A funeral service will be held today on campus for Philip Bryden, a senior UW psychology professor who died Sunday of a heart attack.
Best known for research on the relation between cognitive functioning and the lateralization of functions in the human brain, Bryden, 62, was a faculty member at UW since 1963. At the time of his death, he was attending a conference in Montreal.
The service begins at 2 p.m. in the Great Hall at Conrad Grebel College.
Bryden leaves his wife Pat Rowe, Dean of Graduate Studies at UW and a psychology professor, and their children, Pam and Penny.
In his memory, donations may be made toward a graduate scholarship. Donations can be sent to UW's Office of Development and Alumni Affairs. For details, call Julia Stortz, at (519) 888-4567, ext. 2036.
The Used Book Store is gearing up for fall term, with extended hours this month and next.
Located in the lower mall of the Student Life Centre, the store is open weekdays, from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Saturdays, from noon to 5 p.m. As of Monday, Sept. 2 (Labour Day) until Friday, Sept. 13, it's open from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. during the week .
"You'll find the best deals in textbooks at the Used Book Store," said Calvin Masson, assistant manager of the business, which is run by the UW Federation of Students.
He said there are hundreds of books for all kinds of courses at the store, adding that students will save at least 20 percent on the cost of new textbooks.
Students can also sell their old textbooks on a consignment basis.
"The store will even buy books that are no longer in use by UW professors," Masson said. "No more frustration when you can't sell an old edition of a textbook."
You'll also see a pointer to the little-known UWinfo Showcase, a list maintained by the UWinfo operations committee to show off interesting and unusual corners of the Waterloo Webspace. Its contents range from a site about orchids to the APL archive maintained by Lee Dickey of UW's Pure Math Department, a repository of files and information about an old warhorse of a computer language.
Back at "About UWinfo and the Web technology", another possible choice is "Instructional Uses of the Web", a page with some background information on how the Web can be used in tea ching. It includes a number of "examples from around the world", with links to Arizona, Wisconsin and even Italy. Among the most important links here is one to The World Lecture Hall, which offers pointers to Web-based courses in fields from Accounting through Advertising and Agricultural Engineering to Virology and Zoology.
