Thursday, October 21, 1993

ON A GRAY and bleary-eyed day (the morning after a 15-14 ball game
isn't a good time to expect sparkling enthusiasm), there are things to
do at Waterloo.  A classicist visiting from Victoria will talk about the
Battle of Marathon this afternoon (3:30, Davis Centre 1302) and it's
John Belushi Film Night at the Graduate House (from 7:00).

PLANNERS GATHER:  Meeting here today and tomorrow is the high-powered
Pragma Council, a group of government and private-sector planning
professionals, many of them UW alumni.  They assemble to discuss major
issues in the planning field and to advise UW's school of urban and
regional planning.  The theme of this week's Pragma meeting seems quite
appropriate for the weekend before an election: "Government in Crisis:
Looking to the Future".

BONDS FOR SALE:  Tomorrow's the deadline for purchase of 1993 Canada
Savings Bonds through the payroll savings plan, a method by which hundreds
of UW staff and faculty help build up their assets.  The payroll office
has forms to authorize payroll deductions starting in November.

I'LL BE AWAY for the next couple of days.  One of my colleagues in
Information and Public Affairs will prepare tomorrow's Daily Bulletin.
