Daily Bulletin, Monday, March 20, 1995

SPRING BEGINS today (the vernal equinox comes at 9:14 p.m. our time), and
while there are many ways to celebrate, the most eccentric one surely is at
Lake Superior State University, just across the rapids from Algoma 
University College in Sault Ste. Marie.  LSSC today will be marking its
annual Snowman Burning and outdoor poetry reading.

CLOSER TO HOME, nothing so exciting is planned.  Much of the action is
scheduled for next week instead, when day after day of special events will
be taking place to mark the grand opening of the revised-and-enlarged
Campus Centre.  We'll have the details in Wednesday's Gazette.

UW'S SENATE meets tonight, at 7:30 in Needles Hall room 3001.  You never
can tell what's going to come up and spark controversy, but the agenda
includes such reasonably routine matters as a policy statement on transfers
to UW from community colleges; the 1996-97 admission requirements; and a
"state of the faculty" report from David Burns, dean of engineering.  The
committee that chooses Distinguished Teacher Award winners is expected
to report the names of the 1995 winners.

ENGLISH professor Paul Beam speaks tonight as part of the Institute for
Computer Research lecture series.  His topic is "Standard Generalized
Markup Language: Document Development and On-line Training".  The lecture
starts at 8 p.m. in Davis Centre room 1302.

CHRIST AWARENESS Week starts today under sponsorship from half a dozen
Christian groups on campus.  Planned are daily prayer meetings (8:30 a.m.
in the top level of the new Campus Centre wing), a bookstall in the Davis
Centre foyer, discussions, and other events, leading up to a dinner
on Friday night.

PART-TIME STUDY:  An information session runs from 7 to 8:30 tonight at
the part-time studies office, 156 Columbia Street.  It's intended for 
people who are thinking about beginning studies at UW and would like to
know more about what's available.  "Academic advisors and other resource
people can discuss your educational background and goals on a one-to-one
basis.  It's also a convenient way for returning students to pre-register
for the new term."  If the main thing you need is a part-time studies
calendar, you can request it from 888-4002 or e-mail conted@corr1.

IN COURT:  A male math student will appear in court today to enter a plea 
with regard to two charges laid by UW police -- criminal harassment and 
assault.  The charges, laid last February, stem from a series of events which 
began last fall.  They involve harassment of a female math student using 
e-mail over an extended period.  The assault charge stems from a physical 
assault on another male student on campus earlier this year.
