THANK YOU FOR BUYING THIS SLIPSTICK
(or if you didn’t, why the fuck didn’t you ???)
Thanks to all those who contributed to this yearbook, either by choice or by coercion (torture, blackmail,
and sexual favours included). Thanks to everyone who did something, or had something done to them
worth remembering (Alvis, you are just sooo photogenic).

Dear Engineering Student:
The 1996/97 Academic Year once again saw important developments in our Faculty. Particularly
noteworthy are the expansion of our Co-op programs, the endowment of four professorial Chairs (in
Electrical, Mechanical and Metals & Materials Engineering) and, of course, the increased enrollments in
First and Second Year. The latter resulted from the “productivity increase” mandated by the BC
Government while, at the same time, keeping tuition fees and operating funds for the University constant.
In light of the Province’s economic situation, the staff of the Faculty will do even more than in the past, but
there will be an impact on the quality of education. I am not as concerned about the technical content of our
programs as I am about the personal attention which we can provide to students and the learning
environment. I also remain very troubled by the inadequate physical facilities for students in Chemical and
B io-Resource Engineering.
However, studying Engineering does not just mean acquiring formal knowledge. It also calls for the
development of your personality and character. I therefore encourage you to participate in some extra
curricular activites. Without that, you would miss an important part of what UBC has to offer.
For those of you who are graduating this session, this will be the last Slipstick in which your name appears.
It will be my last appearance since I shall be completing my second term as Dean in June 1997. The past
twelve years have been an outstanding experience for me with many successes and but few failures and
disappointments. I have derived the greatest satisfaction from the knowledge that our Engineering students
are receiving a sound education which prepares them well for the modem world of professional Engineering
practice. Although I am gratified by our new buildings such as the Pulp and Paper Centre, the Centre for
Integrated Computers Systems Research (CICSR) and the Advanced Materials and Process Engineering
Laboratory (AMPEL), our new micro-laboratories, the diversification and expansion of our undergraduate
and graduate programs, the doubling of our research income and establishment of numerous endowed and
industrially funded chairs, my greatest satisfaction stems from the excellence, harmonious environment and
dedication which permeates our Faculty. All these achievements have been accomplished in an era of
shrinking support from government and they have been acknowledged by an external review committee
which visited our Faculty last Spring. It gave us an excellent rating.
For those of you who are continuing your studies, good luck! You are capable of mastering all educational
challenges and can also look forward to rewarding professional practice. For those of you who are
graduating, I wish you well in your future pursuits and hope that you will keep in touch with your UBC
friends and the staff of our Faculty. It would be a personal delight, if you also included me in your future
contacts.
Axel Meisen,
Dean

“Work Hard. Play Hard” the familiar little phrase that seems to keep popping up in these
commentaries year after year. Within the pages of this book, you shall witness the faces
of those who not only believed that phrase, but who lived by it. Those who worked hard
enough to graduate (or who will graduate in the years to come), yet still managed to have
some fun doing so.
-
B
They are the faces of those who, even in these days where political correctness threatens
to stifle the joy out of life, managed to rise above it and show everyone that a sense of
humour is the most important commodity anyone can possess. We understood the
importance of having fun, and sharing it with others. A football game is an everyday
occurrence but add a bunch of crazy people in chariots with water balloons, and you get
an exciting and humourous half-time show. A car can be a mundane object but place it
on a bridge somewhere, and it becomes a spectacle, amusing and amazing the quiet
masses. A jacket can be a boring, functional object but make it Red, add some colourful
patches. and it becomes a symbol, standing brightly amongst the drab masses trudging
through the corridors of UBC, worn proudly by people who want everyone to know that
they are Engineers.

As I write this at the end of the first term, I wonder what the future has in store for us. So
far things have gone exceptionally well, far better than I’d ever thought possible. Frosh
Week was a success, OktoberfEUSt had record attendance (and record alcohol
consumption), AMS BBQ was great, Cheeze Pubs were well attended and always fun, our
Food Drive was a success that surpassed even the AMS-wide Food Drive, and even
Forestry Week was tons of fun (though I’d still like to know who set Omar on fire). If
Forestry Week was that much fun, I can’t wait for Engineering Week. And I’m assured
by the smiling faces in the first part of the book that the future looks bright not only for
next term but for years to come.
There aren’t too many times that you’ll find yourself reading this book. You’ll flip
through looking for picture of yourself and friends, smiling at the silliness, remembering
the events and the spirit. And hopefully you will early these memories with you in your
future endeavors not just as memories, but as proof: that things don’t have to be
unpleasant to be productive, and that a bit of humour can go a long way to making the
most unpleasant situations bearable.
These years in UBC Engineering have been an important part of my life. I hope they have
been for you as well. I am very proud to have been in a chapter of the great and glorious
history of the EUS.

Congratulations, good members of AFEW, for
making this year ALOT of fun. Our goals this year
are to continue transforming AFEW into ALOT and
to provide a supportive atmosphere for women
engineering students at UBC. So far, we’ve done well.
The year began with the Annual Sleepover at
the Cheeze. There were makeovers and moustaches,
dirty minds and plenty of Grease. We’ve had a couple
of cozy potlucks and we hosted “Cooking With Beer”
during E-Week.
Our Day of the Longboat teams rocked the
competition in October. “Fast Girls” finished third overall
and” AFEW Crew” came in third in the Moore Division.
“Babes on Blades” fought valiantly in soccer and “Babes
on Boards” are poised to strike in futsol in second term.
On the serious side, we held the successful Salary
Expectations Seminar together with DAWEG, and more
presentations on other professional topics are in the works
as I write.
I’m also very proud of the memorial we put together
this year to remember the 14 women murdered in Montreal
7 years ago. We were able to remember them as engineers
It has been my pleasure to serve.

I have to say that it has truly been a pleasure being
involved with the Chem. Eng. club again this year.
Still, in a way I’m glad it’s my last year here. I can’t
keep up this pace forever.
Our year started out with another successful
”Welcome Back” BBQ, a great MEXICHEM party
1
(with the return of the MOLE), and a very popular
Christmas dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory.
Some of us were lucky enough to attend the CSChE
annual student conference in Kingston, which was an
amazing party. We’ve also had a great year for
sports.., between soccer, ball hockey, volleyball,
ultimate and hamburger hockey, we’ve been kicking
some ass.
This term proves to be equally, if not more exciting
with Kamanawanaleia, 2nd year (dis)orientation,
Professional Night and E-week to look forward to.
Hopefully we won’t completely lose our minds trying
to organize the AIChE student paper competition that
we will be hosting this April.
I’d like to thank all of the CHML execs who’ve helped
out this year (and there are a lot of you!), and those of
you who took part in our events. For those of you
who haven’t discovered us yet, come and say hi!
(Thursdays at 12:30 in the clubroom) You still have
time to experience the best years of your life.

jhave been here for (4 years
for some and 6 years for
others, but it all averages out). Not
only have we gained valuable
technical knowledge that will
prepare us for the outside world,
but more importantly, we have
gained life experiences. This is what
we will take with us when we leave
UBC.
The outside world is full of new
and wonderful challenges that can’t
be explained in any text book, nor
can it be tested on any exam. These
challenges will be due to technical problems, social skills, personal communication and a
wide variety of other issues. The Civil engineering department has tried to face these
concerns by expanding the program through the inception of the environmental option
and the cooperative education program. This graduating class is the first to have
environmental option graduates as well as the first class to have co-op graduates, a definite
sign of the times.
Enjoy your time as a student, these are some of toughest years to endure, but they
are also some of the most exciting years to experience. As you depart from this institution
of “higher learning,” you will find that everyone will veer off in different directions; no
longer is there required courses to hold everyone together. So as we all go off meandering
through life, remember this, and take it with you:

Susana Harder organized a field trip to the Seymour Falls
Reservoir and Dam. The Greater Vancouver Water Works
District treated nearly 15 interested students to a tour which
included the dam, reservoir, chlorination plant, and the pilot
filtration plant. The new filtration plants may be built at other
water sources in the next few years.
SOCIAL EVENTS
Several social events brought Civils together this year. OctoberfEUSt, pool &
bowling night, Lazer Tag, Arts County Fair, Boat Cruise, Engineer’s Ball, are
the organized ones. Many hundreds of informal ones also occurred. As of
publication, we have pictures from OctoberfEUSt, pool & bowling night, and
last year’s Arts Fair. All events are raucous good times which participants
cannot forget--without “help”.

Faculty and staff Used peer pressure
to ensure Tequila Elf (Phu Nguyen,
1996 grad) wasn’t bored at the
“brilliantly” decorated (thanks, 2nd
years) Jamaican-theme Christmas
party. “Hey, c’mon now, everybody
else is doing one” and “You have to,
it’s all in the Christmas spirit” coerced
most profs who resisted. (“Resistance
is futile.”)
Rasta Santa (James Hampton)
came to show student esteem of profs
and gave them a case of wine--a bottle
at a time--and other, less lavish, gifts.
After Santa left, everyone stayed
for a while and a good time... Some
even past the room booking (profs,
too).

Well the Slipstick deadline has come, we’ve just finished the
EE Klub mEEting and I’ve had more than my share of the
frEE bEEr, it’s time for the Prez spew. Let me think
The yEEr started off with an EExcellent 2hmcoming. I still
can’t believe two kegs could be drank so fast, before the
resistor races began even. Good thing we could get a third
keg from the Cheeze. You can never have to much bEEr.
Best of all no one broke any bones (myself included).
Christmas was a Glogg-infested great time. We even had
Christmas songs displayed on the EE sign in the Cheeze.
Cheers to Easter Glogg! The rabid squirrel inhabiting the
Kiubroom loved the supply of fresh donuts as much as the
rest of us did. He shredded everything within rEEch. It’s the
only time I’ve ever been able to truly say “the squirrel ate
my homework!” More grate fun still to come, and with a
(hopefully) EExcellent turnout: E-Week, Japanese Student
Nite, rEEch for the Kone and a rescheduled SongfEUSt (due
to library construction). So much fun (and bEEr), so little
time.
In summary, the yEEr wouldn’t have been the same if it
wasn’t for the grate efforts of all the EE Exec’s and X
Officio’s. Thanx to all the EE alumni for coming out,
especially Johan for enrolling again (the legend continues).
See you all next yEEr.

UBC IEEE Student Branch
Networking you to your Profession.
A few words from the Chair:
This year, we set out to achieve three goals: 1) to expand on the professional events that
we organize, 2) to be more socially active and 3) to be the liaison between the Department
and Student Body. A number of positions were created for these purposes: Power
Engineering Society Chair, Careers Rep, Department Reps and a Social Coordinator. In
addition, a catch-phrase “Networking you to your Profession.” was created to promote the
Branch’s motto. The year started off with a blast having just two weeks to organize
Orientation for the 2nd years. A plus side to that, we managed to persuade eighty-five
new members to join the Branch. The rest of the events in the first term were well attended
with special mention to EE Orientation, Fireworks Night, State Machine Contest and the
Ski Trip during Christmas. In the second term, Anson, Wilson, Ivor and I put on a seminar
on “The UNIX Operating System” to familiarize the 2nd years to the EE network. The conclusion: BORING! Then, an
overwhelming crowd packed MCLD 228 to attend the first of a series of the “Non-Curriculum Technical Seminar”. The topic?
st Century”, a workshop
“Introduction to JAVA”. S-PAC this year included a panel discussion on “Engineering Opportunities in the 21
on Entrepreneurship and a seminar on Engineering Consulting. Our annual field trip brought us to Silicon Valley this year with tours
to Intel, HP, SGI, Cisco, NASA AMES and more. As always, the Mentorship program took place in March and another Ski Trip to
Whistler was organized at the end of the skiing season. Along side with the core events, numerous speakers from various
companies were invited to put on info sessions. Also the company tours were well attended. Contact stuffing and component
packaging were as always stressful. Only way to get help was provide lots of food! In a nutshell, it was definitely an enjoyable and
fruitful year and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the Officers and Executives of the Student Branch who have helped
to make all these possible.

The Men of tyiIci c1i Arn
Greetings Comrades,
The last year has been a fabulous one for our fraternity. It all began at the end of August with our annual
road trip to the 1z convention. Brothers Buttcrack, Screeeeech, Buffy, Sally, Worf and I made our way
rapidly over the 4,000 km. to the windy city of Chicago. Six in a van, didn’t have plan lookin’ for a wo-man
(who knew where a damn gas station was so we wouldn’t get stuck in a corn field in South Dakota).
Our open hose, Animal House, and Beer & Poker event were all tremendously successful gathering us a
strong pledge class. Other gains from these events include brothers having their first confrontation with women
of another sexuality, toga troubled dogs, and obviously cash from all the suckers who think they can play poker.
Throughout the year we have also shared many experiences with the AE ladies. Our combined efforts
have allowed us to compete together in the first annual Winterphest and the annual food drive. Among other
events we have also started the tradition of extra-curricular Christmas caroling during the holidays.
The hamburger hockey team is truly dominating this year in most checks thrown. Handley cup soccer
seems to be our strong point where we are still completely undefeating, but enjoy playing and threatening other
players more than any other team. Apparently we are the only team in the futsal league that knows that the only
true way to score goals is by putting the defender and the ball into the oppositions net (even referees tend to have
little knowledge of this common rule).
Plans for the rest of the year include road and off-road trips galore. At the end of January we will grace
the fine city of Calgary with our appearance at WECC. Reading break will take us to our Californian brothers at
Alpha and the end of exams will ensure that we go camping.
We are looking forward to the continuos strengthening of our chapter and the EUS. I’m a little (well
that’s a lie) inebriated at the moment and we will have to continue this conversation later over a smooth single
malt. I’ve heard that Glen Garioch is nice stuff.

President’s Note
And so it came to pass, that may of us DID pass the year and
consequently are now faced with the perilous confusion of the
“real” world. After 4++ years of school, I’m sure that we have
the collective skills and knowledge to efficiently design such
complex mechanisms as fine metal cube or a stellar door wedge.
As the end draws near, I reflect back on ninety-six and seven and
of the good times and great folks who have made for a fantastic year...
As usual, we once again proved that sleep is indeed an art, especially starting at about 8:31 in the morning with such potent
sedatives as (excuse me for what I miss) 260, 265, 351, 380, 466, etc... As engineers we also developed such effective testwriting techniques as “wing and a prayer” midterms and “sheer conjecture” style finals...
On the Club Mech front, we had a terrific group who dedicated time and energy into making the year fun for everyone.
Starting with the BBQ’s in the fall, where one and all could enjoy the sun and sand at the expense of 12:30 classes, we quickly
assembled a ringer team for the UVIC Football Tourney, where fueled by a sleepless night and some hefty shots of tequila we
barely missed victory. We then decided to balance the budget by blowing off some cash on Subs for the Subway bash.
Then came the Fooze Tourney (author’s note: I sincerely hope that by the time you read this we have won OUR trophy back
from the civils). Next came the Second Annual Price is Right, featuring Bob Barker and a phenomenal pair of Barker’s
Beauties. (Incidentally, some photos were taken that could serious damage a political career should some of us ever run for
office.)
The Christmas Party was another great budget leveler which introduced Club Mech to some of the intricacies of deficit
spending. Thanks to all the truly poetic souls who took target practice at the profs with their moving verses... The ski trip to
Big White(out) was a blast, which earned us some interesting nick-names and was good training for the trip to California at
reading break.
The rest is yet to be written (it’s January now) but I will be a bit prophetic and congratulate you all in advance for the proud
Mech domination of E-Week! In particular. I’d like to make a toast to the cool stunts, loud parties and hearty livers. Cheers.
Perhaps most of all I’d like to thank all the dedicated individuals who kept Club Mech going throughout the year. I won’t
name names since I know I’ll miss somebody, but to all those who helped out in organizing trips, feedback sessions, picking
up cans, talking to faculty, playing fooze, eating donuts, maintaining the machines, cracking jokes at meetings, and so on
give yourself a whopping pat on the back.
-

Best of Luck to the Grads and those continuing to study. Thanks y’all so much a great year!
Faithfully yours.

President’s Message
The 1996/1997 year marked a new beginning for the Mining and
Mineral Processing Students at UBC. On January 8, 1997, the
Mining & Mineral Processing Engineers Undergraduate Society
was born. It serves as a new platform from which all student
activities will be administered. Along with the incorporation of the
Society, the MMPE students invited all of the graduates of the
department to the First Annual Mining & Mineral Processing
Engineers Undergraduate Society Alumni dinner at the Pan Pacific
Hotel on March 1, 1997. This dinner inaugurated a unity between
the members of the society and the graduates of the department.
We also participated in three intercollegiate mining competitions
this year in Butte Montana, Edmonton Alberta, and Lead South
Dakota. They were both a learning experience and a lot of fun. Our
hamburger hockey team was strong again this year, and we also
had many other sports teams that did well. I have had a lot of fun
serving as your President this year, and wish the best to everyone in
the future.
