THE BLACK PLAGUE, otherwise known as the volleyball Warriors, managed a 
3-games-to-2 win over the McMaster Marauders in the PAC last night.  That
puts them into the west division finals, to be played Saturday night at
8, also in UW's main gymnasium.

A JOB FAIR starts at 10 this morning at Bingemans Conference Centre, on
Victoria Street North in Kitchener.  It's jointly sponsored by the career
offices of UW, Wilfrid Laurier University, the University of Guelph and
Conestoga College, under the rubric "Partnerships for Employment".  Dozens
of firms and agencies that are hiring permanent or summer employees are
expected to be on hand.  The job fair runs through 3:30 p.m., and shuttle
buses are running from UW's Campus Centre.

MARDI GRAS comes Friday night, in case you hadn't noticed any of the
publicity.  Among the organizers of the event -- sponsored by the Community
Campaign -- is Arthur Hills of the math faculty computing facility, who
draws attention to a list of items to be sold in the "silent auction" on
Friday night.  The full list was posted to uw.general yesterday.  It seems
to include everything from T-shirts to Inuit sculpture, as well as a season
pass at SportsWorld, and these four items listed consecutively:
   Mystery dinner for 2 Aberfoyle Mill
   Electric Stapler
   2 pr. Bolle Sun/ski glasses
   Manicure/pedicure

OLEANNA, the drama department's two-character studio production of a
controversial play by David Mamet, resumes tonight.  Performances are at
8, Wednesday through Saturday; tickets, 888-4908.  There's a page-long
review of "Oleanna" in this morning's Gazette.

THE MOTLEY CREW is a video that stars John Cleese (the man of the silly
walks) with a serious purpose -- I think.  "Join Jack The Hat Motley and
his gang," says the available description, "as they learn the hard way
the lessons of teamwork through a bungled bank robbery."  The staff training
and development committee is showing the video at 12 noon today in Davis
Centre room 1302; all are welcome.

And speaking of staff training and development, space is available in
several coming sessions, the human resources department notes.  For
example, there are spaces in the creativity workshop set for March 10;
the "Managing Change" module of the FrontLine program, starting March 13;
and "Developing Team Performance", also part of FrontLine, starting
February 20.  Anyone interested should call Marg Letter at ext. 6645.

VOTING winds up today in the annual Federation of Students elections.
Polls are open across campus from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

MATHEMATICS professor Steve Furino of St. Jerome's College will talk this
afternoon -- invited by the Pure Math and Combinatorics and Optimization
Club -- about aspects of the history of mathematics.  Description provided:
"This will be an anecdotal lecture on the mathematics and mathematicians
of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries.  We will begin in
Cambridge with Arthur Cayley, who has surprising connections to the 
University of Waterloo.  Next, we visit Paris for the International
Congress of Mathematicians and Hilbert's famous 23 problems, then to
Gottingen and the foundational disputes between Hilbert, Brouwer and
Russell.  Godel's dominating contributions to these disputes gave way
to the 2nd World War where new disciplines in mathematics, including some
that now thrive at UW, made stunning contributions.  Here we will meet
Turing and von Neumann.  A quick spin through the remarkable accomplishments
of the latter half  of this century will bring us back to Cambridge
and the solution of Fermat's Last Theorem by Andrew Wiles."  All are
welcome; the event is in Math and Computer room 4045 starting at 4:30.
