Wall confronts hate
by Nicholas lonides
UBC students were encouragedto take
up felt pens inSUB concourse Wednesday
and Thursday and make their mark
on
issues relating to hate and
prejudice.
Wooden walls for grafitti wereconstructed by the committee of students for
as part
unity and equality in concourse
SUB
of their Hate Hurts campaign.
ombudsperson Jessica Mathers
said the wallwas put up “to bring the
washroom walls into thepublic.”
“Statements that are not socially acceptable or generally aren’t positive statements are actually very helpful bec.ause
they create awarenessof the whole issue,”
said Mathers. “It’s a n experiment in education.”
“If [negative views]are not expressed,
i t doesn’t mean they’re not there. They
should be encouraged to be written and
spoken so that other people can react.’”
“It proved that the thingsyou read on
washroom walls aren’t written
by necessarily cowardly people,”said Mathers.“People
truly believe those things andfeel stra’ngly
enough about i t to write i t in public.”
Matherssaidshewas
particu‘lalry
impressed by the fact thatpeople ”pointed
out the fine line
between the censorship of
stamping Hate Hurtsover grafitti and the
freedom to express your mindcompletely.”
T-shirts displaying the “Hate Hurts”
slogan, were sellinga t cost for $4,and sold
out within a few hours.
The committeedoesn’t know whatwill
be done with the wall, but Tim Bird, BOG

Open discussions are held by the committee every Friday at 12:30 p.m. in the

UBC liberals split over selection
by Catherine Lu
Jean Chretien supporters in theUBC
Liberal club are accusing the Paul Martin
camp of unfair play in the race to select
delegates to the Liberal leadership
convention this April in Calgary.
“The Martin people wentoutand

frats,the football team,andphrateres,”
swelling the membership listwith “instant
Liberals,” said Mark Cameron,
a pro-Chretien candidate.
The memberships were submitted all
at once by Martin organizers at an executivemeeting in midJanuary, when the

March 2nd. This gave Chretien supporters
no timeto mobilize support since there isa

interest in the Liberal

The book concentrates

Much of the work’s best interviews consistof memories of the
horrors of war and the Nazi War
machine as people recall having
to come to terms with the evils
of
the regime.
The anecdotal approach
helps the reader get
a feel of
what Germansociety was likeat
that time. Voices from The Third

period it discusses. The interviewees’ experiences sound
plausible enough that the reader
often empathiseswith them

RYDEN had substance
behind his mask when he
stood at the crease. He challenged shooters to aim for his
mask by painting a red, white
and blue targeton it. The mask
became mythic and a Canadian
hallmark.
His first book, The Game, illuminates what was behind
this
mask.
Extracting from scrap notes
written duringhis career while
he was inspired or impassioned,
Dryden arouses us with his
knowledge and feeling for the
game. We are seduced by
recollections of his timeless
childhood experience.
The Game paintspeaceful
moments between thehockey
piayer and the Canadian winter
iandscape, capturing thecomical
yet human triumphof a championsnip team and intellectually
expioring the game of hockey by
travelling back to the child's
dream beneath a street lampat

Each chapter opens with the
feeling of a n awakening. We are
invoked to recall our own
connection to thegame. We are
continually refreshedand
inspired.
He reminds us of what it
was liketo be "on the fly," a n
expression in hockey articulating

MacGregor, Home Game, which

graduates, and friendsof the University throughout Canada.A cornmlttn representingall branches
of the University decided that the memorial should take the f o r m of a student union building,
dedicated to the memory of the late[lean ofApplied Science, Rcwnaid W . Brock, and Mrs. Brock, by
whose tragic deaths as a result
of an aeroplane accident the
University sufTered a great loss.
The original fund for the construction of the building was subscribed by relatives of Dean and
Mrs. Brock, friends oftheUniversity throughout Canada and the
Un~tedStates,alumni and students
of the University. and former colleagues of Dean Brock. The balance of the amount required to
complete construction was provided by the students and the
Board of Governors i n cash and through
a bond issue of the Alma Mater Society. Furnishings of the building were
provided froma fund raised
