Daily Bulletin, Friday, March 10, 1995

WINTERFEST happens this weekend, with events including a ball-hockey 
tournament in parking lot M, flag football on the Village Green, and "the 
dreaded Bobsled Obstacle Course" on the Matthews Hall green.  Whether the 
green will be green or white, I wouldn't want to predict.  Look for a lively
weekend also in Federation Hall, including the "annual Larry Pub, featuring
the ultimate in alternative music", tonight.

And word is that a proposal to ban smoking in Fed Hall and the Bombshelter
pub will be on the agenda for a students' council meeting that's set for
noon Sunday in Needles Hall 3004.

JUGGLERS converge on campus tomorrow for the third annual UW Juggling
Festival.  Things start in the Campus Centre at 10 a.m., and the PAC
main gym becomes part of the action as of 1 p.m.  The schedule mentions
such mysterious activities as "3 ball blind" and "3 ball combat" juggling,
as well as unicycles, balloon animals, "devil stick" and rope work.
Practice work winds up at 6:00, and then from 7:30 to 10 there's a
public show in the Village 1 red dining room.

JUST A FEW of the other social and recreational things happening:

     The Vietnamese Student Association holds a seminar on job
     interview techniques, with five prominent people from the Ontario
     Vietnamese Professional Society, Saturday afternoon.

     Shads (veterans of the Shad Valley student program) are getting
     together tonight at Fed Hall for ShadFest II.  Hmm, doesn't that
     put them in the middle of the "alternative" music?
     
     "Lester and the B Flats" play at the Graduate House tonight.

     The Graduate Student Association holds a volleyball tournament in
     the PAC from 2:30 to 5:30 on Saturday.

     "Les Belles Soeurs" continues in the drama department, tonight and
     tomorrow at 8:00.  Unofficial word from the Gazette reviewer (whose
     text is expected any minute now) is that it's a great show.

MORE SERIOUSLY:  International Women's Week continues.  The major event
today is a lecture by author Sandra Butler at 7:30 in Siegfried Hall of
St. Jerome's College.  Her topic: "Feminism and the Politics of Hope".
Tickets are priced on a "sliding scale"; the sponsor is the K-W Sexual
Assault Support Centre.

During the day, the Federation of Students women's centre continues to
sponsor a T-shirt display in the Campus Centre, and there's a women-only
meeting of the Womyn's Circle at noon.

THE ENGINEERING faculty holds Explorations '95 tomorrow afternoon -- a series
of tours for kids in grades 5 through 8.  The sign-up sheets were full long
ago, and no wonder, with promised attractions including model buildings that
sink in quicksand, the solar-powered car and concrete toboggan, and robots
at work.

BUSINESS EXAM:  The registrar's office is desperately spreading the word
of an error in the printed final exam schedule.  The exam for Business 111W
is not being held in UW's PAC, as the schedule says.  Rather, it's being
held at Wilfrid Laurier University at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, April 10.

CANADA SCHOLARSHIPS:  "I have received official confirmation that the Canada
Scholarships Program has been terminated for 1995-96," says Ken Lavigne, 
UW's associate registrar (admissions). "Industry Canada emphasizes that 'the 
federal government intends to honour its commitments to Scholars already in 
the system, within the limits of established budgets, so long as they 
continue to meet the eligibility and renewal criteria.' UW's Scholars who 
feared their scholarships will be lost can relax!" The end of the program had 
been widely expected, as Ottawa prepared its recent program-slicing budget, 
and the promise that existing scholarship holders would be "grandfathered" 
also comes as no surprise.

GOODBYE to those who are taking time off because of the schools' March
break.  (As always during March break, UW's Campus Day will be happening
this coming Tuesday.)
