''The Ubyssey'' is the University of British Columbia's official, independent student-run paper and is published every Monday and Thursday. Founded in 1918, ''The Ubyssey'' is the largest student-run paper in Western Canada, and the second largest in Canada. Notable writers throughout its history include Pierre Berton, John Turner, Allan Fotheringham, Michael Valpy, Joe Schlesinger, Danny Stoffman, Stephen Scobie, Vaughn Palmer, Bruce Arthur, and Earle Birney. Other notable alumni include cartoonist Arn Saba, journalist and author Katherine Monk, and photographers Jeff Wall and Richard Lam. ''The Ubyssey'' is an independent publication funded by a $6 annual fee which students can opt out from. The staff functions as a collective; current UBC students who have contributed to the paper and attend staff meetings are eligible to become staff members. The staff elects the full-time editors on an annual basis. The Ubyssey Publications Society board and president, who deal chiefly with financial matters and do not play any editorial role, are elected by the general student body annually. ==Publication== Regular issues of the print edition appear twice a week from September to April (except during exams or the Christmas break). In 2009 they moved to a Monday/Thursday publishing schedule, from the original Tuesday/Friday. Publishing during the summer term varies, in 2012 one print issue will be produced every two weeks but summer editions were not published in some years. ''The Ubyssey'' also maintains a strong online presence with web-only news and video content published through its website. There are several recurring special issues. The first issue of the fall term in September generally seeks to introduce incoming students to on-campus life and culture. For the last issue of fall term, ''The Ubyssey'' produces a satire issue with stories satirizing campus issues and news stories, while the spoof issue is published closest to April 1, when ''The Ubyssey'' parodies another newspaper or magazine. The frequency of publication has varied historically. The paper was published four times a week in 1947 but this only lasted one year.〔 Until the 1980s, there were three issues per week with Monday and Thursday issues being a standard, university news-oriented edition while The Ubyssey Magazine or "Page Friday" was published on Fridays. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Ubyssey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
