Just some information on the messages about the rose garden situation:
1. No, it is not the annual Ubyssey April Fool's Gag. Yes, the rose
garden will have a parkade put on top of it. Or rather,
underneath it. I checked the latest (December 1991) edition of
the campus plan circulated to the Board of Governors, and the
plans are for a parkade underneath the "North Lawn". What that
North Lawn is going to be, who knows? Unfortunately, it looks
like they will have to dig up the Rose Garden to put the parkade
in first.
2. The Housing being built on top of B-lot is the Thunderbird Student
Housing Project. There are other buildings too being built, such
as the new CICSR (Centre for Integrated Computer Systems Research)
where the Departments of Computer Science and Electrical
Engineering are moving to.
3. If you want to complain, you can write to:
UBC Board of Governors
c/o Nina Robinson, Secretary to the Board
Old Administration Bldg., 6328 Memorial Road
Vancouver, B.C.
V6T 1Z2
4. That's all I know so far, as I just got onto the Board of
Governors in February. If you want to know more, you'll have to
ask my predecessor, Derek Miller (who does read this newsgroup
daily).
