Only last wekend UBC celebrated excellence in research as an integral part of "what makes a great university great". But for those graduate students committed to research as a full-time endeavour the university's summer housing policy shows an institution working at cross-purposes. Since last December a small group of graduate students living in the Gage apartments have been trying to convince UBC's director of student housing and conferences Mary Flores that their commitment to research should not be inconveniently interrupted by what amounts to a forced evic­ tion at the end of May. These students point out that they represent occupancy in about 15 per cent of the units in the Gage apartments and hotel. Further, they note that their willing and continuous presence in these dwellings over the entire duration of the summer represents a guaranteed minimum occupancy which might mean more revenue for the university. But ultimately the revenue argument cannot be the criteria for a more flexible housing policy. If the university finds that renting residences for conferences during the winter term is more profitable, will they then decide that undergrads should vacate during, say, December, because it is a good month for bringing in visitors for symposiums? Probably not. It seems that the current administration is willing to operate with two policies, one for the winter term and the other for the four month duration in between. In view of the fact that graduate students register and pay fees for twelve month durations, it seems highly unreasonable and cavalier to sug­ gest, as Ms Flores has done, that the Gage students should consider mov­ ing off campus for the summer. To the question "what makes a great university great?" we might well Having no genitalia, the stick people supported the respond it has something to do with a year round commitment to students and research first, and not for just two-thirds of the year. premier's sex education policies.
