A manifestation of evil

A speaker from St. Clement's Roman Catholic church in Toronto will be at UW tonight to speak about cults. He is St. Clair McEvenue, and the title of his talk is "Cults: A Manifestation of Evil -- The Works of the Devil". McEvenue, who says he has studied cults and "their devastating effects on their victims" for 20 years, is here under the sponsorship of a local discussion group called Leoknights. His talk will begin at 7 p.m. in Siegfried Hall of St. Jerome's College.

About the chilly climate

Alison Wylie, one of the authors of Breaking Anonymity: The Chilly Climate for Women Faculty, will be speaking at Wilfrid Laurier University tonight under the sponsorship of WLU Press, which has just published that book.

"Chilly climate" has become the conventional phrase for an atmosphere in universities that isn't comfortable for women. In the new book, a group of women faculty, mostly from the University of Western Ontario, discuss how low the temperatures are these days. Wylie is a professor of anthropology at Western.

Her talk starts at 8 p.m. tonight in WLU's Paul Martin Centre.

Looking ahead to Homecoming

With this weekend's Homecoming events rushing up at us, Lynne Sosnowski of the Federation of Students has sent out a plea for participants:
We need volunteers to do set-up work, decorate, run casino games, and more. Shifts range from 1 1/2 hours to 4 or more, and there's work to be done Thursday, Friday, Saturday, daytime or evening. In other words, we have something that can fit your schedule. Volunteers receive free admission to the venue on the night you work; a limited edition souvenir T-shirt (who doesn't want their own tuxedo?); a couple of complimentary malt beverages; a special Alumni Affairs T-shirt for anyone who works more than six hours total on Homecoming; events experience; fun, fun, fun; our undying gratitude!
She can be reached at ext. 6338 ("or come on down to SLC 1102 and sign up on the sheets on my door").

So what's happening at Homecoming? Oh, tailgate pubs at the Bombshelter, the Big Tent casino at Federation Hall, the applied health sciences fun run around the ring road, the Naismith basketball tournament, and a few other things. The front page of tomorrow's Gazette tells the whole story.
