Thursday, May 13, 1993 NOT ON VIDEOTAPE: A number of people have asked whether Jim Downey's lecture on Tuesday is available on tape. I am sorry to say it was neither audio- nor video-taped. The text does exist, however, and will be published in the Gazette next week, after which it will be made available through UWinfo. VICE-PRESIDENTIAL FORUM: The last of the three candidates for vice-president (academic) and provost, Garry Rempel of chemical engineering, met an audience yesterday afternoon and answered questions similar to those faced earlier by Jim Kalbfleisch and Phyllis Forsyth. In his talk before the questions, he emphasized his commitment to teaching and research, his experience in research administration and the politics of research financing, and his knowledge of the business world and university-industry links. The nominating committee for VP (academic) and provost has invited comments on the candidates; comments should be sent to Lois Claxton in the university secretariat, Needles Hall, with a deadline of 4 p.m. Friday (tomorrow). ANNUAL RETREAT: If you can't find the dean today it's because he or she is attending the university's annual "executive retreat" off campus. The event is an opportunity for brainstorming and long-range planning by members of executive council.
