Daily Bulletin, Wednesday, February 1, 1995 FASS OPENS tonight at 8, and while the grapevine says Monday night's rehearsal didn't finish until 1:20 in the morning, the actual performance of "Village Don of the Dead" will surely be a little speedier than that. FASS has been hitting UW stages each winter since 1962, which makes it one of the university's oldest traditions -- almost as old as some of the jokes that will, I trust, draw laughs in the Humanities Theatre tonight. Tickets: 888-4908. GRADE REPORTS from the fall term can be picked up in the registrar's office between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. each day -- that's if you are an undergraduate in arts, ES, mathematics, science or applied health sciences, and are on a full-time schedule again this winter term. Engineering students can find their grade reports in their departmental offices, and co-op students from all faculties who are off campus this term can expect their reports in the mail. Optometry and independent studies grade reports have been sent to departmental offices also, and students at Renison and St. Jerome's College should look to the college offices for their reports. UW ON TV: The successes of the Waterloo Region economy will be the topic of TVOntario's current affairs program "Studio 2" tonight from 8 to 9. Part of the program is being broadcast live (from, of all places, the Brick Brewery downtown) and part is previously taped. Students working in UW's computer graphics and robotics labs are likely to be seen. One segment of the program deals with the role of UW in the regional economy; it features Ted Cross of UW's technology transfer and licensing office. Fred McCourt and Janusz Pawliszyn of the chemistry department were also interviewed, about inventions that have been moved successfully from the lab to the marketplace. WRONG DATE: Katrina Maugham of the human resources department sends word of an error in the "Get Up and Grow" brochure that's just been distributed by the staff development and training committee. "Under the section for Non-Management Professional, Core Interpersonal Skills," she writes, "the last date, April 4, is incorrect. It should read March 14." AIDING JAPAN: Renison College has agreed to act as a collection point for financial contributions to the "Kobe Fund" which has been set up by the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre in Toronto to aid those suffering due to the Kobe earthquake. The link is a natural once, since UW's East Asian studies program is based at Renison. Barbara Checketts, business manager at the college, says donations can be sent to her in care of Renison, and will be forwarded to JCCC on behalf of the UW community. Receipts will be issued for donations over $10. BLOWOUT SALE: That's the label that Federation of Students businesses are using for three days of bargains this week. The Campus Shop and other Fed subsidiaries have set up in the great hall of the campus centre (from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) and are offering special deals, to reduce inventory before they move into their new locations in the expanded CC later this month. UTILITY SHUTDOWN: Chilled water will be shut off tomorrow from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. in parts of Engineering 2, the plant operations department advises.
