“Now, theoretically, anybody with a computer can spread a falsified story exceedingly quickly,” said Tworek of the digital age. “So that presents a somewhat new challenge that we need to grapple with.”

either paltry or missing entirely from many historical archives, a lesson Tworek learned the hard way while researching her forthcoming book.

“One of the things I desperately wanted to find [was] how did people understand what was being printed, especially people of all backgrounds,” she recalled. “But for most people you couldn’t find that, so that was a lesson — the hard way — of the silences of history and the many groups who we cannot find.”

In Canada in particular, Tworek noted that Indigenous voices are not often found in archives of history in the same volume as the perspectives of settler Canadians.

“Very often, the archives don’t give you answers to the questions that you wish they did ... and you have to learn how to excavate history on its own terms,” said Tworek.

“We have to think about ways that we can try and represent these voices or find these voices in meaningful ways.”

Now, Tworek is working to inform current policy with her historical perspective on how decisions have come to impact media and democracy for decades at a time. She recently coauthored a report on addressing harmful speech online in Canada, a “fairly unusual thing for a historian to do.”

“Given the sorts of issues that I was working on, it was a fairly natural transition at this moment when our democratic institutions are facing new challenges,” said Tworek, noting that, as the report illustrates, many women and members of other marginalized groups find it hard to express themselves online due to fear of harassment.

“So how do we balance freedom of speech with the ways in which the internet is creating a platform that can crowd people out?” she asked.

“Theoretically, creative expression exists on the internet … [but] I’m showing with my history ... how that is and isn’t true.” U

As chief sub-editor of a student paper at Cambridge during her undergraduate degree, Dr. Heidi Tworek was more concerned with catching mistakes and writing headlines than with studying news itself. After one changed graduate dissertation topic, however, Tworek finds herself investigating not only the history of news, “but how news is really created” in a time when the media is under increasing scrutiny.

“I’m trying to find many different ways to think through those really big questions about how news gets produced, who is controlling it, who’s trying to control it ... and how does or doesn’t it affect the course of history,” said Tworek, now an assistant professor of history at UBC. She’s also fighting back against the notion that concerns about false information and “fake news” are new phenomena of the internet age.

“If we look at the 400-year history of news — so since newspapers were really invented — people have long been concerned about these questions of what is true and what is false,” said Tworek, noting that concerns about falsified moon landings didn’t just start when the space race took hold midway through the 20th century.

First, there was a satire of the printed news industry faking a moon landing by playwright Benjamin Jonson performed in front of King James I in 1620.

Then in 1835, the New York Herald published the “great moon hoax” to sell issues as the penny press began to take hold in the wake of urbanization and mass printing.

“And now of course, we have the conspiracy theories about whether there was a man on the moon in the first place,” she said. “So I guess the moon is a constant.”

But the internet has certainly changed the game. Tworek, whose book about how mass media was used by Germany in the early 20th

‘Silences of history’ Just as many might not think news itself has a history, international organizations are just now coming into the spotlight as subjects of historical enquiry — and Tworek is leading the way.

While teaching at Harvard — where she also earned her master’s and PhD — Tworek founded the United Nations (UN) History Project, a public resource centre for the study of international organizations within and beyond the scope of the UN. “It’s not easy to research the history of international organizations because you can’t really just go to the archive of the international organization [or] you would just get a certain point of view,” said Tworek, who has encouraged students at both UBC and Harvard to contribute content and resources as the site grows.

Since coming to Canada, she has added a section on middle powers and non-permanent members of the Security Council to broaden the project’s relevance north of the 49th parallel.

“This is also not just about the peacekeeping and war-making aspects of international relations, but rather, an attempt to understand the broader ways in which international organizations shape our lives.”

EQUAL REPRESENTATION //

Engineering progresses towards 50 per cent female enrolment, but falls short of 2020 goal “It’s kind of like, ‘I want to put a person on the moon.’ It was very forward-thinking,” she said, adding that 2025 is “actually a more reasonable goal.”

Engineering Undergraduate Society (EUS) VP Academic Tyra Phillips also sees the goal as a “call to action,” and noted it has been successful in motivating the university to improve its outreach efforts to women in the faculty.

Racing for 50/50

“Seventy per cent of future jobs are going to require STEM literacy.”

Henry Anderson Staff Writer

Despite rising numbers of women entering engineering at UBC, the faculty will not achieve its goal of equal representation by 2020.

In 2015, UBC’s faculty of applied sciences announced it would aim for 50 per cent female enrolment — far above the 2017

national average of 21.8 per cent — by 2020.

Female enrolment at UBC engineering was at 22 per cent in 2013, and has risen to 32 per cent in the 2018/19 academic year.

“It is a really important milestone to reach 30 per cent — because when you’re in a classroom and there’s almost one third of the class that is like you, it feels different,” said Dr.

Sheryl Staub-French, dean’s advisor on equity, diversity and inclusion for the faculty of applied sciences.

“You’re not so aware of the differences.”

However, she conceded the faculty will likely fall significantly short of 50 per cent by 2020, a goal that Staub-French called “aspirational” because it was primarily intended to spur change.

stem //

In the meantime, the faculty and the EUS are continuing initiatives to attract and support female students, despite some early hurdles.

One of their goals was to hire more female engineering professors.

The percentage of women in assistant professor positions in the faculty rose from 13 per cent in 2013 to 36 per cent in 2018.

On the other hand, the growth has been slow at the full professor level, with only a two per cent increase from seven per cent in 2013.

Phillips also highlighted a note-writing campaign by professors and students congratulating female high school students on their UBC admission.

“I know that personally, I’ve written probably 30 to 50 letters,” she said, “and people come up to me saying, ‘Hey, I remember you.

I’ve seen your name.’ So I think that those kind of initiatives are really good.”

Beyond this student group, the faculty has also ramped up its outreach effort to younger students through a program called Geering Up UBC Engineering & Science for Kids.

In 2013, Geering Up had only about 5,000 participants. Last year, this number grew to 22,500 participants, almost half of whom were girls from 51 communities across BC. Staub-French added that Geering Up has expanded its teacher training program, which provides workshops for Grade 6 and 7 teachers on how to be “messengers of engineering and what it is and how to think about it.”

“Seventy per cent of future jobs are going to require STEM literacy,” said Staub-French. “So whatever the underrepresented groups are, in any discipline, we want to make sure that those underrepresented groups are given opportunity.” U

BC inaugurates new scholarships AMS peer-counselling service sees surge of visits for female students in tech James Vogl Science Editor

A new scholarship from the Irving K. Barber British Columbia Scholarship Society (IKBBCSS) aims to lower the barrier to entry for women in technology.

The award, whose inaugural recipients include eight UBC students, was announced by Premier John Horgan in May 2018 after the Ministry of Advanced Education, Skills and Training awarded a $500,000 grant to the IKBBCSS. The award is open to women in BC studying computer science, engineering or mathematics. One of the ten scholarships is reserved for women of Indigenous heritage.

Recipients are selected based on their academic performance and the extent of their commitment towards pursuing a career in a technology-related field.

“Our government wants to move the dial and break down barriers for women following their dreams of a tech career, with opportunities such as systems analysts, computer programmers, and engineers,” said Minister of Advanced Education, Skills and Training Melanie Mark in a written statement.

The $10,000 awards are discretionary, but many of the UBC winners said that they plan to use the money for tuition support, freeing them from the stress of having to work while in school.

“I’m involved with the Computer Science Student Society,

The recipients all emphasized the importance of perseverance.

and I plan the technical career fair. That’s not a paid position, but it takes a lot of time,” explained third-year computer science major Amy Zhu, one of the 2018 award recipients. She says the scholarship will allow her to focus more energy on that position.

“That’s the flexibility you’re granted,” she said.

Scholarship winners say the value of the award lies in the increased visibility it brings to women in technology and that it provides young women with role models they can readily identify with.

“It can be discouraging sometimes when you feel underrepresented and people undermine your opinions,” said Jobina Tamminga, a third-year combined major in computer science and biology and the recipient of the Indigenous women in technology scholarship.

“I think scholarships like these really encourage women to keep going,” she said.

For Giulia Mattia, who is in the final year of her computer science major, the award was as much about the connections she formed with the other recipients as it was about the money.

“It was just really cool meeting the other girls that were also recipients and just hearing their stories,” she said.

For young women considering pursuing a career in tech, all the recipients emphasized the importance of perseverance and staying true to your passions.

“If studying computer science or going into a technology-related field is something you want to do, I would say ‘Just do it,’ because in the end the people who undermine you and discourage you from moving forward won’t matter,” said Tamminga. U

Speakeasy is on track to double its number of individual visits from last year.

Sara Flamer Contributor

The AMS’s peer support service is seeing a substantial influx in visits this year, signalling the significant need for more mental health services on campus.

This year, Speakeasy — a support service that offers informal counselling and peer support — is on track to double its number of individual visits from last year.

According to AMS Student Services Manager Piers Fleming, 85 students visited Speakeasy last semester alone, compared to only 90 throughout the entirety of last year.

Fleming believes this uptick is a result of increased awareness of how mental health affects students.

“In today’s society there has been a general trend of talking

Zak VESCERA

more about mental health and opening that discussion up a bit more,” he said.

Speakeasy has also moved to a new location on the third floor of the Nest and now accepts bookings online, which Fleming says also could contribute to the new surge in visits.

The service has run repeated workshops on subjects like selfcompassion and how to better support your friends. It’s not a formal counselling service, but does connect students to professional resources when the need exists. “[It] lets students express whatever’s on their mind, knowing that they will have someone to listen to them,” said Fleming. “From there, Speakeasy can refer out or provide resources that the student can then choose to use.” U

India is UBC’s fastest-growing international student group

Salomon Micko Benrimoh Staff Writer

India has surpassed China as the fastest-growing international student group on campus, according to UBC enrolment reports.

Though China is still the largest country of origin for international students, with 4,406 undergraduates and 817 postgraduates enrolled in 2017/18, the Indian student population has seen the biggest jump in numbers.

Between the 2013/14 and 2017/18 academic years, Indian undergraduate enrolment has grown from 200 to 726 students — a 263 per cent increase. For postgraduate enrolment, there has been a 59 per cent increase from 216 to 344 students.

In comparison, there has been a 147 per cent increase in Chinese undergraduate enrolment and an 11 per cent increase in postgraduate enrolment since 2013.

body — or 14,660 students — are international.

Damara Klaassen, senior director of the UBC International Student Initiative, said the university is aware of the increasing enrolment of Indian students.

“Consistent marketing and recruitment efforts, and strong relationships built with good secondary schools around the world, allow UBC to sustain our international enrolments,” Klaassen wrote to The Ubyssey.

Ethan Fernandes, a second-year Sauder student, said he was drawn

by UBC’s reputation as well as the political climate in the United States.

“My parents wanted me to go to a school with a good international

ranking so that I could graduate with an internationally recognised degree,” Fernandes said. “... A lot of people that previously had their eyes set on the US are now shifting their gaze to Canada because of the uncertain political climate in the States.”

Increasing enrolment of Indian students isn’t just a trend at UBC. In 2015, there were 12,040 study permit holders from India in BC. That more than doubled to 29,735 by the end of 2017. By April 2018, the total number grew to 31,815 across the province.

In a statement to The Ubyssey, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada attributed the rise to the country’s “diverse, welcoming society, highquality educational institutions and opportunities to work or immigrate after graduation.”

“The Government of Canada recognizes the tremendous economic, cultural and social benefits that international students bring to Canada.” U

“It would be deeply violent to benefit from that territory without also being engaged with decolonizing it.”

Zak Vescera & Tristan Wheeler News and Blog & Opinion Editors

Hundreds marched through downtown Vancouver last Tuesday in solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en anti-pipeline camp in northern BC. The rally, one of many across Canada, comes a day after the Unist’to’ten camp was raided by the RCMP under a Supreme Court injunction for blocking the path of a 670-kilometre LNG Coastal GasLink pipeline.

Protestors marched from the provincial courthouse to Victory Square, chanting support for Indigenous sovereignty and decrying the pipeline’s construction.

“I’m here because I’m on unceded territory, and as someone who benefits from that every day I have a responsibility when I see colonialism affecting people I

care about,” said second-year UBC student Hannah Stanley.

Stanley was one of many students in UBC First Nations and Indigenous Studies courses who took part in the march.

Third-year student Irene Duthion said her professor cancelled class so that interested student could take their learning beyond the classroom.

“It’s something I take at heart, not just learning it in a classroom but also living it in my everyday life,” said Duthion. “... There’s Indigenous oppression around the globe, even in my home country, Costa Rica. Stolen lands and Indigenous sovereignty are still not recognized.”

Former UBC student Nodi Yunus echoed this sentiment.

“This is a very extreme case of colonial violence and a violation of Indigenous jurisdiction and

described as illegal encroachment on Indigenous territory — not just at Unist’to’ten, but across the country.

“History is calling up on all of us,” said Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs. “I want to say to Prime Minister Trudeau: ‘Welcome to battleground British Columbia.’” U

sovereignty,” said Yunus. They said their attendance was also tied to decolonization at UBC’s own Vancouver campus, which sits on unceded Musqueam territory.

“It would be deeply violent to benefit from that territory without also being engaged with decolonizing it,” said Yunus.

“So as part of that as well, I’m concerned with decolonizing other territories.”

Other demonstrators emphasized the issue of climate change: one group of protestors lifted a massive pipeline prop throughout the length of the march, and the demonstration paused briefly to chant below the Coastal GasLink offices on Granville Street.

“If we don’t deal with climate change, civilization itself is at threat,” said climate activist and former UBC professor David Suzuki.

As the AMS nears paying off its operational debt, it contemplates lowering fees

All UBC fraternity members will now receive yearly SASC training

Failure of a fraternity to complete the yearly training by the November 1 will result in a $1,000 fine, to be donated to the SASC.

“Basically, the long term goal for the AMS is to make the Nest sustainable and make this society run by itself without collecting student fees.”

henry anderson Staff Writer

The AMS is only a few years away from repaying what was once millions of dollars in accumulated operational debt.

At the AMS’s last Annual General Meeting on October 23, 2018, Managing Director Keith Hester announced that the society had generated a $900,000 surplus over the past year.

With the society’s operational debt just years away from being fully repaid and generous surpluses forecasted for the future, the society may be able to eventually operate without annual student fees — or at least reduced ones.

Today, that surplus is used to pay the AMS’s operational debt, which sat at $1.9 million during the 2017/18 fiscal year according to VP Finance Kuol Akuechbeny.

That debt accumulates when the AMS operates on a deficit, when they spend more money than they receive from student fees or generate with their businesses, such as food outlets.

It’s different from the long-term debt the society took on to pay for the construction of the Nest, which now sits at $64 million. Each student pays an annual fee of $100 towards this loan, which will be paid off in just under 20 years.

Akuechbeny doesn’t expect future surpluses to be quite as high as this year’s, but has still budgeted a surplus of $300,000 to $500,000 for 2019/20 and onward.

Under these estimates, the AMS will pay off its remaining $1 million of operational debt in “two, three years,” said Akuechbeny.

REduCEd fEES, iMPROVEd SERViCES On hORiZOn Once that operational debt is paid off, Akuechbeny said

the surpluses will go towards enhancing student services.

“Basically, the long term goal for the AMS is to make the Nest sustainable and make this society run by itself without collecting student fees,” he said.

The AMS currently receives over $21 million in annual student fees that finance events, its businesses, student services and society administration.

Every student pays a $41.15 annual membership fee to join the society and separate fees finance AMS-run programs like the Financial Assistance Fund ($12.00), AMS Athletics and Intramurals ($21.00) and Sexual Assault Support Services Fund ($3.63).

Akuechbeny admitted that self-sufficiency is an ambitious target and he does not expect it to be realized for many years.

“It’s hard to predict [how long it will take] now, given that we have debt not only from financing the building but also from operational debt,” said Akuechbeny, “so when we have that covered, then we’ll be able to properly assess and see how we need to do that moving forward.”

There is some concern that since its customers are predominantly UBC students, AMS businesses should not be run for profit, even if surpluses do end up funding student services.

Business practices that focus on the bottom line could result in overcharging students.

But in the wake of this recent surplus, Akuechbeny is optimistic.

“So far its seems that we, the society, are on a good track with the mission and also goal to achieve that financial sustainability,” he said.

“I know it’s going to take a long time, but that’s the overall goal of the society.” U

UBC fraternity members will now have to complete a yearly training session on consent, bystander intervention and healthier masculinity.

The Inter-Fraternity Council (IFC) — the executive body that represents all 10 fraternities, or approximately 1,514 members — unanimously enacted a bylaw change requiring the programming at a meeting last Tuesday night.

The initiative began with a push to better educate executives of the Greek system on dealing with sexual misconduct within the community. For the first time this past October, all executives and new members of the fraternities had to attend a

session hosted by the AMS Sexual Assault Support Centre (SASC).

According to IFC President Jamie Gill, 100 per cent of new members and executives and 72 per cent of the total membership attended the sessions, meaning a significant number of members chose to attend even though it wasn’t mandatory.

With this high response rate, the IFC felt it was a logical next step to update the bylaw to ask entire chapters to come in subsequent years.

“We don’t have a lot of red tape to cross [like other bodies] — when we want something to get done and it’s for the right reasons, we get the stuff done,” said Gill.

Alex Dauncey, who heads the SASC’s Healthier Masculinities program, created the custom

program just for the fraternities by combining three pillars: consent, bystander intervention and healthier masculinity. He worked with Gill to present the information in a way that would be familiar and helpful to the Greek community.

“The idea of doing this more makes me really, really excited.

And really inspired that this group of people, they’re taking it seriously,” said Dauncey. “... The biggest thing that they can do is take it seriously.”

Failure of a fraternity to complete the yearly training by November 1 — meaning that if at the end of the available sessions throughout October, some members have not attended — will result in a $1,000 fine, to be donated to the SASC. “The idea right now is if there is one member of a 100-man chapter who doesn’t feel motivated to come to these seminars, that he would maybe feel motivated by a $1,000 fine,” said Gill, “... and the way that Alex runs these, is that if you’re there with closed ears, you’ll still hear stuff, which is amazing.”

A key part of the workshop focuses on creating positive norms and a “new standard,” something that Dauncey notes will be key to dismantling campus sexual assault culture.

“Because we can have a onetime discussion about it. But that’s just a one-time discussion — how is this going to seep into what they do? How are they going to take this up and really make it a part of their identity?” U

Free Fall makes space for ‘unintentional’ art at the Hatch

ISABELLA FALSETTI

“It’s part of the art!”

Riya Talitha Senior Staff Writer

The plastic dolls suspended from a central beam in the Hatch Art Gallery are stunning, but undeniably eerie.

The exhibit, Free Fall, is by artist Ran Zhou, a fifth-year visual arts and art history double honours student. Zhou sourced the dolls from a factory in China and coloured them the bright, jarring red herself.

“It’s a pretty labour intensive process,” said Zhou.

Zhou is a quintessential visual arts student, and described her inspiration behind the exhibition with a passion that matched the intensity of the art itself.

“I was thinking ... we don’t have the right to decide who we really want to be. We’re born to a certain kind of family and we get a certain kind of education. What we are experiencing is not in our hands,” explained Zhou.

The experience of Free Fall is more disturbing the closer you go and the harder you look. There is something so jarring about disembodied plastic dolls hanging from strings — the materials form an image that almost looks like a

ISABELLA FALSETTI

wall, or perhaps a beautiful but toxic anemone. When you walk past the baskets sitting along the edges of the room, you’re likely to accidentally kick some of the dolls, which only serves to increase the atmosphere of creeping dread.

“It’s a time-based installation,” said Zhou. This means the strings of dolls hanging from the ceiling tend to get loose and fall regularly.

“I didn’t design this myself, but when I first installed these they started falling down and then I [thought], ‘Oh! It works!’”

This enthusiastic flexibility seems to be a running theme throughout the exhibit, which is adaptable according to the room it is displayed in. Free Fall is already booked for a run at Vancouver’s Z Gallery Arts later on this year.

Zhou doesn’t want to direct the audience’s thoughts. The only text in Free Fall is an ambiguous and vaguely ominous poster with lines like “Laws, Algorithms. We are dependent, reliable. We are available sources.”

With an air of nonchalance, Zhou explained, “I just give some words and then the connection between words can be naturally found by readers.”

While there are undoubtedly

links between the artwork and the poster, the words on the poster seem to have no connection to each other.

They reference at least three highly distinct concepts: Child abuse, education systems and simulations of reality, in the most logically disparate manner imaginable. The name Free Fall conveys a sense of institutional nonchalance while the piece, according to Zhou, is more about overwhelming control.

Nonetheless, as it is such a powerful work of art, it seems highly likely that someone who didn’t talk with the artist could still very easily work out a coherent meaning for themselves. That said, it is equally possible that any meaning they could find has already been predicted by Zhou, who has cast an extremely wide net in her conception of the piece.

If her oversights in Free Fall are in itself a reflection of the systems she references however, she is truly a benevolent artist.

During the exhibit opening, an unfortunate audience member bumped into one of the strings. As it crashed down, Zhou was quick to reassure them.

UBC is one of the most popular filming locations in Vancouver, racking up a total of 91 onscreen appearances according to GoCompare, which compares all of the different filming locations around the world.

So what makes UBC so appealing to a filmmaker’s eye?

“UBC has old school look[s], [and] we’ve got new look[s],” said Arlene Chan, UBC events and film liaison. “It meets with the scripts everywhere.”

There is a certain charm to campus, with its high towers, ivycovered buildings and tree-lined streets, that make directors and producers flock to the university.

According to Chan, the more popular locations to shoot are Main Mall, Cecil Green College, Thunderbird Stadium and the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts.

Films from different walks of life all seem to converge here.

The soccer scenes from She’s the Man, starring Amanda Bynes, were filmed on the fields of Thunderbird Stadium (“Welcome to Illyria, welcome, welcome, welcome!”) and X-Men Origins: Wolverine, was filmed at Buchanan

Tower as an African Fortress.

Students on campus during the summer of 2017 received quite a bit of shock when they saw swastikas plastered all over campus for the filming of TV series The Man in the High Castle, which is about a dystopian alternate universe where the Axis Powers won World War II. Chan was quick with reassurances that the university was not condoning Nazism.

Glimpses of UBC can also be spotted on TV series Legion, featuring Martha Piper Plaza and Koerner’s Library. Supernatural, which recently premiered its 14th season, uses the Iona Building as Crawford Hall. The reboot of

The X-Files even had some of its episodes filmed at Main Mall.

Most importantly, who could forget the 2015 Valentine’s Day release of Fifty Shades of Grey?

The Chan Centre was where Christian Grey made his speech for Anastasia Steele’s graduation ceremony at her university in Vancouver… Washington.

As the new term begins, it’s been pretty quiet around campus in terms of filming. But on any future shoots, Chan is tight-lipped.

“If [productions] haven’t aired, we’d prefer if that doesn’t get disclosed, just as of yet,” Chan said. “As for what’s coming down in the future, it’s pretty difficult to say.” U

‘We said everything we wanted to in the pictures’: PhD PhotoVoice project showcases experiences of displacement Riya Talitha Senior Staff Writer

The Liu Institute for Global Issues recently wrapped up a a photoexhibition called Can the Displaced Speak? Refugee Muslim Young Women Negotiating Identity and Belonging Through the Camera Lens.

The exhibition was the result of a year-long PhotoVoice project facilitated by UBC PhD candidate and Public Scholar Neila Miled. It featured a collection of photographs taken by 10 young Muslim women, displaced from their home countries, who now live and study in British Columbia.

The exhibit opening welcomed viewers with tables of delicious Middle-Eastern food and other refreshments, while the back of the room had papers, colourful sketch pens and posters asking the questions “What is Belonging?” and “How has this exhibition informed your understanding of Belonging and/or Displacement?”

In her opening remarks, Miled explained her vision behind the project.

“We talk a lot about Muslim girls [and] women, but we rarely

see them talking about themselves or expressing their opinions or sharing their perspectives.”

It was easy to see how Miled, a magnetic speaker, had connected with the young women.

The pictures they took were of everyday things: a bridge, a window, cookies and a particularly sweet portrait of some of the girls’ hands. The captions were written by the girls themselves and told their own stories of war, loss and violence, but also of new friendships, celebrations and the comfort their faith gave them.

“The debate has been always about the discomfort with [Muslim women’s] scarves, hijabs [and] niqabs. It is always a discourse that negates these women’s agency, commodifies their bodies and silences their voices,” said Miled.

During the question and answer session at the end of the reception, one of the audience members asked if the girls had anything they wanted to share. After a brief whispered conference, one of them answered and Miled translated the reply.

“No, we said everything we wanted in the pictures.” U

Kim’s Convenience star Simu Liu talks Asian-Canadian representation and the “trendiness” of Asian stories in the media

He’s also a ladies man who enjoys spending time with his shirt off — you’re welcome.

Helena Zhang Contributor

When UBC’s Asian Canadian and Asian Migration Studies program (ACAM) announced their “Asian Canadian Representation and Media: Public Q&A with Simu Liu,” I had just finished binge-watching two seasons of Kim’s Convenience, and was getting ready to watch Crazy Rich Asians and Searching in the midst of “Asian August.”

I was particularly excited to hear what Liu had to say about being a star in Canada’s first Asian-lead sitcom, Kim’s Convenience — a show that follows a Korean-Canadian family that owns a corner store. In it, Liu plays Jung, the estranged older brother who dropped out of school and is now getting his life together. He’s also a ladies man who enjoys spending time with his shirt off — you’re welcome.

HELENA ZHANG

In other words, his character is pretty atypical of classic Asian male stereotypes.

The event took place at the Old Auditorium to a full house.

Professors Dr. John Paul Catungal and Dr. Chris Lee started the night with a land acknowledgement, followed by the history of ACAM — a program created in honour of the 76 Japanese students that were forcibly removed from UBC in 1942.

Afterwards, Liu was brought to the stage where he introduced himself and discussed his own journey to becoming Jung.

It’s a narrative that resonated with myself and I’m sure many others in the audience. How do you navigate being true to yourself while also honouring the sacrifices your parents made?

For Liu, that meant getting laid off from his accounting job before risking it all to pursue acting.

Following his introduction, Catungal facilitated a discussion featuring questions from the audience. Unsurprisingly, a room full of UBC students had some tough ones.

What does it mean for Liu as a Chinese-Canadian to play a Korean-Canadian? For him, playing Jung was more about how he personally connected with the character, noting the ways he related to Jung as a son to immigrant parents. Liu also said that if Jung had required more authentic Korean-isms, or the ability to speak Korean, he would have graciously stepped aside for a more suitable actor.

What does full Asian representation look like to him?

Liu replied with the idea that “full Asian representation” would look something along the lines of Asians of all descents being able to see themselves on screen. In addition to that, Catungal added that “full Asian representation” would also look like diversity in sexual orientation, gender identity, religion and class as well

— a complete departure from how stereotypes that have represented Asians up until that point.

One of the most popular questions of the night was what he thought of the critiques of Crazy Rich Asians and its representation of class. Liu understood the necessity for the critiques, but ultimately saw the success of Crazy Rich Asians as a watershed moment so that more films with more nuanced representations could come after it.

He also jokingly asked the audience why we couldn’t give him easier questions, like whether Shannon and Jung were ever going to get together.

Jokes aside, Liu made a gracious effort in answering our questions and discussing the need for diaspora representation — the representation of POC in countries outside their country of ethnic origin.

My personal favourite moment of the night was the final question.

An audience member brought up whether or not the idea of “Asian August” could be a bad thing, and subsequently lead to oversaturation or “trendiness” of Asian stories in the market before phasing them out again. The question was posed: When would there be “enough” representation?

“This year, a movie called Tag, about white people playing tag came out,” said Liu. “... So, until Asians get our own ‘Tag’ movie ...

I don’t think more representation can ever be a bad thing.” U

A safe space for

UBC Theatre presen W

h ile spending an evening dwelling on the themes of child murder, infidelity and domestic violence probably isn’t anyone’s idea of a light-hearted time, UBC Theatre encourages the audience to consider these difficult topics with their production of Lion in the Streets.

Set in 1990s Ontario, the play comprises eight vignettes, where different characters are either experiencing or reliving intense moments of their lives. What connects these seemingly unrelated scenes is the ghost of nine-yearold Isobel (Sophia Paskalidis), who wanders through her old town, searching for her murderer.

the capital "O" Other Lion has no reservations about bringing marginalized characters to the forefront.

Playwright Judith Thompson designed a play where one of the very few creative liberties that could be taken was to ensure that the main character would be considered an ethnic minority.

Although Isobel is Portuguese in the original script, director Michelle Thorne decided to change her ethnicity to Filipino in order to reflect Paskalidis’s heritage.

Thompson mentions in the preface of the play that Isobel can be portrayed as any ethnicity, as long as she is an other.

“Capital ‘O’ other,” explained lighting director Rachel Shaen.

Lion places a strong emphasis on making the audience aware of this “otherness.” It expects viewers to leave having acknowledged and recognized the similarities between themselves and those seemingly obscured by this “otherness.” It brings to light marginalized groups whose issues are often overlooked and tries to evoke compassion.

“These stories need to be told because these are real people in our lives,” said Paskalidis, “whether we know it or not.”

“I really want the audience to understand that within this fantastical stylized abstract world, these are real people, real voices of real humans,” added Thorne.

The play also asks the audience to consider atrocities linked directly with Canada, instead of merely comparing themselves to the US and absolving themselves of guilt.

“It points a finger at Canadians who point fingers at Americans,” explained Shaen. “...

The show is so distinctly Canadian.”

alternatively abled bodies on stage “When I was originally doing my preproduction work throughout the summer months, I made a list for myself: ‘All the Things That I’m Afraid Of,’” said Thorne.

“And the scene with Christine and Scarlett, who has cerebral palsy, was the number one scene that I was the most afraid of approaching.”

Due to regulations in the Department of Theatre and Film, Thorne was only allowed to cast UBC BFA acting students in their third or fourth year for this production, all of whom are able-bodied performers.

“I’m an able-bodied woman,” said Thorne, “and I don’t have a direct relationship or direct experience of what it’s like to inhabit an alternatively abled body such as the one that Scarlett lives in.”

To overcome this obstacle, Thorne reached out to Theatre Terrific, a local group that supports artists of all abilities in creating provocative theatre. She was put in touch with Lianne Crowe and Willow Eady, who agreed to come on board as cultural consultants for the production.

“Every single time that we rehearsed the scene involving Scarlett and Christine, both of these women with cerebral palsy were a part of the rehearsal process,” said Thorne. “The vocal inflection that the actress Elizabeth Young — who is playing the character of Scarlett — employs are directly taken from Lianne Crowe’s own voice and how cerebral palsy affects her voice.

“All of the choices that came to pass in that scene have been directly in conversation and consultation with those two women.”

murderer,” explained Thorne, “but it also refers to the lion that lives inside of all of us.”

And Lion’s symbolism extends past its title. The production also uses technical and creative elements to convey their own messages throughout the play.

The use of lighting is a large feature, one that may often go unnoticed but enhances the themes and atmosphere.

“I’m trying to make the lighting design very beautiful, but very unsettling,” said Shaen.

Symbolism and the production’s goal of leaving the audience with a sense of relation went hand in hand. Light was used to create different colours and shadows with the intent of representing secrets and, as Shaen put it, “extreme moments of intensity.” This was in hopes the message could be conveyed that “every single person has a shadow just like these characters do.”

The costuming also proved to be a large element in creating a sense of familiarity between the characters and the audience. Costume designer Alice Jiang explained that she dressed characters with an emphasis on being relatable to the audience.

Even though the show is set in the ’90s, the costumes were not made to look like the exaggerated fashion often depicted on screen, but a sincerer portrayal of the everyday individual living in that decade.

Lion plays with the idea of putting the audience at a place of privilege where they recognize the characters as “different people, but people that you’ve seen on the street probably every single day,” said Jiang.

creating a world where dangerous things can happen The all-women production team of Lion in the Streets, unfortunately, doesn’t reflect the real world.

“I think it says something about the times that we get to do this,” said Shaen, “but it also is bad as well. … I think that’s extremely important to say — that once people leave school and try to go into the professional world, that’s when it stops. Especially in lighting design [and] … tech theatre.”

Thorne agreed, though she also mentioned that she’d only seen Lion produced once before — also by a woman. She wondered what it would be like to produce this play with a male director.

“Some of the darker events that happen in the play mostly happen to female characters. There are, of course, male characters that suffer abuse as well in the play. But I think having women supporting and caring for other women is a huge advantage.”

That emphasis on support and care for others has been Thorne’s priority throughout this production. For the actors and crew, the director implemented a self-care table with items that bring comfort — essential oils, adult colouring books and a Buddha. For the audience, it’s a little bit more difficult to develop this trust and communication.

“We’ve taken a lot of steps to make sure that the people involved in the production of the play are safe,” said Thorne. “We can’t do that with all 200 people who are going to be coming each night to the theatre.”

There will be trigger warnings on the doors of the theatre, and Thorne asserts that if an audience member has concerns, they are more than welcome to come find any member of the production team and have a conversation.

Despite this, Thorne hopes that the intensity of subject matter doesn’t stop people from coming to see the play.

“It’s okay if you don’t think that you’re going to be able to enjoy the play or get the message of the play because you are triggered by the material,” said Thorne. “... As important as I think it is for these trigger warnings to be there, I hope that they inspire people to reach into their own strength of their own character.”

The cast echoed these sentiments. “[Michelle] was always repeating to us.

‘We’re creating a safe space where dangerous things can happen, not a dangerous space where safe things can happen,’” said Paskalidis. U

Last Words: Set realistic goals for yourself in 2019 Ubyssey Editorial Board

It’s 2019 and we’ve now settled into the new semester. Around this time of the year, people start to evaluate their lives and goals, whether they’re academic, social or personal. It’s a time when a lot of us take stock and figure out what went wrong and what went right the previous year. You might be disappointed: your term one grades may not have been stellar and you didn’t get the chance to do everything you wanted. Or maybe you’re quite happy — you’re pleased with your grades and you finally reached that goal or overcame that hardship.

Whatever your 2018 was — good or bad — it’s now a good time to try to set a healthy pace and feel for 2019.

The typical move is the blast of New Year’s resolutions. A long list of things you want to do better, make more time for and do less of. While the first few weeks of January may follow these resolutions strictly, few resolutions make their way past reading break.

Just because it’s a new year and new semester doesn’t mean that you have to re-imagine your lifestyle — and we suggest not doing so. The urge to fix and address every single aspect of your life is the exact reason why it’s so hard to stick to resolutions in the first place.

“Look at your goals and ask yourself what you’d realistically be able to do.”

You can’t expect to spend more evenings with friends and study for two hours every day while trying to work out three times a week without one of them slipping. Sure there are people who do that, but it takes time to get there and few can jump headfirst into that drastic lifestyle change and have it be successful. If you happen to be one of the lucky ones

who can, we all hate you.

This semester, try to slowly set up small things that help advance your goals, whatever they might be.

Don’t overwhelm yourself with a complete life re-evaluation or beat yourself up for not meeting the unachievable expectations you’ve set for yourself.

If you want to make more time

for studying, don’t promise yourself that you’ll spend four hours per night studying after previously doing zero. If you want to make more time for friends, don’t think you need to go out on the town every night. Look at your goals and ask yourself what you’d realistically be able to do. Maybe it’s 30 minutes a night studying, or promising your

friends that you’ll go out once or twice a week.

If you take it slow and you’re honest with your time and abilities, it’s far less likely you’ll get burnt out and far more likely you’ll come somewhere near completing your goals. Shooting for the moon to ensure you land among the stars isn’t just for astronauts! U

of valid reasons to say no to an outing, but why does it always feel so hard when you’ve got the invite sitting in your notifications?

In a word, FOMO. In four words, “fear of missing out.” It’s the idea that every moment you’re not somewhere with someone, you’re inevitably missing out on something. Whether that be bonding with the bros, seeing incredible sights or just plain “losing your youth,” there’s always going to be a monkey on your back telling you that the outside world is calling your name and that you’re an outlier for ignoring it. Here’s a few things I’ve learned to use, just to make sure I’m keeping my work and social lives in balance as best I can.

Hey Pawan, I have a hard time saying no to social outings.

Whenever my friends ask me to hang out, even if I’m planning on studying, doing meal prep or legitimately caring for myself, I always say yes. How can I be better at saying no?

Know Yourself, Know Your WORK

It always surprised me how easily a new acquaintance or social group you join can go from arm’slength moderation to a timeconsuming vortex. One moment, you’re trying to get someone’s name down or laughing to yourself about what an odd little group you’ve found and, the next moment, you’re getting the ace of spades tattooed on the small of your back.

While your experience may not be nearly as dramatic, I doubt it’s not a controversial statement to say that just about everyone has confirmed plans with someone, only to realize that saying yes meant they put something important on the back-burner. There are hundreds

If you’re anything like me, there’s been a couple times where you’ve been invited out, you’ve confirmed and you’re ready to rock before you then realize you have some work due the next morning. Usually, next comes the stages of grief in quick succession: disbelief that you made a prior commitment; anger at Google Calendar for not stopping you before; bargaining to understate the importance of your other responsibility; depression when you realize your work-socialself balance is tipping one way; and finally, acceptance if your indiscretion and a commitment to the future. To preempt all of this is to prevent a lot of avoidable stress, so I cannot overstate the importance of having a solid idea

of what your week looks like. If you have your work, social and solo times all clocked into an easilyaccessible calendar, you’ll have a much better chance of not doublebooking and suffering the costs of lost time. Even if you don’t think you can rigidly stick to the times on your calendar, it’ll be an essential tool in keeping cognizant of the approximate time you’ve spent doing things that matter to you.

It’s better to tell someone you’ve already got plans than to give them a ‘Yes’ and flake at the last minute.

Birds of a Feather, Friends Forever Now that you’ve got an iron grip on your schedule, you’ll still find that you’re going to have to make a few judgements and decide on what is more important to you in a given week. While it isn’t necessary to maintain parity among self, social and work hours, being aware of them is key. When it comes to telling someone that you have plans, you’ll quickly see a divide forms between the different reactions you’ll get.

Hopefully, the most common one you’ll get is that of understanding and empathy.

Another reaction you may be faced with is a bit more sensitive, where the person taking the rejection seems to feel threatened or insecure with the response and it seems that the context of the situation has changed. Sometimes these reactions can stem from the other party having been told ‘No’ before or they’re feeling that you aren’t putting in enough

time for them. It is important for you to be able to reinforce your choices in some contexts, but also make reasonable concessions in others. If the other person doesn’t understand why you place such value on one activity and not another, that’s a prime time to assert yourself and give them a peek at the responsibilities you have to yourself, your academia and those you care for. On the other side, if it seems like you underestimated how important an event or social occasion is to someone, a little on-thefly revaluation may not hurt.

That being said, the concept of emotional blackmail is certainly not to be forgotten in such instances.

Telling someone you can’t attend something isn’t a fun conversation to have, but it is something that has only become more necessary in my life as I’ve gotten older and my responsibilities have grown.

Almost as a silver lining, there is a benefit to keeping a tight leash on your time in that you get to see a subtle quality in people: it shows up in their speech and body language when you’ve decided to tell them no. It’s up to you to decide what an appropriate reaction to a given rejection is, but it’s certainly something to look out for when you deliver such news to those in your life. U Uni problems?

Movies, books and podcasts to watch, read or listen to while high Sammy Smart Staff Writer

Cannabis has been legal for four months now and there’s an important factor to address: media consumption while you’re high is a totally different experience than being sober or drunk. Maybe it’s your first time trying it and you’d like to know how to have a great experience while laying across the couch with a bag of chips on the floor.

Or maybe you’re a long-time cannabis connoisseur looking for some suggestion. Either way, here are some suggestions for great media experiences while you’re legally high. And I promise, no Seth Rogen.

Reggie Watts: Spatial (2016) Reggie Watts’s unique form of musical comedy is an experience.

If you enjoy comedy, rhythm and cool mouth noises, definitely give this a watch. At the end you might feel like you were transported into a different dimension and are now waking up in reality once again.

Broad City This show starring Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson is truly a high show for everyone. They’re high

half the time anyway. What could be more satisfying than feeling like you’re running around New York with them, but from your couch?

Hackers (1995) Hackers is a truly intense film that often lacks a discernible plot. If you want to watch one of the best illinformed films about technology, this is it. Also, Angelina Jolie plays a cool hacker lady.

I will never be beautiful enough to make us beautiful together by Mira Gonzalez I definitely believe in poetry as being the best high reading material. Gonzalez, a cannabis consumer herself, wrote this poetry book full of relatable and simultaneously ridiculous ideas.

It’s truly a high read if you like introspection.

Getting Doug With High This podcast hosted by comedian Doug Benson will make you feel like you are in the same room as Benson and his guests. They get high, you get high, you’re basically all together on the same podcast. I especially recommend the episode with Aubrey Plaza and Alia Shawkat. U

Maybe it’s your first time trying it, and you’d like to know how to have a great experience.

You’ve probably walked by this thing a bunch of times. You’ve probably thought, “I wonder what this damn thing is,” and, “What’s its purpose?” We here at The Ubyssey are similarly confused and want answers.

The sculpture has been in the water feature along University Boulevard for a few months now, so it doesn’t seem to be tied to an event or time of year or any sort of political message. So, is it some sort of joke? I really do wish this article could tell you, but we’re not really sure either.

It’s probably a reference to the great sea serpents of the world, such as the Ogopogo or the Loch Ness Monster. But, to what end?

TRISTAN WHEELER

Is it an abstract art installation pointing out the hypocrisy and allusiveness of hoaxes of cryptozoology? But you know what, with no explanation by a person or organization, we’re kind of in the dark over here.

I can say that from a distance it looks like nothing and up close it sort of looks like garbage. This garbage-look isn’t helped by the fact that it has like little fringes made of colourful plastic garbage.

What purpose does a sea monster made of chicken wire and garbage fulfill?

Listen, we don’t want or need a huge press release outlining the production of this weird wire sculpture, we just want a short explanation of why we’re seeing it and what it means. That’s all that any of us at The Ubyssey desire. U

TRIUMF has facilitated 50 years of curiosity and ground-breaking science

Study: Seagull wings could inspire improved drone design

Ask the average person what science looks like and you may get a wide range of answers: Lab coats?

Beakers? Bubbling green liquids?

How about a high-tech cyclotron that uses a 4,000-ton magnet to do cutting-edge particle physics research right here at UBC? That’s precisely what’s at the heart of the TRIUMF institute located just off the UBC campus.

TRIUMF celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2018 with a yearlong schedule of events, granting the public unprecedented access to see and explore its facilities, including its famed cyclotron.

According to Dr. Jens Dilling, associate lab director of the physical science division and adjunct professor of physics at UBC, while 50 years may sound old, the facility is anything but, with areas of study encompassing “molecular materials science, quantum materials, energy storage … developing new methods in artificial intelligence and helping solve problems we cannot solve any other way.”

A great deal of research with applications to society, such as power distribution, photoelectrics and medical isotope production, has been conducted at TRIUMF over the 50 years of its existence. Utilizing particle-acceleration and isotope creation technology like its 500 MeV cyclotron, the largest of its kind in the world, the institute is well-equipped to take on major scientific questions.

Conceived in 1965 as a collaborative effort between four eastern Canadian universities, its first director was appointed

in 1968 and work began on the cyclotron in 1971, continuing until 1974, after which the first particle beam was produced.

With then-Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau quipping, “I don’t really know what a cyclotron is, but I am certainly very happy Canada has one!” while officially commissioning the cyclotron, TRIUMF gained a research capability that was unrivaled at the time in Canada.

When asked about the institute’s impact on society over its years of operation, Dilling also spoke to a different aspect beyond just facilitating important research.

“Human capital is a tremendous thing. We play a big role in inspiring people, in developing people in the educational force, in contributing to a knowledge base in society and evidence-based decisionmaking,” he said.

TRIUMF’s undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral programs comprise a notable contribution to the Canadian talent pool in the field of particle and material physics, with around 100 individuals being employed through these programs at any given time.

Differing from other federallyfunded laboratories operated by the National Research Council in its atmosphere of academic curiosity, scientists at TRIUMF are encouraged to bring up topics of investigation and pursue curiositybased “blue skies” research, as contrasted to the former which are more mission-driven.

“We are funded federally, but the federal government does not operate,” said Dilling, speaking of the institute’s independent academic culture. “It’s very goaloriented … It’s not top down, it’s

bottom-up here. We use complete academic freedom.” As such, there have been many note-worthy discoveries at the institute: one example is research on carbon “Buckyball” molecules that led to the 1996 Nobel Prize in chemistry for its potential to revolutionize nanotechnology and drug delivery.

A combination of a distinct academic culture, high-tech equipment and human capital is what has allowed for the research institution to collaborate across the globe, with partners such as the Helmholtz organization and CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research). An example of this technology is the TRIUMF cyclotron, one of the largest pieces of particle-research equipment built and operated in Canada.

Another asset of the institutes, the Advanced Rare Isotope Laboratory, is set to become a major contributor to rare isotope research, which would have farreaching applications in fields such as medicine, materials science and radioactive waste management.

The centre’s impact on Canada and the world can be seen in many ways. One of these is the role that scientists at TRIUMF are playing in the quiet revolutionization of the production of Technitium99m, a much-needed radioactive isotope used in several imaging and diagnosis procedures. If successfully implemented, many hospitals and clinics would no longer be reliant on large-scale nuclear reactors as a source of the crucial and limited isotope, allowing for an assured consistency of healthcare across Canada and the world.

Gradually building upon its capabilities, both in a technological and human sense, constant additions have been

made to the facility, including the ISAC rare-isotope research suite, and NMR scanners, the UltraCold Neutrino research suite, beamlines and proton/neutron irradiation facilities. Leveraging these capabilities, the institute has set records for isotope production and creation besides enabling pioneering work which won awards such as the Nobel Prize, the NSERC Brockhouse Canada Prize and the Herzberg Medal.

The institute continues to look forward, and according to Dilling, could “grow perhaps to double our size … and have huge intellectual value propositions and potential.”

Asked what he considers some of the challenges that TRIUMF faces and will come to face going forward, Dilling responded, “One of the big challenges is always funding. And because we’re federally funded, our funding is directly coupled to the understanding and perception and value proposition of the federal government.”

With this in mind, TRIUMF’s research priorities have evolved over the years to meet current needs.

TRIUMF continues to move towards improving its facility and capabilities with a cyclotron refurbishment and work on a specialized actinide beam line and electron linear accelerator being slated for the coming years.

“I think what brings me here every day, what motivates me every day and why I’ve stayed here over the years is the unique spirit, we have a tribe,” said Dilling. “So you have the university spirit that is present everywhere — trying, driven by curiosity and excellence, this freedom to think, the freedom to try cool things — but an infrastructure that is federally funded and more of a national lab.” U

YIYANG WANG

Did you know that seagulls have elbows? Have you ever wondered if drones should have elbows?

Researchers at UBC have recently provided answers to both of these questions. You might have heard of the Altshuler Lab at UBC and its work with hummingbirds and locomotion.

Their newest study looks at gulls and aerodynamics, a combination that suggests flexibility is the future of wing design.

Christina Harvey, one of the study authors who just completed a master’s degree in zoology at UBC, started by working with gull wing cadavers and looking at the possible range of motion that the wings are capable of. “Ildiko Szabo at the Beaty Biodiversity Museum taught me how to taxidermy bird wings, which isn’t a skill I ever thought I would learn,” said Harvey, who specializes in aerospace engineering.

The researchers then tested the wing cadavers in a wind tunnel to observe how they reacted to different wind speeds.

They also travelled around the coast of the Pacific Northwest, taking photos of gulls in different weather conditions to find out what the gulls were actually doing in flight.

The observational study found that gulls flex or “morph” the elbow angles in their wings when wind speeds and gusts increase.

Harvey explained this effect as a trade-off between stability and control.

“In calm conditions, gulls spread their wings to maintain static stability. In a windier environment, the gull needs more active control over their flight path and flex their elbow angles.

We found that morphing the wing by flexing the elbow resulted in reduced static stability.”

Researchers think that this finding can be used to improve the design of unmanned aerial vehicles, more commonly known as drones.

The next step for Harvey is to use comparative analyses of different bird species to identify the most beneficial aspect of wing morphing for drones.

When asked if she would like to work with gulls again, Harvey admitted, “The gull is largely considered to be an annoying bird, especially because they are relatively talented at stealing food. However, I am interested in understanding these common and successful birds because perhaps they are the ones that can offer us robust ways to improve aircraft maneuverability.” U

Flying high: Rylan Toth makes unusual NHL call-up thanks to emergency backup rule

Salomon Micko Benrimoh Staff Writer

Thunderbirds goalie Rylan Toth spends his Saturday nights a bit differently than most varsity athletes. The second-year Thunderbird, who hails from Saskatchewan, spends every few weekends at Rogers Arena — not just to watch a Canucks game, but to be there for emergency backup duty.

It’s a job shared between UBC’s goaltending roster.

“We bring our gear, we get free tickets to the game and you can just watch it and bring a friend — and if something happens to one of the goalies, you get a text and you go down and get dressed,” Toth said.

This is the second season that the NHL has made it mandatory for the home team to have an in-house emergency backup goalie who can be available to either team should one of their goalies get injured mid-game. It’s also the second year that the Canucks and UBC have had their agreement in place.

The rule made headlines in March 2018 when Scott Foster, a 36-year-old accountant, suited up and played the final 13 minutes for the Chicago Blackhawks in their game against the Winnipeg Jets after both Blackhawk goalies were injured.

December 15, 2018, was the 15th game that Toth went to as the emergency backup.

“I think it was on a Saturday and I had a final on Tuesday, so at the time I was just looking forward to a nice break from studying and it kinda ended up being a crazy night.”

Instead of a break that evening, Toth got the text. The Philadelphia Flyers goaltending staff asked him to come downstairs to the dressing room and get his gear on. Flyers starting goalie Anthony Stolarz was forced to exit the game with an injury, putting their backup Alex Lyon in net and Toth on the bench.

In doing so, Toth became the second UBC goalie in three years to suit up for an NHL game.

Former Thunderbirds goaltender Matt Hewitt suited up as backup for the Canucks in a game against the St. Louis Blues back in October 2016.

Just as he had done for Hewitt, UBC head coach Sven Butenschon sent some words of encouragement to Toth as he waited in the dressing room.

“He sent me a text during and just said, ‘If you go in, just have fun ’cause you don’t really get a chance like that very often.’ So yeah, it was cool,” Toth explained.

Toth didn’t get the call onto the ice that night. He stayed in the dressing room, ready. Waiting.

Once the game was done, Toth received some personalized memorabilia from the Flyers as thanks for stepping up.

“They gave me a stick and once I got back from Christmas break, there was a jersey in my stall. So they had actually made up a jersey and it had my name on it,” Toth said.

A month later, Toth is back to his normal routine. School, varsity and the emergency backup rotation. He isn’t letting himself get too starstruck over his NHL experience and is focussing on helping the Thunderbirds reach the playoffs.

“I think at this point I’m playing hockey because I love it and I really enjoy it. I like the competitive atmosphere as well …

You definitely dream of playing in the NHL from pretty much when you start playing hockey and I was five when I started playing,” he said.

For Toth, it may not have been the NHL debut he imagined, but it was one for the memory books nonetheless.

“I don’t think that’s the way you picture it happening but, I mean, it was a cool experience.” u

Rylan Toth is UBC’s starting goalie this season.

What to expect from the Winter Classic this year

FILE ELLA CHAN

Brendan Smith Staff Writer

This year’s Winter Classic promises to be a hot contest between two familiar foes: there will be no love lost when the UBC Thunderbirds take on the Calgary Dinos this Friday.

Although the teams have already faced each other this year, this will be the first time the Dinos return to the Point Grey peninsula since last year’s playoff quarterfinal matchup, which Calgary won 2-1.

If the stakes were not high

enough already, the Winter Classic atmosphere pushes the anticipation over the edge.

“It’s very different,” said UBC head coach Sven Butcheson about the event, adding that it reminds him of the atmosphere that he experienced while playing in the NHL. “It’s loud, it’s electric. It’s such a fun night and the guys love playing [in] that one.”

UBC captain Jerret Smith agrees.

“It’s just exciting because everyone is coming out to the game and everybody is cheering,” he

said. “It’s a fun game to play in and there’s so much adrenaline going through your body.”

Execution could be the deciding factor for the Thunderbirds as they face an Alberta side that was recently ranked ninth nationally. The Dinos also completed a sweep of the Lethbridge Pronghorns this past weekend. The ’Birds will need to tighten up on all fronts if they hope to take down the Canada West giants.

When asked about the Dinos,

Butchenson compared them to their provincial rivals in terms of style of play.

“They’re a similar team to [the Alberta Golden Bears]. They can skate, they’re quick [and] they play a good team,” he explained.

While the Dinos enter the game on a three-game winning streak, UBC enters having lost four straight and are still looking for their first win in 2019.

“We just really gotta start clicking,” Smith said. “Just get everything in order and start playing the right way and be hot heading into playoffs.”

For Smith, having a healthy roster this time around is an added bonus.

“Everybody’s back now so it’s kinda exciting. The last couple years, it just seems like everybody is always injured at some time, so it’s kinda nice having our full lineup back.”

One match-up that could determine who wins this game will be the battle between the posts.

UBC’s Rylan Toth has been the starter in 13 of the 20 games this

season for Thunderbirds and is likely to get the nod on Friday. He has been solid through most of the year and will be required to be so again against the Dinos.

For Calgary, it will be either Matt Greenfield or Jordan Papirny in net.

Together, they have a combined five shutouts this season.

The big question for UBC will be whether they are able to generate more offensive production against either goalie, as they have only scored five goals in their previous four games.

“It’s frustrating mentally when you don’t get on the scoresheet and you don’t see the shot clock on the scoreboard go up, and you let the goalie get a shutout,” said Butchenson after his team was shutout 6-0 against the Alberta Golden Bears this past weekend.

“That stuff is hard so we got to find a way to generate more scoring chances and finish.”

What better way to end a slump than playing a rival in front of a home crowd? U

Get ready for another battle this weekend at the Classic.

Weekend rundown: Men’s rugby claims another title with Wightman Boot brilliance Lucy Fox Sports Editor

It was a weekend of major milestones and more hardware for some UBC teams, while others continue to struggle through the first few weeks of the winter term both at home and away.

We’ve got our eyes on the rugby team and our two basketball teams currently, who are on hot streaks coming into the final weeks of the regular season, but other varsity rosters are starting to steal some spotlight too.

Huband hits 500th win The basketball teams were on form again this weekend as both snagged two more wins against the Trinity Western Spartans.

They’re definitely two teams to watch out for right now as we come into the final weeks of regular season.

That said, the big news out of the basketball camp this weekend was the major milestone hit by long-time — 24 years, in fact — women’s head coach Deb Huband: she hit 500 career wins at the Thunderbirds helm with their 70-48 win on Saturday night. They also won 76-64 on Friday.

Besides being the longestserving and most successful women’s basketball coach the school has ever had, Huband has also won the most U Sports national championships with three overall.

The team now sits on a 10-4 record in Canada West, good enough for fifth in the conference.

triple digits On the men’s side, the Thunderbirds basketball team continued their triple-digit days with 112-65 and 100-80 wins over the weekend. Though the points were spread across much of the UBC roster, highlights included a 22-point Friday for Jadon Cohee and a 30-point Saturday for Manroop Clair — a solid weekend for two of UBC’s newest recruits this season.

The team is second in Canada West now with a 13-1 record. The only team ahead of them? The ever-challenging Calgary Dinos who are 16-0.

First sweep of season Finally, some good news for the men’s volleyball team. After struggling throguh the first term, the Thunderbirds put up 3-2 and 3-1 wins over the weekend to put them up to a 4-10 regular season record.

First-years Matt Neaves and Michael Dowhaniuk led the T-Birds throughout the two games, showing the potential the team has for future seasons.

Neaves put up 24.5 points on Friday night, while Dowhaniuk led the team with 31.5 on Saturday.

Disappointment at Doug Though the women’s hockey team continued to plow on through their season with a split weekend in Edmonton against the Alberta Pandas (a 2-0 win on Friday and a 1-2 loss on Saturday), the men’s

team had a tougher go of it at home at Doug Mitchell against the Golden Bears. UBC struggled particularly with Alberta forward Luke Philp. Of the nine goals scored over the weekend, Philp scored four.

That said, perhaps the biggest issue in terms of the Thunderbirds themselves is — and has been for a few games now — their lack of goal-scoring. For the first time in a while, though, the goals did come from their forwards in Friday’s 3-2 loss, with a goal from Austin Vetterl and Austin Glover. Their momentum, however, died with the 6-0 onslaught they faced on Saturday.

UBC’s Jacob Ikeda carries the Wightman Boot.

Road to Gold: Another trophy for men’s rugby Going into the final leg of the Wightman Boot, the annual twogame series between UBC and the University of Victoria (UVic), with a 19-point advantage on aggregate, the ’Birds had some fall-back room if they wanted to defend their 2017 Boot title. On Saturday, impressive kicking from stand-off Adam McQueen helped push the ’Birds to a narrow 28-23 lead on the day, but a 73-49 win on aggregate. UBC’s Michael Smith also converted two tries on the day.

The win puts the ’Birds up to a 7-3 record in the Rugby Premier League. It also adds another tally in UBC’s favour in the Legends Cup series (the series announced at the start of the 2018/19 season between several of UBC and UVics varsity teams and also comes with its own trophy). U
