The Earth and Ocean Sciences complex is UBC’s Science World Leo Soh Senior Staff Writer

In some ways, the Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences (EOAS) building complex is like any other at UBC: it has offices, computer labs and lecture halls.

Unlike most buildings, however, EOAS also has a tornado machine, a green screen ‘do-it-yourself’ meteorological broadcast station and a giant, interactive, animated globe.

The complex is not only an educational hub, it is also a treasure trove of science- and learning-based gadgets hard to find anywhere else in the city and possibly western Canada.

By using over 1,300 tons of B.C.- sourced cross laminated timber, the ESB sequesters enough carbon to keep the atmosphere free from over 2,500 tons of CO2.”

The most recognizable building in the complex is the Earth Sciences Building (ESB), opened in 2012, which thousands of students pass by daily on Main Mall. Although it was a hefty investment of $75 million, it is now a major contender for the title of nicest instructional building on campus.

The ESB’s aesthetic design is certainly breathtaking, but it is also one of the most efficient and functional structures on campus. The building is LEED Gold certified, signifying its sustainable nature, and as the largest panelized wood building and the largest application of cross laminated timber in North Amer-

ica, it certainly gives our campus some bragging rights. By using over 1,300 tons of B.C.-sourced cross laminated timber, the ESB sequesters enough carbon to keep the atmosphere free from over 2,500 tons of CO2.

Tucked neatly behind the façade of the ESB are countless precious stones, ancient bones and other scientific memorabilia, each piece with a unique and fascinating story to tell.”

The Earth Sciences Building’s modern interior design provides spacious foyers and plenty of natural light. Perhaps to take advantage the building’s traits, the office of the dean for the Faculty of Science has relocated to the ESB, along with the earth, ocean and atmospheric sciences, statistics and the Pacific Institute of the mathematical sciences departments. The ESB also serves as a place where industry leaders in fields such as geology come to connect with UBC students, staff and alumni.

Touch one button and a warm glow fills the room as the globe displays the air temperature of the earth over time.”

Although most students know of the grandiose nine-metrehigh head labs penetrating the first storey of the Earth Sciences Building with floor-to-ceiling

windows, very few have seen the treasures it conceals. Tucked neatly behind the façade of the ESB are countless precious stones, ancient bones and other scientific memorabilia, each piece with a unique and fascinating story to tell. This is, in essence, a secret mini-museum at UBC and a resource not many students even know exists.

At the heart of the complex’s natural sciences display is the interactive, animated globe — the OmniGlobe — which rests in a small dark room and offers viewers the opportunity to observe the climate, landscape and other features of our planet change throughout its history. Touch one button and a warm glow fills the room as the globe displays the air temperature of the earth over time. Press another, and the ocean’s currents stream across the sphere. Other interactive attractions include the wildly entertaining tornado machine and a live stream of the weather courtesy of Global TV with a camera and green screen that let you fulfill your childhood dream of being Mark Madryga.

The Earth and Oceans Sciences complex houses some of the most incredible accessible technology at UBC, and while the new Earth Sciences Building serves as a place of study, work and innovation, it is also a piece of art in and of itself. At barely three years old, it is already one of the most frequently used structures on the Point Grey Campus, and has the potential to become an even bigger player in the campus community. A fusion of laboratories, office space, lecture halls, and UBC’s own Science World, the ESB has a unique charm. Take a look for yourself and help forge the young structure’s identity. U

Survey highlights students’ safety concerns

Law professor Nicole Barrett oversees trial of Chad government agents accused of murder and torture

David Nixon Senior Staff Writer

Results from the AMS’ student academic experience survey this year show that many students are feeling unsafe on UBC’s campus.

These results are likely due to the widely publicized sexual assaults on campus and the offensive Frosh chants from some Sauder students, says AMS VP academic Anne Kessler, and those issues also prompted new survey questions this year.

“This year we added a set of questions around discrimination, and for the first time we asked students to report how they identified in terms of their race and ethnicity,” said Kessler.

On the question of feeling safe on campus at night, from 2013 to 2014, female students’ responses showed a drop from 55 per cent to 31 per cent; students who identified as “other” in terms of gender dropped from 88 per cent to 35 per cent.

“Students have begun to feel significantly less safe on campus at night,” concluded the survey. One of the recommendations arising from these results involved reviewing the sexual assault counsellor position that the Commerce Undergraduate Society was obliged to put up $50,000 for in 2014 — that was only a one year commitment.

“As of yet there hasn’t been a promise by the university that the funding will continue every year,” said Kessler, who notes that the AMS is meeting with UBC’s VP Students Office Wednesday, January 21 to start discussions around this and other issues.

Another new area of focus is counselling services. Last year, The Ubyssey reported that many students were being turned away from counselling services. A new survey question this year showed that only 36 per cent of students were satisfied with their counselling service experience and 35 per cent said they weren’t. <em>

The AMS’ academic experience survey highlighted students’ biggest concerns in 2014.

Kessler says it’s a tough area to measure and the AMS will be working with the university to do more research on the subject.

“Students are going to counselling because they’re in a really difficult position so they might leave not being totally satisfied even if it was helpful for them in the end,” said Kessler. “There’s clearly a bit of a perception problem… if [students] need help they’re going to get help, and we don’t want a stigma around it.”

Other recommendations from the survey involve pursuing academic policies to ensure syllabi are required for every course (no such policy exists currently), that syllabi are provided earlier on, around course registration time, and that professors be required to divulge a certain percentage of a student’s grades before final exams so that students may take corrective action if they’re doing poorly in a course. Some

mature students commented about experiences with age discrimination and less engagement with the AMS, which Kessler says has prompted more partnership with the GSS to find out how to improve services for mature students.

The first academic experience survey was run in 2012 and collected about 2,000 responses.

The latest survey collected 4,000 responses: that’s about eight per cent of UBC Vancouver’s approximately 50,000 students.

The previous surveys honed in on student stress as a core concern and those results have not changed significantly from year-to-year.

There were 20 recommendations arising from the 2012 and 2013 surveys combined and this year alone there were 16 new recommendations – nine of those focused on student support services. U

Nicole Barrett, a UBC Law professor specializing in human rights and criminal law, has been overseeing a trial of former Chad government agents accused of mass murder and torture.

The trial, which began on November 14, is looking at the evidence against 21 government agents who served for Hissène Habré, the president of Chad from 1982 to 1990.

Various international human rights groups estimate that a total of 40,000 people were killed during Habré’s eight-year presidency.

Saleh Younous, former director of Habré’s political police force, is one of the agents being tried at the trial.

According to a Reuters article, each of the 21 agents have pled ‘not guilty’ to the charges at the beginning of the trial.

Barrett, who is also director of the Joint International Justice and Human Rights Clinic at UBC and York University, has previously overseen trials for the former Yugoslavia and served as a legal advisor for people who had been detained at Guantanamo Bay. Along with York University Law student Eleonore Gauthier, Barrett had been in Chad from January 10 to 19 to mon-

itor that the trial was being conducted in accordance with international standards.

According to Barrett, the trial is a particularly difficult and important one, as families of the people killed had waited many years in order to receive a sense of closure and justice for the victims.

“The victims’ families are attending the trial as well, so the courtroom is filled with emotion,” said Barrett in a statement. “They have been campaigning for 24 years to see Habré and his accomplices face justice.”

Barrett also said that, as the trial is being conducted at the national level rather than at The Hague or other international courts, it will set a precedent for future countries holding their former leaders accountable through their own judicial systems.

“If the trial meets international standards, the regime’s victims will finally begin to regain a sense of dignity after more than two decades,” said Barrett. “If fair trial standards are compromised it will be yet another insult to the victims and their families.”

The trial, which is being monitored by the Human Rights Association, is expected to continue until the end of January. U

This year’s Faculty Cup to focus on community, health Climate change a major topic as 2014 marks hottest year in history Emma Partridge Contributor

The UBC Faculty Cup has had a makeover.

Faculty Cup is a campus-wide tournament in which the different UBC faculties face off for a day of friendly sports and game competition. A version of the event grew out of a similar tournament called the UBC Legacy Games, then disappeared for a while but was picked up again five years ago.

This year, the AMS is trying to bring something different to the popular sports tournament.

“We kind of threw out the old model and re-did it completely,” said Alex Remtulla, fourth-year political science student and chair of the 2015 Faculty Cup. “This is, I guess, our test year.”

Along with a committee of other student organizers, Remtulla has been planning and revamping the event since September.

The 2015 Faculty Cup, which will be held on January 29, will be about more than the sports and competition that it has become famous for in past years. The day will centre on overall physical and mental well-being.

“We’ve added so many free programs throughout the day just focused on finding ways to get active, to increase awareness around mental health,” said Remtulla.

This year’s Faculty Cup will be held on January 29.

Sarah Richter, third-year Kinesiology student, appreciated the communal atmosphere at last year’s Faculty Cup. “I liked the fact that it brought together students from every single year that may have not met,” said Richter. “At least go just to meet other people.”

This year will be the first time that Faculty Cup features additional activities as a part of the day. The free programs that Remtulla and his colleagues have added to the event include a food truck festival, a wellness fair and various health activities.

According to Remtulla, the hope is that Faculty Cup will

offer something to all students, even those not competing in the tournament itself.

The food truck festival will have three trucks to serve students. The Wellness Fair will focus on increasing awareness about well-being, while the Wellness activities running throughout the day will give students a chance to participate in various physical activities and win points for their faculties.

“We’re really about building UBC pride and faculty pride,” said Remtulla. “We wanted to create programs and events that would reach out to essentially everyone on campus and try to bring everyone together.” U

Sauder expands partnership with Coast Capital Savings Mateo Ospina Staff Writer

Sauder is continuing to partner with Coast Capital Savings in a recent commitment to encourage students to start their own social entrepreneurial ventures.

The credit union, Coast Capital Savings, has provided a $1 million contribution over the course of four years to fund UBC’s Coast Capital Savings Innovation Hub. Along with the fund, Coast Capital Savings is planning to assist in the training and mentorship of students who want to start their own startups and companies.

For Coast Capital Savings, one goal is to “promote economic, social and environmental change in BC communities.”

Along with other factors, projects proposed to The Coast Capital Savings Innovation Hub are assessed on their potential

to impact their communities in a meaningful way.

Coast Capital Savings has offered Coast Capital representatives as volunteer mentors who, coupled with Sauder’s Centre for Sustainability and Social Innovations staff, will help train and educate Sauder students in their ventures.

Though they will still be revenue-driven businesses, the social ventures proposed by the students must have a focus on social and environmental factors that should result in positive change for B.C. communities.

“Social ventures are thriving in Vancouver’s dynamic entrepreneurial community and there’s a growing recognition of the power of business to do good in the world,” said James Tansey, Executive Director of Sauder’s Centre for Social Innovation & Impact Investing in a statement.

Each of the students participating in the program will also receive the $2000 Coast Capital Savings Accelerator Award to help start their venture.

Businesses that have been started within the last three years are all able to apply to be part of the Coast Capital Savings Innovation Hub. With this extra support, Coast Capital hopes to encourage a higher quantity and quality of social ventures.

Coast Capital Savings will also receive top Sauder students as interns during the summer term in order to encourage a more cohesive training environment for students.

With new companies springing up within UBC and a strong support system for students interested in social entrepreneurship, Coast Capital Savings hopes that the new hub and startup programs will promote a new generation of socially-conscious entrepreneurs. U

2014 was the hottest year in recorded history.

Veronika Bondarenko News Editor

As scientists confirm that 2014 has been the hottest year in recorded history, the topic of climate change and rising temperatures is becoming all the more pressing.

A joint report released by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration found that 2014 has been the hottest year since the 1880s. The report also found that 10 of the warmest years since scientists started measuring global temperatures have all taken place since 2000.

Simon Donner, a UBC geography professor specializing in climate change, said that while global temperatures during individual years in the future may be better than others, the overall trend of rapid climate change is undeniable and cannot be ignored.

“2014 is the warmest year in recorded history, but this is just more evidence of the drum beat of climate change,” said Donner.

“2015 may not break the record, but then 2016 might. The trend is upwards and there’s no doubt whatsoever about that.”

Donner also said that, if current rising temperature trends continue, we could see global temperatures rise by four degrees by the end of the century. This could also lead to sea levels rising by as much as a metre and parts of Vancouver and the Lower Mainland becoming inundated by ocean.

According to Donner, a major deciding factor in whether current temperature trends will continue has to do with whether governments choose to switch away from fossil fuels as a source of energy in the upcoming years.

“There are individual actions that people can take, but it’s also going to take collective action,” said Donner.

“It’s going to take governments seeing the value in switching to renewable forms of energy.”

At the same time, Donner stressed the importance of individual people also working together to curb rising temperatures, whether it be through making individual choices to live more sustainably or lobbying for the government to make climate change a priority on the agenda.

As rising temperatures are a pervasive and longterm problem, it can often feel like individual choices don’t make a meaningful difference when compared to the collective decisions made by governments and corporations. Still, Donner said that as the problem of climate change is complex, finding sustainable solutions will also take contributions from many different people.

“It’s not like we’re polluting a lake with mercury where if you just plug the pipe everything will get better,” said Donner. “We all have to take actions together and so it can be easy to say ‘why should I do it?’ and that’s why it’s really important to coordinate and to try and work together as much as possible.”

In particular, Donner said that students and other young people need to be at the forefront of climate change, as how they choose to address it in the next decades will shape whether it reaches a point when it can no longer be reversed.

“You’re being handed a debt from the past of all these greenhouse gases that were put into the atmosphere, but you’re being handed the opportunity to be the one to solve the problem,” said Donner. U

AMS SURVEY REVEALS A MAJOR PROBLEM

PUBLIC GAY LIT IS A PUBLIC SERVICE

The results of the AMS’ recent student academic experience survey show that students, particularly women and those who identified as ‘other’ for their gender, have been feeling significantly less safe on campus at night over the course of the 2013-2014 year.

While such results are hardly surprising given that the sexist Sauder Frosh cheer and string of sexual assaults on campus all took place within a few months of each other, it also takes seeing the numbers laid out in such plain terms to really understand that a large portion of students are feeling unsafe during the time they spend at UBC. And that is unacceptable.

The survey put forth several recommendations to make sure the results are acted upon (such as examining the position of the new sexual assault counsellor, who was only hired for one year to follow the cheer), but there clearly needs to be more done by the university on a continual basis.

As the initial shock and press coverage of last year’s events wear off, it is important that UBC still takes active steps to make campus a safer place for all students not just through words, but through actions as well.

UBC Library is now in possession of two rare gay novels — which is awesome. However, much like the acquisition of the famed Videomatica collection last year, students aren’t very aware of this momentous addition to our library.

The addition of Teleny and Des Grieux will allow students, scholars and the public to access and study the emergence and development of homoerotic literature — which has been clouded in mystery for some time. Not only that, but UBC is the first university to house these novels.

All other copies of these rare artifacts are owned and housed by private collectors, and one copy of the Teleny exists at the British Museum.

As students of a major research university we should celebrate the fact that our school has gone to such efforts to acquire and house rare and famous artifacts like the Teleny and Des Grieux novels. <em>

</em>

COMPOST DOESN’T HAVE TO SMELL LIKE GARBAGE Have you ever noticed how the basement of the SUB smells like rotting garbage? So have we. As a group of students who practically live in the basement of the SUB,

we’ve come to know all of the different smells that have passed through. But this garbage stench has been around since the AMS installed their new composter.

And while maybe we shouldn’t be complaining too much, given the disarray of our own office, the smell coming from the garbage room in the SUB is off putting. Our office, as well as a major eating area, is only a few dozen feet down the hall.

We understand that the composter is working with rotting food. We really do appreciate what it’s doing for the environment, too.

The problem is that, for an apparently air-sealed container, it’s not doing its job very well.

If this is some new scheme to get students to stop using the SUB, it’s working. With any luck we’ll get used to it by the end of the week. U

Bike thieves have got to be one of the most galling collections of people that operate in our society.

This is particularly relevant to students here at UBC. Many of us are all too aware of the constant paranoia that plagues bike owners — one day they will go to get on their bike and it’ll be gone — maybe a broken, overpriced bike lock will be remain, but that just serves as a visual reminder of your absent possession.

Pretty much everyone with a bike here goes to great lengths to keep it safe. A bike has monetary value, something we as students have to be especially wary of, but it is more than that; it’s your way around campus, an ever-present companion that many will feel distraught to be without. To

have it stolen is heartbreaking and infuriating.

However, I’m not writing this to complain about conventional bike thieves: there’s a new threat to bikes on campus. The ever-dependable and amicable SHHS (Student Housing and Hospitality Services) has devised a new inconvenience for students living in residence (at least in Fairview) — or perhaps resurrected an old one (I doubt this is the first year of the practice). If SHHS deems your bike to be in vaguely described “poor condition” they will stick a label on it. You might be thinking ‘that doesn’t sound too annoying’ but here’s the kicker, if you don’t remove this tag and call SHHS and report the code on the label within a week, your bike will be taken. I assume this means they will cut your expensive bike lock that you bought to protect it from thieves. You then have one month to reclaim your bike — although your lock is probably beyond repair — before it is gone permanently.

While it is only a removal of a tag and a phone call to protect your bike, even this is inconvenient, another unnecessary thing to worry about in our busy lives.

Furthermore, the email to notify residents of this process was sent out only one day prior to the start of the tagging. Dealing with these nagging issues is not what we pay for when we live on rez, but the worrying thing is that we are getting used to these invasive practices because they are so commonplace. We’ve paid our rent so please let us live in our houses in peace. U

Both books were acquired throu PhD candidate Justin O’Hearn and Associate gh the crowd-funding efforts of Professor Gregory Mackie, with an outpouring of support from the UBC Libra ry and depar tments as wide-ranging as English, gender studies and history.

Teleny and Des Grieux, originally part of priva were acquired through Christie’s auction house te erotic collection of Tony Fekete, hearing of the oppor tunit y to obtain the books based in London, Engla nd. Upon reached out to his super visor Mackie as well from the Christie’s, O’Hearn as Libra ry personnel, including Katherine Kalsb fellow faculty members and UBC eek, acting head for the UBC Libra ry Rare Books & Special Collections.

O’Hearn engaged in a crowd-funding campaign to purchase the books, where he successfully received a sum amounting to $3,000 from backers. On Tuesday, November 18 O’Hearn, fellow faculty members and staff assembled in the Conference Room at the UBC Libra ry to live-bid in the auction. In a relatively fast and energetic bidding war, UBC acquired Teleny and According to O’Hearn, who was responsible Des Grieux. for spearheading the acquisition of the books, incorporating Teleny and Des Grieu Collection “offers the oppor tunit y for scholars x as a complement to the Colbeck exciting academic resea rch on works of litera from all disciplines to conduct ture that have rema ined private for nearly 100 years.”

For Mackie the acquisition of Teleny and Des Grieux in a tangible form is particularly signif icant.

“One of the things that people tend to think erroneously about literature is that all that matters are the words on the page. Howe ver, the book itself is another kind of narrative. Having the first edition will tell us know or would not have access to other wise. things that we could not really For insta nce, the way that Teleny was produced and circulated is much more appar ent if you are able to read the various codes that operate within the material book, ” said Despite the speculated connection of the texts Mackie. to Oscar Wilde, the link rema ins contested and open to debate.

“The story claims that Wilde dropped the origin al manuscript of Teleny, yet there is no evidence to support it,” said O’He arn.

“The connection is a legend, really. The thing about Wilde is that he always generated these legends and mythologies, and it is ologies that he secretly wrote this first homo another one of these Wilde mytherotic novel. However, in Teleny, it is very unlikely and utterly impossible for Des Grieux,” said Mackie.

Whet her or not there is a connection to Wilde , the texts are still important, added Kalsbeek.

UBC is currently the only university in the world “With the Des Grieux, there is only three copie that houses these novels. s know n to exist, and the two other copies are in private collections. Mean while, for Teleny, there are five copies know n to exist, one at the British librar y, one here and the other copies are in private collections,” said Kalsbeek.

Already, there is a lot of excitement beyond the boundaries of UBC, as news of the books’ addition to the Rare Books and Speci across the Vancouver region.

Establishing an arts and culture community at a university as large as UBC is a hard thing to do, however it’s a challenge that the team at Dive were willing to take on.

Dive is a new online initiative dedicated to promoting UBC’s arts and culture scene. Melissa Monaghan, Maciek Piskorz and Sam Massooleh — the website’s founders — are three UBC commerce students with a passion for arts and a distaste for its lack of support at UBC. The arts rely on a co-dependant relationship. Not only does it require an immense amount of creativity and talent on the part of many artists but also an extremely dedicated and appreciative group of supporters. At a school with an arts community as large and diverse as UBC’s, creating the group of supporters becomes an even bigger challenge. When the support group struggles to thrive, so too does the culture.

There’s a perfectly logical reason for why arts events are so hard to support here at UBC: no one knows about them. Trying to keep track of all the events being put on by all the different arts departments and clubs is a task all on its own. It’s a task that has unfortunately put a large barrier between many students and the arts at UBC, and it’s one that Dive has set out to tear down.

“From our experience we’ve been to a number of places and usually

U

what happens is we get there and there are about 20 people sitting in the audience. It’s just a terrible shame to see these artists, they spend six months preparing for those three nights that they are going to play for and yet no one gets to see them. So that was kind of our inspiration. We came to the realization that it should be made more accessible to a larger number of people,” said Piskorz.

Dive has taken on the job of finding the week’s most interesting arts and culture events and putting them all in one easily comprehensible place.

Their simple yet elegant website provides an easy to use platform to locate both the events you wanted to track down and events you never would have heard of otherwise.

They have provided a medium through which the arts at UBC are more accessible and easier to support, bridging the gap between the brilliant artist and the supporters they so desperately need.

“There are two distinct groups of people at UBC: the performers and the spectators. And obviously one can benefit the other and we hope to be the link between the two,” said Piskorz. The arts community is one that can only get stronger with more awareness and support, Dive hopes to contribute to this.

Confronting mental illness in literature can often be difficult, however UBC MFA graduate Michael Christie tackles this topic head on in his new novel If I Fall, If I Die. The book follows the story of a young boy, Will, whose mother suffers from agoraphobia — an anxiety disorder that involves a fear of social situations that will induce panic attacks. Sufferers of agoraphobia are often unable to leave their houses. This is the case with Will’s mother. She keeps her son inside creating a world within their home full of books, paintings and everything Will could want — until he steps into the outside world to see for himself.

Christie described the book as a coming of age story, commenting that it was loosely based on his own childhood growing up with an agoraphobic mother,

but added that many parts of the book were purely fictional.

“It’s very much about family, the relationship between parents and children and how scary it is to grow up ... but also how amazing it is,” Christie said.

After moving to British Columbia at the age of 17, Christie completed his undergraduate degree at Simon Fraser University before going on to his MFA in creative writing at UBC. However, his career path was not entirely traditional; he was originally a professional skateboarder, and focused much of his time on that while growing up. Previous jobs also involved working for skateboarding magazines, including a position as senior editor for Vancouver skateboarding magazine Color Magazine.

Now, married with two children and living on Galiano Island, Christie said he loved the creative writing program at UBC, noting that the natural setting and the opportunity to meet other writers was an amazing part of his time at the university.

His first work of fiction, The Beggar’s Garden , is a collection of short stories drawn from his experience working in a homeless shelter in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside; he noted that the subject of mental health had always interested him.

The most challenging aspect of writing If I Fall, If I Die for him was the transition from short story to novel, and dealing with the complexity and larger number of characters that came with it.

“It was hard, it was a learning process for me and it was a lot of fun as well, but it involved throwing out tons and tons of polished work in the process ... but that’s writing. If it’s easy you’re probably not writing stuff that’s going to be that interesting,” said Christie.

Although he added he will probably return to short stories at some point, he said that he is currently mapping out a project that is shaping up to be a novel. U <em>

FILM >>

From the Videomatica Collection: Something Wild

Whatever your passion, the path to turning it into a profession FILE PHOTO GEOFF LISTER /THE UBYSSEY

Lawrence Neal Garcia Senior Staff Writer

At the beginning of Jonathan Demme’s 1986 film, Charles (Jeff Daniels), a dull businessman who occasionally thrills himself by dining and dashing, is offered a ride by Lulu (Melanie Griffith), a vivacious, free-spirited brunette.

Spontaneous and wild, Lulu is everything Charles is not; but he takes her offer and gets in the car anyway, not knowing in the least what he is in for.

If the premise of Something Wild seems to indicate a typically hackneyed trajectory — man meets beautiful woman who helps him discover another side of himself — that’s because in a way it does; but it’s also entirely reductive of what the film actually is.

Like Charles, we are led to expect one thing, are given more than we bargained for — but find it to be an entirely fantastic experience. Jonathan Demme, of The Silence of the Lambs fame, already gave us the greatest concert film ever with Stop Making Sense. With Something Wild, he gives us one of the greatest gearshift films ever. Upon the arrival of a major character, what initially seems to be a screwball comedy turns on a dime and becomes an increasingly dark thriller; it’s a shift that takes the film from being merely good to outright great.

Still, even after it takes that turn, Something Wild is never less than entertaining, and even finds one of its most blissful and memorable moments in the middle of a roadside convenience store in the outskirts of Virginia, at what is likely the lowest point for Daniels’ character story-wise. In a sense, that’s Something Wild (and Demme) in a nutshell: a euphoric mix of manic energy, emotional weight and outright bliss, all without being too ponderous or too slight.

In more ways than one, Something Wild lives up to its title. It offers viewers a wild, electric ride — and like Griffith’s Lulu, it doesn’t let down. U <em>

Men’s field hockey mentors next generation of stars Koby Michaels Staff Writer Along with being a national championship team and comprising a majority of the Canadian national team’s roster, the UBC men’s field hockey team runs a youth development program.

Head coach Shiaz Virjee said that the program, sponsored by Gulf and Fraser financial group, is part of the team’s ongoing involvement in community outreach and relations.

“The program is great for community relationship, and it helps with recruiting,” said Virjee. “The players are from Lower Mainland high schools and many are recommended to the program by the Junior National Development program.”

The program is run by Virjee and is staffed by four to five players from the men’s field hockey squad. Lachlan Glen, a forward on the team and a member of the coaching staff for the program, sees it as a great opportunity for the high school youth. “Growing

up, there were only so many of us that could play. It’s great to play with players five to six years older.”

Sterling Bickerstaff, a twelfthgrade student at local secondary school St. George’s, has being training with the Thunderbirds for a year and a half.

“Being able to come out with my friends and practice is really sweet,” said Bickerstaff, who plays on the Thunderbird’s junior varsity team.

“Having the varsity guys from the UBC team is really great, because they know what they are doing. Their experience is really helpful.”

Bickerstaff hopes to come to UBC next year and play with the Thunderbirds.

The boys, in matching Thunderbird uniforms, straggled into Wright Field as the sun set on a rare, non-rainy day, and geared up. They joked around with UBC players before running a few laps and warming up with a variety of drills led by ‘Birds.

The goalies broke off into their

own group and the players broke up into two groups based on their levels.

“We review the players each week to see which group they belong in,” said Virjee. He hopes the players will continue field hockey in university, possibly with his very team.

Joshua White, a secondary school player who travels from West Vancouver to attend the twice-weekly sessions, is excited to play with university level players.

“I’m looking to improve in field hockey. This is a source of coaching for me. It’s good to work with the UBC team, people who know what they’re doing.

They have good tips as well.”

The Thunderbirds, with four games left in their regular season, have a .500 record. The upcoming match against UVic will be a challenge, with many UBC players currently in Chile with the national team. Glen, Virjee and the team remain hopeful and plan to do well in this year’s championship. U

Elementary school kids ball with the T-Birds Jacob Gershkovich Senior Staff Writer There was something peculiar about the crowd gathered to watch the UBC women’s basketball team take on the Brandon University Bobcats this Friday in the War Memorial Gym. Sitting a few rows behind the score table, donning yellow Thunderbird hockey jerseys and waving signs wildly in the air throughout the game was a large group of elementary students.

The students, all of whom hailed from either Strathcona or Grandview Elementary, were participating in the ‘I’m Going to UBC’ program. Attending the women’s basketball game as the program’s final scheduled event, the students were fortunate enough to be treated to a UBC victory.

Now in its seventh year of operation, the program exists as a partnership between UBC Athletics and Recreation and the Center for Community Engaged Learning. Inner-city elementary students are bussed out to UBC for a tour of the campus, a skills clinic with UBC varsity athletes and coaches and a chance to see UBC’s own square off against a visiting school.

“We had about 20-30 athletes that helped volunteer,” said Carrie Watts, one of the assistant coaches on the UBC women’s basketball team. “They met the kids and took them for a little tour around campus. We ran about a 45 minute basketball clinic with them. We taught them some skills, ran them through some games and had some fun with them. We mostly wanted to get them in the gym, on a big court, in a university environment and show them

the atmosphere that UBC is all about.”

The program provides a unique opportunity for UBC’s student athletes to act as role models for a younger generation. In the last six years, over 200 Thunderbirds have volunteered to participate.

“I think it’s important to expose these kids to the university,” said Watts.

“There were about 60 kids here yesterday, and over half of them had never been to UBC before, despite living in Vancouver. I think it’s a great opportunity for them to see the types of facilities we have on campus. It’s great to show them the opportunities that are available if they are so inclined to pursue them.”

Anthony, a bright young twelve-year-old boy from Strathcona Elementary who participated in Friday’s program, was especially pleased with the day’s events.

“We practiced basketball inside a gym, and we got free food and drinks and right now, we’re watching a basketball game. It’s good so far.”

Anthony, in addition to enjoying the skills clinic and the game, was particularly fond of the program organizers’ culinary choices. “The cheese and pepperoni pizza was really good,” he said.

Anthony’s friend and classmate, Ryan, also had some excellent things to say: “I played basketball at the gym. They taught us how to run for the ball, and how to look up and focus on your teammates when passing.”

The next scheduled date for the program is January 30, when another gang of young students will bus out to see UBC host the University of Calgary Dinos. U

Frosted Tips: how to improve your stickhandling T-Bird defenceman Jason Yee talks to Anthony Bardaro on developing the softest of hands Your top and bottom hands have different roles — know them!

Your top hand is the one you hold closest to the top of the stick. Your bottom hand is held about one third to one half of the way down your stick. Your top hand should be the one to rotate the stick; your bottom hand should push and pull the puck. Your top hand is best suited to rotating the stick — consider your top hand to be the steering wheel.

Meanwhile, your bottom hand generates the leverage to actually push or pull the puck — sort of like the engine. If your bottom hand tries to rotate, you won’t have much range of rotation, and if your top hand tries to push and pull, you won’t have much strength. Once you understand what each hand should do, you’ll find stickhandling much easier.

When you’re looking to improve your stickhandling (or any physical skill, for that matter), you can cut your learning curve dramatically by video taping yourself. Everyone has smartphones nowadays that can shoot HD video, so it’s easy to capture yourself, either with the help of a buddy or a stack of pucks.

I suggest doing some practice reps, then taping yourself, then checking your technique. Make adjustments to your technique, practice, then take another video.

You will gain valuable insight on your technique that you can only get from watching yourself. <strong>

In order to write this article, I had to seek out the guy on my team with the “silkiest mitts”, as they say. I chatted with the Thunderbirds’ leading men’s Hockey scorer Anthony Bardaro about his top tips for improving your stickhandling in hockey.

Here’s what he had to offer: Keep your hands away from your body.

Your hands should move independently from your body.

Many beginners keep their hands too close, or don’t separate them from their body. To avoid this, keep your shoulders down and relaxed and keep both hands in front of your body while holding your stick. As a general rule, your top hand should be about a hand’s width away from your chest.

When you move your stick to stickhandle, focus on only moving your arms, not your body. <strong>
