IT'S PAYDAY for just about everybody who works at UW, and there are two
more working days before the Christmas and New Year's break, and the winter
solstice (the astronomical beginning of winter) comes at 9:23 this evening.
But the sun is shining brightly as Roger Downer, vice-president (university 
relations), celebrates his birthday.

Department heads and other administrators have been invited by the
president and provost to a "a brief meeting, with an opportunity for
questions, followed by a reception" at 3:30 this afternoon.  Best bet:
a few words about budget prospects for the new year, and wishes for rest
and rejuvenation over the holiday.

NO GAZETTE is being published today, but here's the one and only Position
Available that would have appeared if it had been:

      Librarian, Dana Porter Library.  Undergraduate degree in the
      humanities or social sciences along with a Master's degree (MLS
      or MLIS) in Library Science.  Excellent communication (oral and
