Daily Bulletin, Monday, March 7, 1994

THE MORNING AFTER the dance department's show "Spirit" (which was a long
one and a brilliant success, reliable reports say), and the second morning
after the drama department's sellout studio show "Agnes of God", it's a
Monday, and it's the start of preregistration week.

Undergraduate students who plan to be on campus in the spring term (starts
in May), the summer session (July), the fall term (September) or the winter
term (January 1995) can -- and should -- choose their courses this week.
Department and faculty offices have the "course offerings list" which
shows what courses will be available in each of those terms, and that
document also has details about times, places and advisors for preregistration.

WOMEN'S WEEK:  Events of various kinds are taking place to mark what's 
come to be known as International Women's Week.  Among the highlights in 
the next couple of days:

     "Whitewash: Alternatives to Commercial Feminine Hygiene Products",
     at 12:30 today in Davis Centre 1301, sponsored (we think) by the
     Federation of Students women's centre.

     "Visions of the Feminine", a presentation by Indian dancer Anne-Marie
     Gaston (Anjali), at 7:30 tonight in the Humanities Theatre, sponsored
     by the women's studies program.

     A panel discussion on sexual harassment, at noon Tuesday in Math
     and Computer room 5158, sponsored by the UW Feminist Caucus.
     Panelists:  Matt Erickson (coordinator of ethical behaviour and human
     rights), Sally Gunz (accountancy professor and chair of the ethics
     committee), Catharine Scott (director of human resources), Barbara
     Schumacher (director of health and safety).

     "Body Image", a presentation by Sunny Sundberg and Vicki Warwick of
     counselling services, at 12:30 Tuesday in Davis Centre 1301.

STUDY OF ADMINISTRATION:  The "president's advisory committee on central
administrative structure" is repeating its invitation for comments from
across the university.  Its ambit includes the senior officers who report
to the president and provost (nearly all of them based on the third floor
of Needles Hall), and the questions being posed are these:
      
     -- What purposes should the central administration serve?

     -- What authority and responsibility should vest in the central 
administration?

     -- What relationship should there be between the central administration 
and the faculties/ academic support departments/ ancillary services/ 
students/ church colleges?

     -- What are the strengths and weaknesses of the present central 
administrative structure?

     -- What changes to the current structure will be required to meet current 
and future needs?

As announced last week, comments can be sent to the committee through the
university secretary, Needles Hall 3060.  Or (this part is new in the latest
announcement) they can be sent directly to Dr. J.  F. O'Sullivan, Chair,
President's Advisory Committee on Central Administrative Structure at the 
University of Waterloo, c/o The University of New Brunswick, PO Box 4400,
Fredericton, New Brunswick E3B 5A3.  Deadline is March 31.
