It's a hot, hot day
Need I say more? The
weather forecast is for a high of 35 (also known as 94). There's
relief here and there, though: food services director Mark Murdoch says
the temperature in his big walk-in freezer is a comfortable minus-20
Celsius. "We're hoping to sell lots of hot coffee on a day like this,"
Murdoch says, straight-faced.
UW senate meets tonight
For the last time in 1994-95, the university senate will be meeting
tonight, at 7:30 p.m. in Needles Hall 3001. On the agenda are various
technical matters, course changes, new and revised scholarships, and so on.
(The committee on scholarships and student aid reports total givings
of $99,588 to the senate scholarship fund in the past year, and another
$33,367 for graduate scholarships; most of that money comes from staff
and faculty through the Community Campaign.)
The research council will have a long report recommending creation of
four new research centres:
- Centre for Advanced Studies in Finance, based in the school of
accountancy.
- Institute for Innovation Research, based in the faculty of engineering,
particularly the department of management sciences.
- Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing, based in the math
faculty and incorporating its programs that support high school mathematics.
- Waterloo Centre for Materials Technology, drawing on physics,
electrical and computer engineering, and other departments in engineering
and science.
Engineers also meet today
The engineering faculty council has a meeting set for 3:30 p.m in
Carl Pollock Hall room 3385. Among items on the agenda is a presentation
on "crisis intervention" by people from the UW police, health and safety,
counselling services, and other agencies on campus.
And on World Sauntering Day, that's all from . . .
