a7 Vancouver [CUP] - New stu- dent housing units at the University of British Columbia are ready for occupancy but EXPO ‘86 will stop most students from moving in for another year. Instead, the townhouses will be the home away from home for employees of the world trade fair international pavillions. UBC signed away the rights to the townhouses in ex- change for a financial contri- bution from EXPO ‘86 that allowed UBC to proceed with construction earlier than plan- ned. “‘We wouldn’t have the residences if it weren’t for EXPO,’’ said Mary Flores, director of student housing. Flores said architectural plans had been sitting on the shelf for several years because it was too costly to begin build- ing. Housing has always been tight at UBC, because there are very few houses near the campus. Currently there is an 800-person waiting list for single-person residences on- campus. Duncan Stewart, UBC stu- dent council rep said he All returning students for the Spring 86 carenter SS a Get your validation during registration. PLEASE Bring your photo I.D.s Doy, Colt Glas thought the deal with EXPO ‘86 ‘‘is pretty damn excel- lent.” Jim Banham said EXPO -’86 contributed the $1 million downpayment on financing to the project, which cost over $10 million to complete. The: complex contains 187 units tor 780 students. ‘| imagine EXPO is hoping to recoup costs by telling the countries this space is avail- able at this price,’ said Banham. But according to Flores EXPO will make some space available to students if there is any left over. “EXPO officials have agreed to let UBC rent excess space to senior students for the winter session only,’’ said Flores. Students will have to move out for the summer months but will be able to move in again in September rather than November when the EXPO lease expires the townhouses become truly student residences. At Simon Fraser, officials are also considering Expo as a potential source of casual ten- ants...but they say student and university needs will be met first. The Other Press At Simon Fraser, officials are also considering Expo as a potential source of casual ten- ants...but they say student and university needs will be met first. “If space is still available after students and depart- ments have booked, we would make it available to Expo visitors,’’ said Geoff Ward, housing manager at SFU.

Wargame hits Brandon Brandon [CUP] - Brandon University students will have an opportunity to vent their frustrations and win cash prizes - by pretending to assassinate their fellow stu- dents. But many students are out- raged that the game, Killing As An_ Organized Sport (which is popular at many American universities), will be played at Brandon. “This is a stupid man’s game. It just proves men’s aggressive behaviour,’’ said Brandon student Sharron Powers, a member of the Manitoba Action Committee on the Status of Women. Brandon Students’ Union vice president external Clark Marcino said some _ posters advertising the game are quite offensive. “Il spotted one sign in Darrach Hall (the Brandon’s men’s residence) that said, ‘Does the thought of assault- ing women turn you on@’,’’ Marcino said. ‘‘It was gone within the hour. | was glad someone had the initiative to take it down.’ Another poster said, ‘‘Girls turn the tables, give it to the guys for once.’’ The game’s chief organiser, Brandon student David Miller said the posters were pur- posely designed to be ‘‘pro- vocative.’’ Miller said reaction to the game, in which participants are given a photograph and the phone number of their “target’’ and must ‘‘assas- sinate’’ them in the presence of a witness, has been very good. He said 100 Brandon students have signed up to play, and he has received only Don't Forget!!" No line-ups, no waiting.

Some students are concern- ed that KAOS could be regis- tered as an organized club and receive student council funding. Ruth Pryzner Brandon, stu- aent council president, said this is unlikely. “Even though the game is harmless from a_ physical point of view, the mentality of violence is inherent and not conductive to create, nonvio- lent intellectual growth and resolution of — conflicts,’’ Pryzner said. ‘‘To get student funding ‘it has to be in line with the Brandon constitut- ion, and it isn’t.”’ SSSssss SSSssssssssss SSS Sa
