Daily Bulletin, Wednesday, March 29, 1995

THE DINING ROOM opens tonight in the Theatre of the Arts -- the drama
department's last production for 1994-95, an undergraduate thesis project
for fourth-year students Dylan Roberts and Penney Shore. The play, by
A. R. Gurney, "examines both old-fashioned and modern family life and
values", a news release says:

     The entire play takes place around a dining room table, with an
     ensemble cast of six, donning many roles during the course of
     the play.  The actors change roles, personalities and ages with
     virtuoso skill as they portray everything from little boys to
     stern grandfathers, and from giggling teenage girls to Irish
     housemaids.

The play's on tonight through Saturday at 8 p.m.  Tickets are $10
(students $8) from the Humanities box office, 888-4908.

CELEBRATIONS continue in the campus centre.  Today's "Business and Service"
day, with a sidewalk sale and many specials.  I'm not sure I can list all
the retailers that are, or shortly will be, open for business in the CC,
but let me try, with a little help from the grand opening brochure:

     All Campus Pharmacy; Apple II hairstylist; Bell Canada; Bombshelter;
     Campus Cove (now what's that?); Campus Shop; Canadian Imperial Bank
     of Commerce; Copy Plus; Scoops; SOS Physiotherapy; Used Bookstore;
     Variety and Post.  Oh, and the UW food services department with
     its new Marketplace.

Also today in the CC: a "silent auction" of "old CC paraphernalia", in
the great hall.

NATIVE ARTS:  The UW Native Students Association presents "Spirit of
Turtle Island", a native arts and crafts show, today through Friday in
the Davis Centre foyer.  Things start at noon today, running from 12 to
6 today and Thursday, noon to 4 p.m. on Friday.
     
MULTI-MEDIA:  The library has made a major appointment that suggests the 
importance it attaches to handling information and media in "non-traditional"
formats, that is, things that aren't books and journals.  Bruce Macneil,
associate librarian (public services), is being borrowed away from that
job for "three to five years" to head a "multimedia resources action
team", starting the first of April.

He and his team (drawn from the library and the audio-visual centre, and
later other parts of the university) will be looking at how to implement
the report of the Task Group on Non-Traditional Media, which talks about
creation of "a media centre to serve all members of the University
community".  The report is available on UWinfo.
