ANOTHER COLD DAY at least offers the chance for a hot issue to be
discussed: the proposed "ancillary" fee -- somewhere in the hundred-dollar
range, estimates say -- to pay for student services.  The Federation of
Students is holding its final forum on the subject starting at 10 this
morning in the Campus Centre.  The Graduate Student Association holds
its forum on fees at 3:30 this afternoon in Davis Centre 1351.

GENTLEMAN CALLERS:  "The Glass Menagerie" opens tonight in the Theatre of
the Arts, starring Linda Albanese as Laura and Joey Morin as Jim. It's
directed by Jennifer Epps, who was sensitively interviewed about her work
for last Wednesday's Waterloo Chronicle.  The play -- about an ugly
duckling, a gentleman caller, a dominant mother and a twisted sister --
runs tonight through Saturday at 8 p.m.; the theatre centre box office
has tickets (885-4280).

A POPULAR PLACE:  How many visitors come to UW in a year?  More than
500,000 in 1993, according to a report from Marlene Miles, UW's coordinator
of community relations.  The biggest single attraction was the Canada
Day fireworks, which brought an estimated 60,000 people to the north
campus.  Among other attractions: the Physical Activities Complex
(200,000 visitors during the year), Columbia Icefield (50,000), food 
services facilities (10,000), convocation (17,500) and the Humanities 
Theatre (more than 60,000).

FILM SERIES:  The film festival "Among Equals", sponsored by the Waterloo
Public Interest Research Group, continues today (and all week).  At
noon today, in Davis Centre 1302: "Burning Rivers" and three other
environmental films.  At 5:30 p.m., also in DC 1302: "Remnants of Eden",
"The Man Who Planted Trees" and two other films.  Tomorrow's films, at
noon and 6:30, deal with health issues.
