Daily Bulletin, Wednesday, November 2, 1994

POLICE BULLETIN:  UW police issued a notice yesterday with word of an
assault near East Campus Hall (on Phillip Street) early Monday morning.
The incident happened somewhere between 5:45 and 6:40 a.m.  Neil
Hudson, a Beaver Foods staff member on his way to work at St. Jerome's
College, was found lying unconscious on a footpath near ECH.  (He
was released from hospital yesterday.)

Police are asking for any information that might help, since the time of 
the assault makes it difficult to obtain eyewitnesses.  Hudson was
wearing a white coat and green jeans on Monday morning.

Marshall Gavin of the police says that Hudson was wearing a walkman when 
he was assaulted.  "Those things are just a nightmare. Depending on the
volume he had it on, he might not have heard someone coming up behind him. 
Walkmen are a concern at any time of the day.  I believe that they should 
not be worn when people are out walking about."

TODAY'S GAZETTE contains a letter (page 2) from the ad hoc committee 
that's studying harassment and discrimination procedures at UW.  The letter
outlines the issues the committee has heard so far, after some eight
public meetings and a number of private ones.  It's looking for comments
both on those points and on other things that may have been missed so far.

ALSO in today's Gazette is the news that Roger Downer, vice-president
(university relations), will serve in that post for another three years.  He
was originally appointed for five years, starting in the fall of 1989.  The
reappointment takes him to June 30, 1997, by which time Campaign Waterloo
should be finished.  Downer's reappointment was announced in a memo to
department heads a few days ago.

MACLEAN'S VISIT:  Reporters from Maclean's magazine are expected at UW
today to do some last-minute interviewing, as the magazine's annual
"universities" issue is due on the newsstands next week.

THE FEDERATION of Students holds its annual general meeting tonight at
7 p.m. in the great hall of the Campus Centre.  All undergraduate students,
except those few who have opted out, are Federation members and are
entitled to attend and vote.

NOTE TO EGGHEADS:  The "egg" sculpture outside the Math and Computer 
building -- more formally called "Break" -- will be disappearing shortly.
It's being taken in for repairs to the plumbing, says Rick Zalagenas of
UW's central plant, who points out that the sculpture has been out of
commission, and boarded up, for a long time now.  It'll be fixed and
back in place by the time the fountain can be turned on next spring.
"Break", by Bruce Watson, was installed in 1971, and is one of some 21
sculptures around campus listed in a brochure that was prepared by the
UW art gallery earlier this year.
