It's not an unlucky day

Even if it is Friday the thirteenth, it's also Rosh Hashanah: the beginning of a new year according to the Jewish calendar. The first day of the month of Tishri in the year 5757 begins at sundown this evening. The Waterloo Jewish Students Association notes services this evening and tomorrow morning both at Temple Shalom in Waterloo and at Beth Jacob Synagogue in Kitchener. L'shana tova tikotenu!

Campus rec is in action

Leafing through the campus recreation brochure, I see that registration for fitness and other classes is scheduled for this coming Wednesday and Thursday. First step: pick up a ticket on Wednesday between 8:30 and 1:00 at the "red north, main level corner" of the Physical Activities Complex. (Fitness programs have a geography prerequisite, I guess.) Second step: register at PAC room 2039 at the time indicated on your ticket, and be sure to bring your WatCard with you.

Rebecca Boyd, the athletics department's fitness and aquatics coordinator, says Campus Rec is currently looking for fitness instructors. Applications are available in the athletics department office in the PAC.

And she sends word of some highlights she'd like people to know about:

Campus Recreation is offering a Lifesaving Society Diploma Course this term. Diploma is the highest award possible from any Lifesaving Society. There are currently 300 people in Canada who have obtained the award and 100 of those are in Ontario. An information meeting has been scheduled for Thursday, September 26, at PAC 1001 for 6 p.m. . . .

The Fitness and Aquatics areas of Campus Recreation are hosting an Aquafitness Instructor Workshop on September 21 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and September 22 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. This workshop is for anyone who is interested in becoming an aquafit instructor, or has an interest in aquafitness in general. Cost is $5. . . .

For more information, Boyd can be reached at ext. 5034.

Happening today at Waterloo

The UW soccer team "will be lending a helping hand" at Brubaker's cafeteria in the Student Life Centre, from 11:30 to 1:30 today, says Michele Grondin in the food services department.

Nancy-Lou Patterson, retired professor of fine arts, has a new book out -- a novel, Barricade Summer -- and will be reading from it, and signing copies of her books, from 7 to 9 this evening at Westmount Place mall. Tomorrow, also at Westmount Place, Patterson will appear as part of a children's reading event, from 1:45 to 2 p.m. and 2:30 to 2:45.

The Federation of Students sponsors "Fed Info Days", with a mixture of information and entertainment, today in the Student Life Centre.

The weekend and next week

Just a few things: And finally: information sessions about graduate scholarship funding -- of special interest to today's undergraduate students who are thinking of moving on to master's and PhD study -- are scheduled for next week. Elaine Garner, of the graduate studies office, says a session for the faculty of arts is scheduled for Tuesday at 12:30 in Humanities room 334; for the faculty of science, Tuesday at 3:30 in Biology 1 room 226; for the faculty of mathematics, Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. in Davis Centre room 1302.
