Turkey dump survivors since 1918 University to gain from market housing Endowment fund to benefit from developments, but students can't afford to buy
by Sarah Bourdon NEWS EDITOR
A string of new market housing developments at UBC will great ly increase the campus population over the next few years, but there are concerns that students may not benefit from the additions. Market housing is an important source of income for UBC, providing money for the academic operations of the university, said Joe Stott, assistant director of Community and Land Use Planning at UBC. The direct benefit is the revenue that the university has to endow from the sale of the parcel,* said Stott Interest from the university's endowment fund is used for student activities, pro grams and faculties, and is "a benefit for the academic mission of the university,* he added. UBC's new developments are located in several 'neighbour hoods* designated by an Official Community Plan (OCP). The plan allots space for eight neighbourhoods, though only five are currently 'active.* The neighbourhoods being developed include Hawthorn Place in mid-campus, the area around the Vancouver School of Theology, University Boulevard, east campus near Fairview resi dence, and north campus near the Museum of Anthropology. The OCP contains a stipulation that 50 per cent of residents in market housing units must have an affiliation with the universi ty, either attending as a student or working on campus. Having this provision will promote diversity of the on-campus mmrrwnitv by steering away from the "one-dimensional com- Is that reaNy what ! think it is?!? munity* that might result if only people connected to UBC lived Shrum Bowl XXVII lived up to the hype on Friday night as theTBirds defeated the SFU Clan by a decisive on campus, said Stott. 42-24 score.This marks the first time in three years that UBC has beat their cross-town rivals.The offensive "What we're trying to do is generate neighbourhoods that are game was on display as theTBirds out ran and out threw their opponents, NIC FENSOM PHOTO more diverse than just that sort of company town that would result if we had all the housing aimed at people who study or work,* said Stott. While having a quota for the number of UBC-affiliated campus residents is useful, few students will find the market housing units affordable, said Darren Peets, a graduate student in physics Who's afraid of Mount St Helens? and a member of the South Campus Working Group. 'Students maybe able to afford to rent some of the secondary suites but I would expect that many of the units would be out of our price range except for a very, very small percentage of the Eruption shouldn't excite Canadians, says expert student body/ said Peets.
