While the Naismith basketball tournament happens in one part of campus, and Federation Hall cranks up the music in its Big Tent, there will be thought-provoking words from a social activist across the creek at St. Jerome's College.
He's Victor Malarek, a Gemini Award winning investigative reporter and co-host of CBC TV's "The Fifth Estate", who will present "Silent Witness: Standing on the Sidelines" tonight at 7 in Siegfried Hall, St. Jerome's. Malarek will examine the role of exposing injustices and corruption in society. Why do injustices continue? Why do we find ourselves as silent witnesses to abuses and corruption? What keeps people from speaking out?
Malarek has often been described as a "crusading" journalist. A street kid from Lachine, Québec, he has gone on to write four acclaimed books. He is an award-winning investigative reporter whose exposes of corruption and injustice for the Globe and Mail and CBC have made an impact on Canadian society. Malarek's fourth book, Gut Instinct: The Making of an Investigative Journalist, recounts some of his major investigations as a reporter.
Malarek's lecture is the thirteenth annual University of St. Jerome's College Graduates' Association Lecture. The evening will include the lecture, a break, and a question period. Admission is free and everyone is welcome.

"The Persistent Tradition: Canadian Contemporary Landscapes" opens today in the UW art gallery in Modern Languages, and runs through December 14.
Teachers in the Early Childhood Education Centre in UW's psychology department are away from the kids today, but it's nothing to do with the Ontario teachers' strike. They're off to visit the Child Development Centre in Bolton, Ontario, which "is regarded as innovative in its environmental design for children and staff, its programming and its commitment from the Husky Oil Company" -- so they'll be back on Monday with some new ideas.
The philosophy department presents a colloquium by faculty member Paul Thagard, on "Emotional Coherence: Trust, Empathy and Nationalism", at 3:30 in Humanities room 334.
The electrical and computer engineering department will hold a "graduate studies information night" at the University Club this evening, starting at 6:30. Several faculty members will talk briefly, and there will be refreshments.
The football Warriors face Western's Mustangs at J. W. Little Stadium in London at 1 p.m. Saturday, trying for the Yates Cup, representing the Ontario championship, and a chance to move one step closer to the national Vanier Cup.
A workshop on public speaking and presentations, sponsored by the local Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, runs tomorrow in the Davis Centre. Last-minute information about fees and registration: David Wang, ext. 3968.
An exhibition of artwork by Linda Sitler-Howe, of UW's information and public affairs office, is running through the end of November at Gallery 2000 Plus in Kitchener. An opening reception is scheduled for tomorrow, 2 to 5 p.m.
St. Jerome's College alumni are off to the Stratford Festival production of "Equus" as a Homecoming-related group outing on Sunday afternoon. The play will be preceded by lunch and a "refresher course" on the play by St. Jerome's professor Ted McGee, who's also a member of the Festival's board of directors.
"Graphics has always intended to provide an area for moving Venda money from the Venda Card to the WatCard. We know this will be a slow and sometimes frustrating experience for the customer if long line-ups occur. This is why we encourage the using up of Venda funds if possible. Graphics will announce a location for fund transfers at the beginning of January (or sooner) when all the self-serve copiers are converted. We will not announce the location until the Venda program is finished, otherwise customers will want to convert their money too early and not be able to copy because a Venda card system is still in effect on the copier."
