Daily Bulletin, Monday, March 14

VISITORS TOMORROW:  For the 22nd year, the Tuesday of the public schools'
March break week means Campus Day for UW, with thousands of high school
students and their parents descending on Waterloo.  Events are set in all
the faculties and many non-academic departments, according to the bright
purple tabloid newspaper that the secondary school liaison office has
prepared.  Headquarters for the day is an information centre in the foyer
of the Davis Centre; tours leave from there, and displays will tell future
students about the kinds of services Waterloo offers them, from libraries
to financial aid.

Steve Little of the liaison office is asking staff, students and faculty to
be prepared for a crowded campus tomorrow, and particularly to leave their
cars at home if possible, so there are parking spaces available for all the
visitors.  Official Campus Day hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

SPEAKING TODAY: The biopsychology division of the psychology department has 
a special guest for its seminar today: Dr. Phil Bryden, who will speak on
"Handedness in Humans and Other Animals".  His talk starts at 1 p.m. in
PAS building room 3026.

TOP SCHOLARSHIPS: Seven UW students have won the Natural Sciences and 
Engineering Research Council's prestigious 1967 Scholarships this year,
out of 55 awarded across Canada.

The winners, who will use the scholarships to go on to graduate work, are
Robert J. Bauer, mechanical engineering; Paul M. Bridger, physics; Mark S. 
Davis, electrical and computer engineering; James M. Fraser, physics;
Susan J. Moore, biology; Martin J. Wainwright, applied mathematics; and 
Lowell L. Winger, systems design engineering.  

NSERC says it chooses scholarship winners for their proposed research plans, 
their background training and knowledge of their chosen discipline, their 
career goals and general interests and outside activities.  UW nominated 
18 students, NSERC interviewed nine of them, and seven students received 
awards.  The current yearly value of the 1967 Science and Engineering 
Scholarships is $21,300. The scholarships are for two years and renewable 
for two more years.  Students may take up the scholarship at any university 
in Canada or abroad. Normally they may not continue at the university where 
they did their undergraduate work.
