Daily Bulletin, Friday, September 9, 1994

ORIENTATION brings chiefly social events today and over the weekend.  Among
the highlights:

     Frosh Olympics from 1 to 3 today at the Village Green and Columbia
     Field, followed by the Campus-Wide Chariot Race from 3 to 4 in
     the arts quadrangle area.

     Green Spirit and Shinerama tomorrow from 9 to 1.  Shinerama is a
     longstanding Canada-wide program that raises money for cystic 
     fibrosis research; students shine shoes, car windows and anything
     else that will hold still, and invite cash donations.  Green Spirit
     is a newer project that's grown in scope and enthusiasm over the
     past couple of years.  It sends students out to plant trees, clean
     up trash and do other environmentally friendly things around
     Kitchener-Waterloo.  I haven't been provided with any details on
     the 1994 projects yet.

     Toga at the Yoga on Saturday night, and Village Night at Federation
     Hall.

Today's the last day for registration at the Physical Activities Complex.
Starting Monday -- classes start Monday! -- anybody who hasn't registered
yet will have to do so in Needles Hall, and will start paying late fees.

IT LOOKS LIKE a bodacious weekend for outdoor activities, such as the
Math Faculty Computing Facility staff picnic tomorrow afternoon.  

Then on Sunday comes the Corporate Challenge, one of the most cheerful
and silly events of the year, which invites teams from major employers in
Kitchener-Waterloo to compete in so-called sports and games.  UW's team
is captained by Keith McGowan of the arts computing office, who'll be
hoping for a more distinguished finish than the 1993 team achieved (25th
in a field of 58 teams).  The Challenge starts at 9 a.m. and runs for most
of the day in Waterloo Park.  Spectators and cheering sections are welcome.

OTHER NOTES:  Saturday is Goods Exchange Day in Kitchener-Waterloo, when
householders are invited to put unwanted household items out by the 
sidewalk, and passers-by can help themselves.

Electrical power, heating, cooling and ventilation will be turned off at
the Columbia Icefield on Monday from 8 to 11 a.m., so that plant operations
can do preventive maintenance on electrical equipment.  The shutdown will
also affect the gate for parking lot W.

Birthday greetings to Mary Thompson of the department of statistics and
actuarial science.
