BRITISH VISITOR Caroline Warrior is at UW today -- yesterday's Bulletin
wrongly said she was visiting yesterday.  Warrior is assistant director

Research Council, and research professor Owen Ward of the biology

LANGUAGE SCHOLARSHIPS:  Here's word of several $5,000 scholarships that
haven't been announced in the Gazette, and the January 31 deadline is
imminent.  The Queen Elizabeth Silver Jubilee Awards are for undergraduate
students who want to study at another Canadian university in their second
official language.  Applicants must be in second or third year, and
with "sufficient ability" in French (if English is the first language)
to be able to study in that language.  More information is available from
the Student Awards Office in Needles Hall.

afternoon.
