Latest from the Student Life Centre

A Bell Phonecentre should be opening today in the SLC, between the bank and variety store on the ground floor. The phone centre will take over from the service in the Bell Canada trailer near the Davis Centre.

Still to come in the SLC: A Dr. Disc music store is slated to open September 1, a self-serve bike repair room will open early in the fall term and an addition to the Bombshelter pub will be completed later in the year.

Visiting the far northeast

A tour group is setting off today for Labrador, but the trip (lasting until August 26) isn't so much a vacation as it is a "travel seminar."

So says the UW Alumni Magazine: "Among the subjects to be covered are theories of deeply rooted social conflict, history of the Innu, the role of the military and low-level flight testing, the impact of the church on Innu life, justice issues, social disintegration, and healing in Innu communities."

The tour is sponsored by the peace and conflict studies department at Conrad Grebel College and the Mennonite Central Committee of Newfoundland and Labrador.
