Daily Bulletin, Friday, January 13, 1995

IT'S VERY BAD LUCK to walk under a ladder on a foggy Friday the 13th,
so throw a pinch of salt if you happen to visit the Campus Centre today,
where construction continues.  (Latest prediction: a grand opening at
the end of March.)

You may have to go to the CC, though, if you have ambitions in student
politics.  Today at 4:30 is the deadline for nominations for Federation of
Students executive positions.  Last-minute information comes from the 
Fed office in CC room 235.  Students' Council will meet at 12 noon on
Sunday in Needles Hall room 3004.

BASKETBALL fans have a good weekend ahead, with doubleheaders both
tonight and tomorrow night against Lakehead University.  UW's Athenas
face off against the Lakehead women at 6:00 both nights, with the Warriors
against the Lakehead men following at 8:00 -- all in the Physical
Activities Complex main gym.

Christine Rivet, sports columnist in the K-W Record, had this useful
summary of the Warriors' prospects in her article on Wednesday:

     Former CIAU rookie of the year Sean Van Koughnett returns for his
     fifth and final year.  He'll play any one of four positions,
     including a point guard assignment on Friday against Lakehead.
     The loss of fiery shooting guard Alex Urosevic cuts to the bone.  He
     was the heart and soul of the Warriors.  Only forward Tom Balfe --
     who played but three games through the preseason due to a hip
     injury -- has shown he can help replace Urosevic's emotional
     leadership.  Coach Tom Kieswetter says Waterloo's preseason record
     of 4-13 (wins-losses) looks horrible.  "But we had to pay the
     price for our inexperience."

Also in sports this weekend: the volleyball Athenas host McMaster at noon
tomorrow, and there's a Waterloo-Guelph swim meet in the PAC pool tomorrow.
Other teams are on the road, including the hockey Warriors at Western
tonight and Windsor on Sunday afternoon.

ST. JEROME'S College has two events today.  At 2:30 p.m., contributors to
a new anthology, Eating Apples: Knowing Women's Lives, will read in the
college's common room.  All are welcome.  (At 4:00, editor Caterina
Edwards and some of the contributors will move on to SmithBooks in
Westmount Mall, where they'll be available to sign copies.)

At 7:30 tonight, Rev. Dean Brackley, of the University of Central
America, speaks on "Fire on Earth: Christian Commitment in a Divided
World".  It's the college's fourth annual Ignatian Lecture.  Admission
is free.

OTHER DISTRACTIONS:  Paul McLeod plays a free matinee at the Bombshelter
pub in the Campus Centre.  "Road Apples" appear tonight at Federation
Hall (tickets at the Federation of Students office in the CC).  "None
Crete" plays tonight at the Graduate House.

The Twin Cities Kiwanis "travel and adventure" series brings slides about
"Norway, Land of the Midnight Sun" to the Humanities Theatre at 8
tonight -- tickets $5.50, children $3.50.

THE AUDIO-VISUAL Centre has part-time work available for the winter term.
Applications for projectionists and TV camera operators will be accepted
from registered students only (preference to junior undergraduates).
Training is provided; the jobs pay $7.32 per hour.  Interested students
should come in person to the A-V office, Engineering 2 room 1309.
Deadline: January 30.

AND FINALLY, the Hagey Bonspiel goes tomorrow at the Ayr Curling Club.
The event has "a long tradition of having fun, which must be maintained",
says Steve Cook of the purchasing department, one of this year's
organizers of the off-the-wall, on-the-ice faculty-and-staff event.
I'll hope for a report on Monday.
