STUDENT MOURNED:  Warren Lavery, who had just finished first year studies in 
the kinesiology department, died Monday from injuries suffered in a car 
accident just east of Kitchener.  "A phenomenal guy all around," an 
acquaintance in kinesiology calls him, noting that Lavery was an honour-roll 
student, a strong athlete and an active participant in student activities.  
He was organizing applied health sciences orientation for next September, and
was working for the summer in the occupational biomechanics lab, headed
by Richard Wells of the kin department.  He was also playing baseball for
the amateur Waterloo Expos, and was travelling with teammates to a game
in Guelph when the accident took place.

Visitation is set for today (2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m.) at the Skinner and
Middlebrook funeral home in Mississauga.  The funeral will be held tomorrow
at 11 a.m. at Clarkson Road Presbyterian Church, Mississauga.

LEARNING TECHNOLOGY:  Says a note from John Robinson of the Teaching
Resource office: "In the Federal Government's Networks of Centres of 
Excellence) Phase II program, there are opportunities for active researchers 
to form new networks in five targetted theme areas. One of these theme areas 
is technology-based learning.  A learning technologies steering group here 
at the University of Waterloo has been considering leadership or 
participation in an NCE proposal in technology-based learning. The group 
has been active for several months, and would now like to present a status 
report to other UW learning technologies researchers."

An information session on the activity to date will take place on Tuesday,
July 19, from 10:30 to 11:30 in Math and Computer room 4040.  A short
presentation will be followed by a question-and-answer session.  All 
potential contributors are invited to attend.

PRINCIPAL COMING:  St. Paul's United College will soon get its new
principal.  The chosen leader will be introduced to the community at a
meeting tomorrow morning, says Russel Legge, dean of St. Paul's and
acting principal since the June 30 retirement of Bill Klassen.

BASKETBALL GAME:  Team Canada will be playing in UW's main gym on
Thursday, July 28, as a feature of the Canadian national junior basketball
championships, which start here July 24.  Twenty teams will be here for
about ten days.  It's among the livelier gatherings set for the Village
II conference centre in the late summer.  Next week the Village will be
emptier than usual -- "It's brick and roofing week," says manager Dave 
Reynolds.

The July 28 basketball game sees Team Canada face Team Germany at 8 p.m.
Tickets are $8 (students $5) at the door.

PLAYING TODAY:  Admission is free, on the other hand, to today's softball
game, as professors face off against students from the pure mathematics
department (Columbia Field, 2:30).

OKAY, OKAY:  I've had several solemn comments about a sentence in
yesterday's Gazette, in the paragraph about the "best books" and "worst
books" lists collected from patrons of UW's libraries.  Really, I do
know that Lord of the Rings wasn't a sequel to Lord of the Flies.  That
was a joke, guys, a joke.  In fact, the sequel to Lord of the Flies
was Lord Jim.
