The MFP has been informed that layouts from Martingrove's
2002 "Ursus" yearbook widely considered to be
the one of the best yearbooks in recent years were extensively
adapted from the University of Toronto School's (UTS) 2001
yearbook, "Twig". Upon simultaneous examination
of the two publications, one will find striking resemblances
in the layouts of their respective editors' messages, teachers'
pages and section introductions.
The 2003 Ursus organization has also been beset with financial
troubles as a result of fiscal mismanagement during the
2001-2002 year. At the beginning of this year, Friesens,
the publisher of Ursus, submitted an invoice to the club
requesting the immediate payment of an outstanding $20,000
bill for printing last year's yearbooks. A $400 interest
fee was also imposed because of the late payment.
When asked for comment about how the organization intends
to increase responsibility this year, Andrew Wong, the current
Ursus co-editor, stated: "We are currently working
hard to achieve an original and appealing yearbook which
could be considered the best 'unique' yearbook in years."
