BLOOD PRESSURE: A research project in the health studies and gerontology 
department is still short of potential subjects, and so there's a chance
for a free convenient blood pressure screening this week.  Faculty and 
staff members are wanted, they being typically older than students and 
more likely to have "high normal" pressure.  You can call ext. 6553 for a 
screening appointment, or drop by Health Services (room 127) Tuesday, 
Wednesday or Friday between 8:30 and 10:30 a.m. or 3 and 5 p.m.  At the 
very least, you'll learn your blood pressure reading; if it's in the right 
range, they might make you an offer you can't refuse, to become part of the 
research study.

UW'S SENATE meets tonight (Needles Hall 3001, 7:30 p.m.) with an agenda
that includes a post-mortem on the university's hearing with the Ontario
Council on University Affairs last week.  Also: a report from the
University Tenure Appeal Committee (no appeals last year, as 19 people
applied for tenure and all got it).

IMAGINUS brings its annual fall poster show to the Campus Centre this
week.  It's the 20th year for the event, says CC manager Ann Simpson.
Prints and posters are on sale Monday through Thursday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.,
Friday 8 to 5.

THE PSYCHOLOGY department honours Gary Waller this week for his long service
as chair of the department.  He's now moved on to a still heavier load
as interim dean of research, and he'll be the guest of honour at a 3:30
reception on Wednesday in PAS room 3005.

SPEAKING TOMORROW:  Andre Kilian, South African high commissioner to
Canada, will speak tomorrow evening on "Nelson Mandela's South Africa".
The talk, at 7:30 p.m. in Needles Hall room 3001, is sponsored by UW's
Centre on Foreign Policy and Federalism.

FINALLY, SPORTS:  There was something like a record crowd at Seagram
Stadium on Saturday afternoon to see the football Warriors lose 35-16
to Wilfrid Laurier University's Golden Hawks.  That leaves the season
record 3-3, but coach Tuffy Knight says his Warriors will still be going
to the semifinal playoff at the SkyDome on October 29.

And the undefeated rugby Warriors stayed that way, beating the University
of Toronto 42-6 on the weekend.  (The rugby junior varsity also did for
Toronto, winning 33-18.)

THAT'S ALL from the running dog lackey of the silk tie set, as a posting 
on uw.general called the Daily Bulletin last week.  Maybe they were kidding.
