Daily Bulletin, Monday, May 16, 1994 CO-OP STUDENTS have a big day: the first posting of available jobs for the fall term will go up in Needles Hall, Engineering Lecture, and Math and Computer at 10 this morning. The second posting comes on Wednesday and the third on Friday. And at 4:30 tonight there's an organizational meeting of Students Advising Co-op, the advisory council "through which co-op students may liaise with co-op administrators" and that seeks "to ensure students' views are represented and that students partake in the decision making process regarding cooperative education". SAC is reorganizing itself under the auspices of the Federation of Students board of academic affairs, and can be reached at sac@undergrad.math or sac@108.watstar, or through its mailbox in the Federation office in the Campus Centre. Today's meeting is in Needles Hall room 1030. GEOLOGISTS HERE: The joint annual meeting of the Geological Association of Canada and the Mineralogical Association of Canada is under way, with some 1,000 earth scientists being housed at the Village 2 conference centre today through Wednesday. Among major events at the conference is a lecture tonight (7:15) in the Theatre of the Arts by William Fyfe, president of the International Union of Geological Sciences. He'll talk about human demands on air, water and soils. Everyone is welcome. MEETING TODAY: The university senate meets this evening in Needles Hall room 3001 -- there's a reception at 7 p.m., since it's the first meeting for many newly-elected senate members, and the meeting begins at 8. On the agenda is the creation of an "ad hoc committee on graduate student supervision", to look at issues around the quality of graduate teaching. The budget will be discussed, on its way to the June meeting of the board of governors. And there's a confidential session that will hear reports from three nominating committees -- those that have been looking at the appointment of deans in engineering, science, and mathematics. All three incumbents are eligible to be reappointed. The engineering faculty council meets at 3:30 today (Carl Pollock Hall room 3385) with a cheerful item on the agenda: "Implementation Schedule for the Environmental Studies Program (this has now been approved by the Province)." UW was already committed to offering the environmental engineering program, but government approval means it can be included in the calculation of provincial grants -- not that there will be any new money, as Waterloo is already beyond its enrolment limit under the current formula. A Pakistani Student Association holds an organizational meeting at 6 p.m. in Modern Languages room 119. UTILITY NOTES: Two minor shutdowns are scheduled for Biology 1. Today from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., chilled water (cooling) will be turned off in rooms 177, 371 and 376. Tomorrow from 8 to 11 a.m., deionized water will be turned off in rooms 290 and 291.
