Daily Bulletin, Tuesday, October 11, 1994

YES, it's Tuesday already.  Give the United Way an extra dollar for each
time you call it Monday this morning.  Helen Kilbride, chair of the
on-campus United Way campaign, says the September 30 "casual dress" day
raised more than $1,000, and pledges for the real money, cheques and payroll
deductions over the next twelve months, are just starting to come in.

CO-OP INTERVIEWS start today, as several thousand students -- including
those in term 1A who have never faced this experience before -- look for
winter term jobs.  Placements are never easy, but there's such a flood of
employers this term, the co-op department says, that interviews will run
a week longer than originally scheduled, carrying on into the early days
of November.  The "student access system" for on-line listings of interview
dates and job details still isn't available, but the co-op and data 
processing departments are hard at work on the final touches.

HEARING IS SET:  UW's hearing with the Ontario Council on University
Affairs, about the distribution of provincial funds to the universities,
is scheduled for this Thursday, starting at 9 a.m., at the Waterloo Inn
on King Street North.

DISCRIMINATION COMMITTEE: More public sessions have been scheduled by the 
provost's ad hoc committee on "desirable changes to UW policies and 
procedures dealing with harassment, prejudicial discrimination, and other 
unethical behaviour". Of particular interest to the committee is how 
"existing policies, procedures and committees might be effectively 
rationalized". Public sessions will be held Thursday, October 13 (chiefly 
for undergraduate students), and Tuesday, October 18 (chiefly for graduate 
students), both in Arts Lecture room 113 at 12:30 p.m. More information 
about the committee is available through its secretary, Emily Barnes of the 
university secretariat.

THE PASCAL LECTURES bring R. J. Berry of University College (London) to
Waterloo this week. The lectures, more or less annual, are privately
financed, and bring in a noted speaker on some aspect of "Christianity and
the university".  Berry, who is professor of genetics, will be speaking on
bioethical issues -- the "ethics of reproductive technology" on Tuesday
evening and the "ethics of environmental action" on Wednesday.  Both
lectures start at 8 p.m. in the Theatre of the Arts, Modern Languages
building, and admission is free.

TEACHER TRAINING:  Here's the schedule of talks on campus by representatives
of faculties of education.  The talks are meant for potential students,
and are all in the Humanities Theatre.  They will all be videotaped, with 
the tapes available late in October at the career resource centre in Needles 
Hall.

     Wednesday: Lakehead, 9:30; Toronto, 11:30; Nipissing, 2:30;
     Charles Sturt University (Australia), 3:30; TEACH (Britain),
     4:30; Daemen College (New York), 5:30; Canisius College (New
     York), 6:30.

     Thursday:  Brock, 9:30; York, 10:30; Western, 11:30; Windsor,
     2:30; Queen's, 3:30.

Coming Tuesday, October 18, is Northern College, Scotland; that talk will
be at 10:30 in Engineering Lecture room 211.

FINALLY, I was sorry to learn from recent postings on uw.general that there
is no chess club on campus and there hasn't been huge interest in starting
one.  It's especially poignant on a morning like this, with Jack Frost
nipping at our nose.  If only such a club held its meetings in the Davis
Centre great hall, we could also have chess nuts boasting in an open foyer!
