Daily Bulletin, Monday, March 6, 1995 WINTER drags on, and everybody seems to be sick. Maybe instead of National Professional Pet Sitters Week (no, I am not making this up) we should just declare this National Virus Week, all go home and get healthy, and reopen the university after Commonwealth Day? But since spring (and summer) will come eventually, this is the week for undergraduate students to preregister for courses. Preregistration is also running this week (March 6-10) for fall courses, and even -- boo! -- for next winter term. Where? With the advisor in your faculty or department. Says the registrar's office: Information regarding advisors, times and places is listed in the Course Offerings List. Separate lists have been prepared for Fall and Spring/Summer. They can be obtained during the pre-registration period from the department/faculty offices. Pre-registration allows you to select in March, the courses you wish to take in the May, July, September 1995, and January 1996 sessions. If you are thinking of changing faculties next term, you should contact the appropriate advisor of the faculty to which you wish to transfer. UWINFO HAS a new feature that will be of interest to people whose hardware or software limits them to using the "gopher" rather than the World Wide Web home page. A new line on the gopher main menu says "UWinfo Webspace through 'lynx' (experimental) ", and what that means is that you can select that line to reach the UWinfo material on the Web. You won't be able to see fancy graphics, of course, but the information is all there. "Lynx" is a fairly simple program in which you mostly use the arrow keys to move between pages of information. INTERNATIONAL Women's Week is under way. Event of interest today: at noontime, Susan Wismer of UW's environment and resource studies department speaks at the Kitchener Public Library, main branch, on "Women and the Social Welfare Reforms". The talk is part of a regular Monday series at KPL presenting faculty from both UW and Wilfrid Laurier University. "EDUCATING for the Ecozoic Era" is the title of a talk tonight, and the subtitle is "The Role of the University in the Great Work". The speaker is Thomas Berry, cultural historian, who's giving the Francois Gerard Inaugural Lecture. It's sponsored by St. Paul's United College, of which Gerard was principal, but is being held in Siegfried Hall of St. Jerome's College, starting at 7:30 p.m. SPORTS RESULTS: The basketball Warriors lost to Guelph in the semifinals of the OUAA tournament on the weekend. Guelph went on to win the Ontario championship. The volleyball Warriors, competing in the CIAU national championships in Sudbury, placed fifth; Manitoba took the national title. No results are on hand from other UW teams, including the swimmers, who were at Universite Laval on the weekend for the national championships.
