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).
