Monday, January 17, 1994 SMOKING PROJECTS: Officials of the Ontario health ministry are coming to campus this afternoon to announce what's described as a "major" grant for two anti-smoking projects. This is National Non-Smoking Week, which makes it a good time to launch more programs aimed at high school students and "community intervention awareness". The programs are based in the Waterloo Smoking Projects, a unit of the faculty of applied health sciences. The government announcement is to be made at a 5:30 reception in the University Club. CO-OP STUDENTS are on full alert mode this morning. The first set of postings, listing jobs that are offered for the spring work term, will go up at 10:00 in Needles Hall, Engineering Lecture, and Math and Computer. Students have until tomorrow evening to choose the jobs they might like, and drop off copies of their resumes in the co-op department's numbered bins. (The bins have just been moved out of the co-op employer lounge and installed in the main hallway on the first floor of Needles Hall.) Job interviews start January 31, after five rounds of postings and resume submissions. CHINESE NEW YEAR: The Gazette is hoping to publish a major article about next month's celebration of the Chinese New Year. Anyone who is organizing an event to inaugurate the Year of the Dog, or who would be interested in talking about family traditions and the importance of the new year, is invited to call Patty Mah at ext. 2006 as soon as possible. SPORTS COMPLEX: The official opening of the new north campus athletics complex has been set for January 27 (that's Thursday of next week) at 12 noon. The complex is in partial use now, but won't be open for recreational use on its regular schedule (11:30 a.m. to midnight most days) for a little while yet. Sally Kemp of the athletics department says one delay has been installation of the divider that can turn one big gym into two small ones, along with other finishing work. The complex is still lacking a name -- this Friday is the deadline for submissions in the name contest. UW'S SENATE meets tonight (Needles Hall 3001, 7:30 p.m.). On the agenda for the meeting is first reading of Policy 46, the revised policy on promotion of faculty members. Also coming up: another attempt to settle the English language requirements for foreign applicants whose first language is not English. SPEAKING TODAY: Nancy Theberge of UW's kinesiology department will speak at the Grad House at 5 p.m. today, sponsored by the women's issues committee of the Graduate Student Association. Her topic: "Women in Sport -- Contemporary Issues". Chris Redmond Information and Public Affairs credmond@watserv1 ext. 3004
