student, said that while the subway line may at first be just another transfer that students need to make on the way to UBC, it is a necessary step in the overall expansion of the city.

“I think UBC does eventually need a line connecting it to the SkyTrain system not only to help students commute and reduce traffic along that corridor but also because Vancouver is still a young growing city which needs to be interconnected,” said Venkatesh. U

Remembering David Huynh

By Veronika Bondarenko

A

s the highest point in Stanley Park, Prospect Point attracts millions of locals and tourists for some of the most stunning views of the waters of the Pacific Ocean and Vancouver’s skyline.

On July 26, UBC student David Huynh had been hanging out at Prospect Point with a group of friends.

It was during this time that David’s friends noticed that he had separated from the group and began to look for him.

Not long after 6 p.m., David’s body was found by the RCMP 70 metres below on the Seawall, where he had fallen from one of the area’s many cliffs. While there was a doctor and nurse present who rushed to revive David before the paramedics arrived, their efforts were to no avail. David’s passing was confirmed at the scene.

A commerce student at the Sauder School of Business, David was described as a driven, passionate and remarkably kind individual by friends and classmates. He was also a community leader who was actively involved with the Commerce Undergraduate Society, Sigma Chi fraternity and JDC West, Western Canada’s largest business competition.

In the past year, David became highly involved with JDC West, where he co-captained a team of 50 Sauder students alongside Sauder graduate Chloe Tarbet. She has known David since he first started at UBC, but it was the time they spent as co-captains that truly cemented their friendship.

“Though David and I were really serious about our deep passion for bringing out the potential in others, we had so much fun with it and made sure our team had the best possible experience,” said Tarbet. “As we grew the team and the Sauder JDCW program, David and I also grew to become best friends.”

During the time that they spent together as friends, Tarbet has never stopped marveling at David infectious spirit for life.

“David’s combination of brilliance and compassion for others is unlike any other person that I know — his thinking was on such a different level and, at the same time, he connected with others on the most genuine level,” said Tarbet.

Elisabeth Piccolo, a fifth-year commerce student who first met David

when they were living in Totem Residence during their first year at UBC, described him as a “campus superstar” who never missed an opportunity to both better himself and help others. “[David] worked incredibly hard to make things happen — there was no luck in his life, everything he achieved was through hard work,” said Piccolo. “I’m never going to forget him telling me to do what makes me happy. It’s such an easy thing to lose sight of, and a beautiful way to live life.”

According to Piccolo, David had been accepted into a prestigious summer program earlier in the year, but turned it down after realizing that it was not what he really wanted to do. Instead, David accepted an internship as a consultant at HSBC Global Change

David’s combination of brilliance and compassion for others is unlike any other person that I know

Delivery, a role that he felt truly passionate about. “[David] was an incredibly intelligent, kind and outgoing individual,” said Piccolo. “He would get his hair cut every two weeks, like clockwork. This attribute served him well, as his careful attention to life’s little details are what ensured he excelled in and managed multiple classes, TA positions and extracurriculars, as well as a hearty social life full of friends who loved him.”

Mehak Singh Batra was one of the students in an accounting class where David worked as a TA and also knew David as a member of Sigma Chi. “David was one of the most energetic individuals that I met,” said Batra. “He was very passionate about the subject matter that he taught our accounting class.”

Harsev Oshan, also a member of Sigma Chi, was paired up as David’s little brother upon first joining the Greek System. According to Oshan, David has never stopped looking out for him during their time at the fraternity.

“David was that guy who would

cross the street to come and say hi to you even though he is in a hurry,” said Oshan. “He was that guy whose smile would just brighten your day up, he was that guy who genuinely cared about you without expecting anything in return.”

Oshan also remembered the way that David would regularly go out of his way to help others, even when he was overwhelmed with schoolwork himself.

“David was too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble,” said Oshan.

“Although his time with us was short, his passion, encouragement and his inspiration will never be forgotten.”

David’s best friend and fifthyear sociology student Mitch Lesyk has known David since elementary school in Abbotsford, where they both grew up. Lesyk and David have been playing rugby together since Grade 7 and made the B.C. Rugby Team together in Grade 8.

According to Lesyk, David was also involved in many other activ-

ities during his time at Rick Hansen Secondary School, including the student mentoring program Link Leaders and football.

David was too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble David’s passion for staying active had remained with him throughout university.

David’s girlfriend and thirdyear finance student Jasmine Chan also described the way that he would make time to work out at the BirdCoop in the school year and the HSBC workplace gym in the summer despite an ACL injury.

“David always found a way to care for his health and well-being, a value that he placed with high priority,” said Chan.

“Not only was he dedicated to his well-being, he cared for that of others, encouraging them to join him in workout sessions and low impact outdoor activities around the city.”

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 2014

Lesyk remembered the many times when David and his friends would stay at his house for so long that they ended up sleeping over. In university, Lesyk and David were roommates for three years and would routinely go to Dentry’s Pub or play video games as a way of catching up when their lives got too busy.

“After rugby games, JDC West case practices, work and school … when David came home, he knew it was time to game,” said Lesyk.

“It was our relax time, bro time, chatting time, catch-up time.”

Lesyk also described how David’s deep love and commitment for his family touched every aspect of his life.

“His little brother was a grade below us,” said Lesyk. “[David] always looked out for him. When he was going through rough times, he was always there to support him.”

According to Chan, David would see his family as a constant source of inspiration and draw upon the values that he had learned during his upbringing throughout the course of his life.

“David’s family was his largest motivation in life — he would always say that he just wanted to make his family proud,” said Chan. “He cared deeply for each of his four siblings, helping them out in whatever way he could and prioritizing his time to hang out with them.”

David’s lifelong commitment to helping and inspiring others carried over into a countless number of meaningful relationships with teachers, students and friends at UBC that will never be forgotten by those who knew him.

“David was such a unique business student, as he saw all his relationships — family, friends, professors, mentors, managers, fellow students — as the most important and most valuable investment of his time,” said Tarbet. “This exact mindset is what allowed David to live as one of the happiest people I know — he brought a whole new definition to the word success.”

A celebration of David’s life was held on July 30, at the spot right below Lions Gate Bridge on the Seawall. Flowers, candles and photos with hand-written notes that described the ways that David touched the lives of his friends and family lined the Seawall at sunset.

A second memorial service marking the start of the school year was held in front of the Henry

Angus Building at UBC on September 7.

In memory and honour of his life, David’s family and friends are in the process of establishing a scholarship that will recognize a business student with a passion for student development and community building. They are currently trying to raise $30,000 in order to keep the scholarship running yearly. U

Consent while sexting is sexy as hell

ilustration julian yu/THE UBYSSEY

Sending a naked photo isn’t as uncommon as it might seem; make sure you get consent

Jenica Montgomery Culture Editor

Sex is taboo. It has been taboo for a long time. And yet people feel completely comfortable airing their dirty laundry in the virtual world.

Lately, sexting has been at the forefront of people’s minds with the recent celebrity nude photo scandal, crudely dubbed as “The Fappening” by part of the Reddit community.

“My understanding of sexting is that it’s a text conversation between two people who may be interested in pursuing some kind of sexual activity. Whether they’re in a relationship, [or] it’s more of like a casual thing; just to kind of express sexual interest in each other,” said Ashley Bentley, the acting manager of the AMS Sexual Assault Support Centre.

Sexting includes naughty text messages, nude photos and every-

thing in between. With technology, especially smartphones, becoming an increasingly embedded part of student life, it comes as no surprise that partners are engaging in sexual intimacy through the virtual world.

“I think people would rather text instead of call someone, or even have an in-person conversation.

[Technology] is affecting that ability to connect regarding consent and regarding setting those boundaries ‘cause it’s really hard to do that over a text message and to do it effectively,” said Bentley It can be exhilarating to receive a dirty text message from a crush or your partner, but it can also be scary, and even intimidating.

Defining boundaries and getting consent when you start a new conversation is key to encouraging a safe and fun sexting conversation.

“Making sure that even if it is someone that you met one night in

a bar or if it’s someone that you’re in an ongoing relationship with, or if it’s an ongoing hookup basis, that you are communicating what you’re ok with and what you’re not ok with, really setting those boundaries,” said Bentley.

Though getting consent isn’t the most fun, it’s important to continuously communicate your boundaries, wants and needs. Bentley, as a keen advocate of consent, said “reality is that you can say yes and then say no later with consent. And your boundaries may change and shift.”

The unfortunate truth is that many people are using what should be private text messages or photos as a form of shaming. Having photos shared publicly by your partner, ex-partner or even a complete stranger is a danger that lurks in the back of every sexter’s mind.

Most recently, many comments and discourse surrounding leaked celebrity nude photos include victim blaming and attempts at shaming the victims who took private photos, rather than asking ourselves who is really to blame.

“It’s taking away peoples control over their own bodies, it’s taking away their own agency of their bodies and it’s almost using that image as a consumer product, it’s exploiting people’s rights and basically putting their images into a like a consumerist culture for other people to view,” said Bentley.

Sexting is just another step in sexual intimacy in a world where technology drives our social — and our sex — lives. If you and your partner(s) chose to participate in sending naughty text messages, negotiating consent and boundaries is key to avoiding unwelcome problems.

“I don’t think there’s anything shameful in sharing nude photographs of yourself, as long as you’re just mindful of the context in which you’re doing that,” said Bentley. U

UBC Feminist Club wants more engagement on campus

UBC Feminist Club Executives want to make feminism personal.

Maitrayee Dhaka Contributor

UBC is gaining a new club this year, the UBC Feminist Club.

Currently not associated with the AMS, the UBC Feminist club hopes to bring feminism to the students of UBC. “There is a lack of feminist community on campus,” said Cheneil Antony-Hale, fourthyear political science student and president of the newly formed UBC Feminist Club. Antony-Hale and a few friends started the club in light of last year’s Sauder FROSH rape chant and the sexual assaults that affected our campus to address “the greater issue that a lot of people are afraid to call themselves feminists and that really impedes progress on gender issues.”

“We wanted a community on campus that was really inclusive and people feel welcomed,” said Evelyn Cranston, a thirdyear environmental geography student and the communications lead of the UBC Feminist Club.

“It wasn’t like this crazy thing — totally radical notion. We’re a group on campus holding fun events and spreading education.”

The club’s upcoming events include workshops and speaker series from experts and experienced social workers. Topics include Gender Fluidity and Sexuality, Understanding Privilege and Intersectionality 101. The club will also be hosting trivia nights and petition campaigns.

The club hopes to both unify and connect existing social activists to facilitate projects and engage students.

“There are a lot of social activists [on campus],” said Antony-Hale. “But it feels like we are all kind of spread out and dispersed — not really connected.

We are hoping to create a centralized place for social activists and feminists alike.”

Engaging students in social activism isn’t an easy task.

Cranston and Antony-Hale both stressed the importance of bringing people together in non-confrontational face-to-face spaces to encourage education,

conversation and debate. This is in contrast to online forums and social media outlets, which Cranston said “can come off as more confrontational than it needs to be,” particularly for those who perhaps haven’t studied rigorous academic feminist theory.

“They post something and then automatically someone goes and attacks them as “How dare you say that?” and they’re like “I had no idea.” And so then they stop posting altogether and stay away from that stuff,” said Antony-Hale.

“It’s okay if you don’t know — everyone was at that point sometime,” Cranston added. Cranston noted that Facebook-based forums UBC Confessions and UBC Needs Feminism see a rise in engagement when there’s an increase in campus activism, but hopes that the club will soften the community and bring together people on a more personal level and provide a welcoming and patient environment to learn in.

The club is currently in the process of qualifying as an AMS club. There are concerns regarding similarities with the SASC and Womyn’s Centre, but Antony-Hale and Cranston are hopeful.

Antony-Hale is literally putting her money on this initiative, providing an initial investment in the club from her own personal bank account. “[I] believe this is something that really needs to get going and hopefully we will make enough from membership to pay me back,” said Antony-Hale.

She looks forward to more people being enthusiastic about calling themselves feminists, and ultimately progressing on gender issues.

“I call them gender issues because they’re not just women’s issues — domestic abuse, sexual assault — thats not just a women’s issue. It’s also a mens issue,” said Antony-Hale.

“I wanted to start a club so that everyone would be like ‘Yeah it’s so cool to be a feminist’ and ‘I’m a feminist and I’m a dude or lady or trans-individual.’” U

How to survive university like a champ Jenica Montgomery Culture Editor

You’ve finally moved out of your parents’ house and you’ve had that first taste of what freedom really feels like. No one to tell you what to do, or watch over your shoulder and remind you that of course you’re doing it wrong. This change, though exciting, can be pretty daunting. We’ve compiled some easy tips on how to be an adult at university.

I know, it’s cliche, and you most likely hear it from everyone — including your mom, but sometimes you really have to put your nose to the grindstone and get your work done. So you might as well try to keep up with your classes as much as possible.

That being said, don’t study too hard.Take advantage of everything university has to offer, including your studies.

Buy a day planner, write out all of your assignments, communicate with others about what needs to get done, and keep yourself up to date on all of your upcoming engagements.

Make sure you have some fun in your life. If all you do is work, you’ll end up miserable. Plan outings with friends, movie nights, parties, etc. Without a social life you’ll be lonely and far too attached to the baristas at your local Starbucks.

The best and most successful people are those who can strike a balance between their social life, their work and their sleep.

Whether it’s parties on campus or drinks with friends off, nothing will help you destress after a long week more than a night on the town in your favourite dancing shoes.

This is your university mantra: Instant ramen is your friend. Here are some of the best ways to up your ramen game.

Invest in some processed cheese slices. Throw it on top of your ramen once it’s cooked and you’ll have some deliciously cheesy ramen.

Add an egg to your ramen; not only will provide more protein, but it will also add more flavour to your noodles.

Lastly, add vegetables. Buy a bag of frozen vegetables, or stir-fry vegetables and throw them in.

Your ramen will be more hearty and keep you fuller for longer.

Half of the symbols on the tag of your sweater don’t make sense and you have no idea whether or not you’re going to accidentally shrink something.

First off, Google the symbols.

Your laundry will make significantly more sense once you do.

Secondly, if you’re scared that something might shrink, hang it up to dry. And finally, separate your laundry. While its a comic trope that your laundry will come out pink because you put a red sock in with your whites; it really does happen and you don’t want to be the butt of your friends’ jokes.

Nothing will make you feel older than when you make a conscious decision to go to bed before 10 p.m. but sometimes you need it. There is no use in pulling all nighters to get your work done because it will only make the day after that much more difficult. The essay you write in your four-in-the-morning coffee buzz won’t be any good. Setting a regular sleep schedule for yourself means that you’ll have more energy throughout your day.

It’s ok to be a bit of an old person and go to bed early if it means having the energy to get things done the next day without feeling like death warmed up. U

Should you drop your classes?

Austen Erhardt Opinions and Blog Editor

The course add/drop date, which is the deadline for all changes to course schedules without earning a ‘W’ standing, is fast approaching (it’s September 16 for most courses) — and if you’re at all as indecisive as me,

you probably have no idea what to do.

In an attempt to systematize the decision-making process, we’ve come up with this list. Check off any that apply to the class(es) you’re thinking about dropping, and even the ones that you weren’t previously considering, and total them up at

the end. Make sure that you only do one class at a time, though!

Keep in mind that this list is not comprehensive and you really shouldn’t be making any life decisions based off it. But if you’re hovering on the edge of dropping your course, this could be the perfect excuse to finally make it happen. U

Dance >>

If your friends don’t dance...

UBC Dance Club has been keeping ballroom alive for 65 years Lawrence Neal Garcia Contributor

Since 1949 the UBC Dance Club has been gliding across the ballroom floor.

As one of the oldest clubs on campus and the first dance-related club, UBC Dance has a long and active history of teaching students of all skill levels the art of ballroom dancing.

“You don’t need any experience and you don’t need a partner to join the club,” emphasized Stephanie LePage, a fourth year linguistics major and UBC Dance Club president.

Despite having danced since she was three years old; LePage had never done any ballroom, which is why she joined the club in her first year. After signing up for some classes, she was hooked.

While many other dance clubs have been formed throughout the years, most of which focus on different styles, what distinguishes UBC Dance is their focus on ballroom, that is, the International Style Ballroom and Latin dances.

“I think that’s what keeps us unique from all the other [dance] clubs on campus,” said LePage.

“There’s probably a handful of other [dance] clubs and we want to be something different.”

Now in its 65th year, UBC Dance has stayed true to its ball-

The club accepts anyone willing to move their feet, whether they’re both left or not.

room roots. The club may only do one thing, but they do it well. The fact that ballroom dancing itself includes such a wide variety of styles—from the waltz to the jive to the paso doble—certainly doesn’t hurt.

After offering a few free classes during the start of the fall term, anyone interested can continue on to the sixteen classes offered by the club throughout

the year, with levels including: beginner, intermediate and advanced.

For Edmund Gu, who joined the club on the recommendation of a friend back in 2007, the classes were crucial. Much larger than he expected — about 100 people instead of just 10 or 20 — the classes had an atmosphere and energy that kept him coming back.

“It was huge,” said Gu. “Join the club and basically you’ll find yourself a part of a whole new social network.”

As it is for many clubs, community is key for UBC Dance.

Pharmacy student Shayna Ding first joined in 2010 to broaden her dance skills from a background in contemporary, ballet and Chinese dance. In the years since, despite completing all the classes and

outgrowing them in terms of skill, Ding remains attached to the club mainly through their community events and activities.

“The club is way more than what you think it is,” said Ding. “It’s not just learning about dance. There’s a really big community behind the club.”

UBC Dance is certainly a presence on campus, often collaborating with fraternities and sororities, other clubs like the Chinese Varsity Club (CVC), and even UBC Science Co-op.

“Basically every time we do a collaboration,” said LePage, “we teach [the group] how to dance, give them a couple of moves and get them going.”

But perhaps the largest fixture of the club is the annual UBC Gala Ball, which is now in its 53rd year.

First started in the 1960’s by student dancers, the competition now hosts over 200 dancers who compete over a two-day period.

“It’s just a great big competition that we love hosting,” said LePage of the yearly tradition and why it has endured. As for why the club was started in the first place, LePage thinks it might have to do with the prevalence of ballroom in the past.

“In 1949, I’m sure that ballroom dancing was a lot more popular than it is now.”

Whatever the reason, UBC Dance is certainly keeping the style alive. U

Spirit and swords: UBC’s Kendo Club Paul S. Jon Contributor

For the uninitiated, stumbling into a kendo practice can be a decidedly terrifying experience: an army of armoured students swinging shinai (bamboo swords), stomping and screaming what can best be described as battle cries with each strike. This is kendo, and the UBC Kendo Club is looking for fresh faces to join their ranks.

Kendo, Japanese for “way of the sword,” is a modern martial art and sport derived from classical Japanese swordsmanship.

Although easy to pass off as simply “sword fighting,” Jam Li, a fourth-year Arts student who has been practicing Kendo for five years, explained the practice’s hidden depth.

“The goal is personal cultivation through understanding the practice of the sword,” he said.

Regarding the trademark shouts that accompany each strike, Li explained, “It’s called kiai. That is to project your spirit to your opponent. Kendo is derived from a life or death situation, so you have to commit your life in a spiritual sense. It’s like a battle cry. In order to score a point... the strike has to be fully committed with full spirit.”

The club was founded over 25 years ago by former president of the Canadian Kendo Federation, Hiro Okusa, who went on to found multiple dojos across the province. One of his former students, David Harding, is the current head instructor of the club.

In addition to practice sessions every Tuesday and Thursday evening, members participate in

regular competitions on various scales, from regional to national to international. Tsuyoshi Hamanaka, former president of the club, is currently practicing in Japan and a prospect for the Canadian National Team.

There is no experience or equipment necessary to join the Kendo club, just dedication - and practice, lest you fall behind.

The club’s executive members encourage all to try it out and recalled their own reasons for joining.

“My friend found a Kendo sword in her garage when she was moving and she asked me if I wanted to do Kendo with her,” recalled club social coordinator Ancelle Tache. “She quit after the first day and I stuck around.”

Club secretary Kaylyn Leung highlighted the benefits of practicing Kendo. “I think it’s taught me a lot of leadership skills, confidence skills, and you get to [relieve] stress,” she said.

“After you practice Kendo for a bit, you kind of get more accustomed to things like how to deal with other people, respecting others,” said club president Jonathan Ma. “I guess anyone who’s interested in getting sweat out [should try it]. It’s good exercise.”

“The key is to relax,” said Li. “You don’t actually need a lot of strength to get better at kendo.

You need a lot of willpower, and that is one of the key things kendo trains you for. The scariest and most wonderful thing about kendo is that you can practice it your whole life, and the longer you go, the better you get. So the scariest thing is an 80 year old sensei just holding a shinai.” U

Hours of beauty and pain Cycling >>

Whistler’s GranFondo bike race was exhilerating and exhausting Natalie Scadden Staff Writer

The best way I can think to describe my experience cycling the RBC GranFondo Whistler is in a series of rushes.

The first rush was to get out the door on time. I had to be at the start line in Stanley Park by 5:45 am, and when it comes to early mornings, I’m the kind of person who wants to get every last minute of sleep they can. It’s always a bit of a scramble.

Next was the rush of cold air hitting my face. The sun hadn’t come up when I left my house in Dunbar, and with the temperature hovering around 10 degrees, riding downhill brought tears to my eyes.

Getting up at what some call “the ass-crack of dawn” does have its merits though. Just before the race began, I watched a spectacular sunrise while standing in my start corral with a few hundred other people. With a forecast of 28 degrees and sunny, it was shaping up to be a great day.

Next came the rush of riding in a huge group of cyclists. My race began in a mass start, which means that everyone rolls out at the same time. It starts off kind of slowly at first, but the pace builds quickly and before you know it you’re flying down the Lion’s Gate Bridge in a peloton. Feeding off the energy of the pack, going up the Taylor Way hill felt like cruising along the Seawall: invincible.

The race took riders from the Lion’s Gate bridge to Whistler Village and everywhere in between.

But then came the inevitable rush of lactic acid to the legs. I had signed up for the new “Forte” category that added an extra 30 kilometers cycling up and down Cypress Mountain (go big or go home, right?), and when I realized there were few other women around me at that point, my competitive instincts kicked in.

The urge to see how many guys I could “chick” (read: beat) to the top of the mountain made me ride harder than I probably should have. The race was going to be a total of 152 kilometers with 2500 metres of elevation, and while I’d

biked 7500 kilometres throughout the summer, this was the longest endurance race I’d ever entered.

Luckily, gravity and I soon became friends. After spending an hour cycling up Cypress, I got to enjoy the adrenaline rush of coming back down it. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of going over 70 kilometres an hour on a bicycle, technically, I could’ve gotten a speeding ticket.

The adrenaline continued as I merged back on to the Sea to Sky highway. With very little car traffic, I could hear the constant whirring of spinning bike wheels

Illustration julian yu / the ubyssey

all around me, louder now that the Forte riders were rejoining the rest of the GranFondo participants. With no clouds in sight, I could see the peaks of all the mountains rising above the bright blue water of Howe Sound. The Sea to Sky is beautiful from a car, but it’s even more striking from a bicycle. And having already pedalled mine for nearly two hours, I could practically taste the food waiting for me at the first aid station in Horseshoe Bay. The aid stations are a bit of rush in themselves. There were five of them in total, each with

music blasting and a busy throng of volunteers ready to help you.

Fatigue and hunger made each stop seem longer and farther apart than the last, although I don’t think that was actually the case. Regardless, by the time you get to a station, you and everyone else are in somewhat of a hurry to use the facilities. You shove some oranges, bananas and M&Ms into your mouth, fill your water bottles and hop back on your bike.

Then, with about 20 kilometers to go, came the rush of elite riders speeding back down the other side of highway having already finished the race and now wanting to get home. It sure made the rest of us feel like sloths.

I may not have been as fast as them, but I enjoyed every minute of the seven hours it took me to complete the course. The rush of finishing an event like the GranFondo is, to say the least, satisfying. I love a good challenge and I think it’s important to push yourself. Plus, there were hundreds, if not thousands, of people lining the streets in Whistler Village waiting to cheer you on to the finish line.

And finally, of course, there was the rush to get my hands on a cold beer to celebrate the day. Cheers to the nearly 4,000 people who participated in the fifth annual GranFondo Whistler ride.

I can’t wait to do it again. U

‘Birds demolish SFU in preseason bout

UBC took control immediately and never let up in their 6-0 rout of the Clan.

Jack Hauen Sports and Rec Editor

This is what you hope for when you go see a hockey game.

Blue shirts littered Doug Mitchell Arena Tuesday night as the Thunderbirds played their annual exhibition game against the SFU Clan. It was UBC’s first game of the season, and while no points were awarded in the standings, the 6-0 victory meant the team and their new coach – Tyler Kuntz – started off on the right foot.

“It’s good to get the first game,” said Kuntz. “Some of these guys haven’t played in a year or two, so it’s good to get them back in game speed.”

Game speed wasn’t a problem for the ‘Birds – they dictated it.

The home team stormed out of the gate and directly into the SFU zone, swarming the crease like bumblebees. It was indeed the beginning to a good old hockey game.

Every clearing attempt by the visitors was either blocked or brought right back in by a Thunderbird squad that cut through the neutral zone like butter. The puck movement was something to behold: a white sweater was almost guaranteed to come away with it after a battle along the boards, and passes were tape-to-tape more often than not, as players looked up-ice or crossslot with every dish. Because

of the confidence UBC showed from the get-go, the defence was so comfortable on the point that pinching from the blue line became the norm for the night Some four-on-four play around the eight-minute mark favoured the ‘Birds, and they opened the scoring almost halfway through the first as Anthony Bardaro stuffed in a glove side rebound.

Although Matt Hewitt, the Thunderbird goaltender, only faced five shots in the period, he made some of the best saves of the game, including a flash of leather that stopped a wrister dead from two feet out. If it’s possible to burn a hole in the roof with your eyes, we would have found out after the SFU player’s skyward stare.

The second period started with a bang. SFU won the faceoff, but Bardaro didn’t mind stripping them of the puck. The crowd was dead silent in the seconds that he split the D with ease and deked to the backhand, but their brief patience was rewarded as he roofed it to put his team up 2-0. It was the prettiest goal of the game, but not the last. Scott MacDonald made sure of that as he put another one where grandma keeps the cookies five minutes later.

3-0 UBC. A new pair of coincidental minors for roughing followed the third ‘Bird goal. The tech operators proved to be as quick as the home team that night, not missing a beat in playing “Why Can’t We Be Friends?” as the offending individuals were escorted to the bin.

More infractions around the halfway point of the game sent the teams into four-on-four again, which looked like a UBC powerplay. Control of SFU’s zone increased to the point that the T-Birds were trying slap-passes into the slot every once in a while, just because they could.

A timeout at the thirteen-minute mark saw Kuntz frantically scribbling on his whiteboard, on which his players focused their attention. Whatever he said worked, as UBC gained control of the visitors’ zone and moved the puck around like it was on a string. It was finally cleared, but the Clan’s relief was shortlived as Wes Vannieuwenhuizen brought it back in, threw it to Nick Buonassissi, who relayed it crossslot to Dillon Wagner, who rifled

it past goalie Andrew Parent to put the ‘Birds up by four.

After a literal last-second rebound goal by Bardaro to complete his hat trick, the Thunderbirds left the second frame sitting pretty atop a 5-0 lead. Kuntz was obviously pleased with his team’s effort, but felt there was still room for improvement.

“We kind of expected that we should have been able to control parts of the game,” he said, but also stressed that he and his team weren’t perfect. “We have lots of work to do. We haven’t put a lot of things in place. We want to get our habits down - our habits are going to be our foundation.”

His team’s habits on the night brought them into a third period with nothing to prove. It was altogether less exciting than the rest of the game, as the Thunderbirds lacked a sense of urgency – not that they needed one.

Solid puck control and time in the SFU zone peppered with small flurries of UBC chances summed up the final frame, which culminated in Nick Buonassissi’s rebound roofer at 17:46 to put the final nail in the Clan’s coffin.

Kuntz is happy with the result, but is already looking forward to the beginning of the CIS regular season.

“We play on Friday the defending national champions, then we play the next night a team that was undefeated going into Christmas last year. For us, we know that we have lots of improvements [to make]. It’s not going to happen overnight.” U

Do preseason rankings matter?

CJ Pentland Staff Writer

No matter how much merit one puts into rankings, it’s safe betting that when they are announced at the end of preseason, the average fan will take a look. But do the rankings actually reflect what will happen during the season? Does the first-ranked team in the preseason usually come out on top come the postseason? After looking at rankings and results from the past five seasons, I’ve hopefully provided a few answers.
