Daily Bulletin, Thursday, September 15, 1994

PROVINCIAL ISSUES:  The controversial "discussion paper" from the Ontario
Council on University Affairs is now available on UWinfo, and UW's provost
is asking for comments on it, with a September 26 deadline.

The discussion paper, titled Sustaining Quality in Changing Times, deals
with the distribution of money to Ontario universities, and hints strongly
that the government will be taking a much more interventionist approach in
future.  "The outcome of the funding review is of critical importance to
UW," says Waterloo's provost, Jim Kalbfleisch, in a draft of a memo that
he's planning to send across campus later today.  It urges "all members of
the university community" to read the discussion paper and make comments.

You can find the discussion paper on UWinfo under the Daily Bulletin heading
and the subheading "Documents of Current Interest".  Paper copies of it are
available from the operations analysis office in Needles Hall.

COPYRIGHT MEETING:  Yesterday's Gazette had a full page of information
about the agreement that UW recently signed with CanCopy, providing a
licence for many kinds of copying and taking away the threat of lawsuits
for copyright infringement.  The CanCopy agreement has some effect on how
copying will be done by UW's graphic services, the Federation of Students
Graphix Factory, the correspondence office, the library, and other agencies
on campus.  Anyone who has unanswered questions or is curious about the
subject is invited to a general meeting tomorrow, Friday, at 10 a.m. in
Needles Hall room 3001.

TODAY, BRIEFLY:  The athletics department holds its open house and 
registration for campus recreation programs from 4 to 8 p.m. today in 
the main gym of the Physical Activities Complex.

Astronomy graduate students from the physics department will talk about 
their observations of Jupiter and Comet Shoemaker-Levy at 3:30 in
Physics room 145.

The Grad House continues its noon-hour barbecues, with free burgers for
mathematics graduate students today and science and psychology grads
tomorrow.  (And tomorrow, the Women's Issues Committee has an outdoor
music festival, from 2 p.m. into late evening.)

The local branch of the Canadian Aeronautics and Space Institute has a
career fair running today, from 10:30 to 4:30 in Davis Centre room 1301.
It'll be of special interest to those who, wishing to boldly go where
Roberta Bondar has gone before, are looking to careers in the aerospace
industry.

The architecture school presents its first Arriscraft Lecture of the year
tonight, given by Douglas Cardinal, architect of the Canadian Museum of
Civilization, not to mention St. Albert Place in Edmonton.  He'll speak at
8 p.m. in the "green room" of Environmental Studies 2.
