Daily Bulletin, Wednesday, October 12, 1994 PREMIER'S COMING: Ontario premier Bob Rae will visit campus tomorrow afternoon, with a public appearance scheduled for 2:30 p.m. in the Davis Centre great hall. Everyone is welcome. Rae will be making "a major announcement", says Martin van Nierop, UW's director of information and public affairs. Earlier in the day, UW officials will have had their hearing from the Ontario Council on University Affairs, which is visiting Waterloo for discussions of university financing in the province. The UW hearing -- at which administrators and staff, student and faculty leaders will present their lukewarm response to the OCUA's August "discussion paper" -- is to be held at Ruby's in the Waterloo Inn, starting at 9 a.m. And even earlier tomorrow comes another special event: an Oktoberfest breakfast hosted by UW, Wilfrid Laurier University and Conestoga College to help boost economic development in Waterloo Region. The chief guests are some 50 out-of-town business people who have been invited to consider Kitchener-Waterloo as a place to do business. Roger Downer, Waterloo's vice-president (university relations), will lead the UW delegation and be among the breakfast speakers, talking about this institution and the way it makes K-W a better place to live and do business. So tomorrow's going to be a busy day. Meanwhile . . . OPENING TONIGHT is "Tough!" by George R. Walker, the year's first production from the UW drama department. Described as "a Canadian play about the dilemmas of teenage life", it's presented in the recently refurbished Studio 180 in the Humanities building. Showtime is 8 p.m.; tickets are $7 (students $5) from the Humanities box office. Also tonight: the second in this year's Pascal Lectures by geneticist R. J. Berry. He'll speak (8 p.m. in the Theatre of the Arts) on "God, Greens and Gaia: The Ethics of Environmental Action". (Berry is also offering two seminars during his visit to Waterloo. Today at 3 p.m. he's in Biology 1 room 271, with the topic "Am I My Environment's Keeper?" Tomorrow at 12:30 he's in Biology 1 room 370, with the topic "Mice All Over".) Information about the Pascal Lectures: ext. 3433. CLOSED AT NOON: The copy centres in the Dana Porter Library, Humanities building, and Math and Computer building will be closed during the noon hour today. "Staff will be attending a United Way presentation," explains the director of graphic services, Linda Norton. DID YOU SEE the demolition job CTV's current affairs show "W5" did on the University of Western Ontario last night? It was both a report on two high-profile discrimination cases there recently, and a dissection of the bureaucracy Western now has in place for handling charges of unethical behaviour of various kinds. After that kind of journalism, it'll be a relief to turn the TV dial tonight to the third installment of "Porterhouse Blue", a comedy (airing on TVOntario) about a politically incorrect Cambridge college full of old gourmands. FINALLY, birthday greetings to George Dixon of the biology department. Chris Redmond Information and Public Affairs, University of Waterloo 888-4567 ext. 3004 credmond@watserv1.uwaterloo.ca
