Daily Bulletin, Friday, February 3, 1995 RETHINKING PARKING: That'll be the frosty Friday . . . oh. Well, it's a frosty Friday, and the word has come down that a five-person committee is to do "a general review of parking and traffic" and report to the provost. A memo from the provost, Jim Kalbfleisch, notes several things that have affected parking and traffic in recent years: building additions and renovations, moves of services from one place to another, "personal safety" and increased traffic. And now, there are plans to put the Environmental Science and Engineering building on parking lot B1. The committee is to give its advice after considering the campus master plan, likely changes to the university and its surroundings over the next decade, UW's "obligation" -- Kalbfleisch has the word in quotation marks -- to provide parking for everybody (and "whether some restrictions should apply"), and "priority of convenient parking for visitors" and co-op employers. It's also to consider the price of parking, bearing in mind that UW is facing a financial pinch and might need to start making a profit from the parking operation, which has always been run to break even. Chairing the committee is Bob Elliott, associate provost (general services). Other members are Dennis Huber of plant operations, Bob Porter of classical studies, Ric Haldenby of architecture, and Bruce Hutchinson of civil engineering. It is to "consult broadly" and produce a preliminary report by July 1. PHONE BOOKS: Not only have the new on-campus phone books arrived, the 1995-96 Waterloo Region books are also starting to come in. Patti Cook, the waste management coordinator, reminds everybody that the old books can be recycled. Old on-campus phone books count as "coloured" paper; old Waterloo Region books should be piled beside the white recycling boxes. (At home, you can put your Waterloo Region phone book in the blue box for collection.) WEEKEND EVENTS: Grant Brown of the University of Lethbridge visits the philosophy department today, and will say bad things about "employment equity" programs at 3:30 p.m. in Humanities 373. Organizer Jan Narveson had been having difficulty finding anybody to speak in opposition to him, but advises yesterday that "my colleague Anne Minas has suddenly volunteered to give at least a short response." Rev. Len Altilia speaks on "Catholic Education: The Next Generation" at 7:30 tonight at Siegfried Hall, St. Jerome's College. FASS continues with two performances tonight (7 and 10 p.m.) and one on Saturday (8 p.m.) in the Humanities Theatre. Ron Mathies of the peace and conflict studies program will give the 15th annual Benjamin Eby Lecture, Sunday at 3 p.m. in the chapel of Conrad Grebel College. His topic: "Service as (Trans)formation -- the Mennonite Central Committee as Educational Institution". Cape Breton singing group The Barra MacNeils appear Sunday at 8 p.m. in the Humanities Theatre. The box office (888-4908) has tickets. And in sports, there are several home events. The volleyball Athenas host Guelph at 6:00 tonight, and the hockey Warriors host Guelph at 7:30 at the Icefield. Tomorrow, there's a basketball doubleheader: the Athenas hosting the McMaster University women at 12 noon, the Warriors hosting the McMaster men at 2:00. Sunday, the hockey Warriors are at it again, with Toronto's Varsity Blues playing here at 2 p.m. Other teams are on the road, including the volleyball "Black Plague", who spend the weekend at a tournament at Universite Laval in Quebec City.
