Student's essay wins award
Heidi Gjertsen, third-year student in economics and environment and
resource studies, is the winner of an essay competition sponsored by
the Fraser Institute. She collects $1,000, and her essay (on the use of
road tolls) is to be published in the Institute's Forum.
In search of volunteers
The local Volunteer Action Centre sends this latest list of its needs:
Kids on the Block puppeteer -- we are looking for creative and artistic
people to be involved in a puppet presentation on a variety of
disability topics. You will be given training in puppetry skills, script
memorization, and disability information. The program runs from September
to June; approximately three hours a week is required. This is an
excellent opportunity to work in the school environment. Listing 077-110.
Telecruiters -- this is not soliciting. You will be contacting previous
blood donors to remind them of upcoming clinics and/or schedule
appointments for the permanent clinic. This will take approximately
two hours a month, can be done from your own home and is totally
compatible with your schedule. Listing 074-777.
The Volunteer Action Centre can be reached at 742-8610, and has plenty
of other volunteer opportunities to match people's schedules, talents
and interests.
Notes on Anne Murray's 50th birthday
- Electrical power (and heating, cooling and ventilation) will be
turned off in the Optometry building from midnight tonight (actually
23:58 p.m., according to the official notice) to 6 a.m. tomorrow.
"Computer equipment should be shut down in an orderly fashion, particularly
Unix systems," the plant operations department advises.
- Looks like a pleasant day -- as long as you can find some shade --
for the annual library staff picnic.
- Higher education today marks the 100th anniversary of a landmark:
the first Doctor of Science degree awarded to a woman. It was Caroline
Willard Baldwin who received the degree, from
Cornell University.
