They

Gave By Robin Baird Lewis, Arts '73 ince the beginnings of the University of Guelph's three founding colleges, man y students have benefitted from awards , bursaries and scholarships provided, in part, through the Bequest and Commemorative Gift Programs. Commemorative gifts c an be endowment gIfts In the donor's own name. They can also be lasting symbols of respect and love, to ho nour a deceased relative or frIend, or the donor may w ish to honour someone stili living so that both will enjoy watching the benefit of their action. These gifts, as well, may rende r t ax advantages

to t he do nors In their lifetimes. Most bequests are c arefully planne d In advance with the Univers ity's aware ness and, If re quire d, Its assistance. To achieve this end, John K. Babcock, OAC '54, Director, Department of Alumni Affairs and Development, will have confidentially met with the donors and discussed their w ishes In order to establish conect terms of reference. Whethe r the gift Is a painting, a book prize, a $300 bursary or a research fellowship worth thous ands of dollars, Guelph undergraduates and graduates today enjoy the benefits of a century of giving. This tradition stems from generous-minded alumni, the ir families and friends, and other benefactors with some previous University of Guelph connection who wished to establish something tangible that would las t be yond the ir life time and provide valuable aid to the advancement of higher e ducation. Through their commitment and vision, the Universit y Is strengthened. The following profiles describe Just a few of the bequests and comme morative gifts recentl y re ceived by the University.

A Precious Gift of History

n the arcane world of fine antiques an

provenance, the comprehen足 Isiveimpeccable history of a work of art , is a key factor in determining its market value. The provenance of a magnificent candela brum, recently presented to the University,

establishes it as possibly the most important single artifact in the history of Guelph. The presenta tion was made this spring by Deborah Mott-Trille, her husband, Frank and their daughter, Barbara, OAC '82, in a ceremony in the President's office. President Forster, who accepted the candelabrum on behalf of the University , praised it as "a truly magnificent work of craftsmanship and an outstanding addition to the University's collection of art and archival materials." The Mott-Trille family has long associations with the University. A great-uncle was one of the early OAC graduates, and Barbara, who graduated with her B.Sc.(Agr.) in June, has been accepted into the D.V.M. program. The candel abrum was displayed at the President's House during convocation luncheons for honorary degree recipients and speakers, and was also on display during Alumni Weekend '82 at receptions for members of the Alma Mater Fund Century Club and U.S.A. alumni. It will continue to grace similar occasions. The five-light, four-branch silver

candelabrum, valued at $26,500, bears the arms of the Canada Company and was commissioned in 1837 from Robertson, Edkins and Aston, master silversmiths of Birmingham, to be presented to Charles Bosanquet, first Governor of the Can ada Company on the occasion of his retirement The Canada Company was formed in 1824 and chartered in 1826 when it was granted 1,384,413 acres of crown land, at 3s 6d per acre, plus more than a million acres of what was known as the H uron Tract in the heart of a forest that stretched from Kingston to the Detroit River . The Company's agent, John Galt, arrived here in 1826, founded th e to wn of Galt, walked through the forest, felled the tree which was to mark the site of Guelph, sent his colourful colleague, "Tiger" Dunlop to esta blish Goderich, plus a string of taverns at which Dunlop could slake his legendary thirst, and was on his way home by 1829. Charles Bosanquet, as Governor of the Can ada Company from 1824 to 1837, presided over the most exciting years in the history of Guelph and the candela brum, marking his retirement. stands as a monument to an age of mighty men. The Bos anquets are a distinguished French family of great a ntiquity. David and conld. over

Jean Bosanquet, Huguenots fleeing from religious persecution, came to England in 1686 where they set up as mercers- traders in imported textiles. The family thrived to the extent that, a hundred years later, Samuel Bosanquet became Governor of the Bank of England, Commissioner of the Port of London, and a stalwart loyalist in the common cause against Bonaparte. It was one of Samuel's three sons, Charles, whose candelabrum is now part of the University of Guelph Art Collection. Charles described himsel f as "a disagreeable child whose mother sent him to a profligate, abominable school in Hackney." He grew up to become Governor of the South Sea Company as part of a far ranging success ful career in which his contribution to the development of southern Ontario rates exactly two lines in the family history. Charles carried the Bosanquet name to the north of England where he established the present seat at Rock, Alnwick, Northumberland. His heir, Robert William, born in J 800, took holy orders and became rector of Bolingbroke, Lincolnshire. Robert's eldest son, Charles, was a barrister. His son, Robert Carr, Eton and Trinity, became a professor of classical archeology and director of the British School in Athens. Robert Carr Bosanquet died in J 935. The candelabrum remained at Rock for nearly 150 years until the present head of the family, Charles Ion Carr Bosanquet, a former president of. Newcastle University, England, gave it to his daughter and her family. The Mott-Trilles decided tha t such a valua ble and historical work should have an ap propriate institutional home where it could be maintained on public display. After

consultation with Charles Bosanquet, who concurred with their intentions, they presented the candelabrum to the University. Phillips Wa rd-Price Ltd., of Toronto, the international fine a rt auction house which appraised the candelabrum , described it as a "William IV hallmarked silver five-light, four-branch , 63 cm candelabrum raised on a square-shaped base bearing the coat of anns of the Canada Company and inscribed: Present ed to Charles Bosanquet, Esq., by th e Directors of th e Canada Company, a tribute of Esteem from his late colleagues in testimony of their strong sense of the ability and kindness with which he

Born in Norfolk County of Waterford, Ontario, in 191 2, Dr. Misen er has esta blish ed a thriving practice, in Chicago, III. , and has an active interest in many official groups related to the veterinary profession as an executive, trustee or cha irman. Grant, who ha s also ma intained membership in several service clubs, was recognized by his peers when he was selected to receive both the Illinois S tate Veterin a ry Medical Association Service

Award for Meritous Service and thc American Veterinary Medical Outstanding Member Award. He holds life memberships in the Chicago Veterinary Medical Associ a tion , the Illinois Veterinary Medical Association and, of course, in the ove Alumni Association, the organization that named him ove Distinguished Alumnus for 1979.

An active supporter of the University's Alma Mater Fund since its inception , Grant is president of the Friends of University of Guelph fnc. , and has been since the group was established in 1976. As well , he has been a leading figure in many alumni-sponsored acti,vities in Canada and the U.S .A. Classmates, colleagues and friends

alike, will agree that it is typical of Grant that, through his gift, he has acted in such a practical manner to benefit his Alma Mater and future graduates of the DVM program at the OVC, the B.Sc. (Agr.) program at the OAC, and the B.A .Sc. program at FACS . The University of Guelph is grateful for Dr. Misener's steady involvement and generous support. 0

The Murby Re search Grant in Poultry Science hrough the foresight and generosity of people like James Stares Murby, OAC '35, the University of Guelph is able to support vital research that would otherwise bc neglected 'due to current economic restraints. In 1980, Jim approved the terms of rcference to establish the Murby Research Grant in Poultry Science. The owner and president of King Cole Ducks Ltd., near Aurora, Ontario, he will provide approximately $5,000 annually. Originally from Kerwood , Ontario , Jim moved his young family to the village of Aurora in 1947 . There he began the long and hard work of esta blishing his product and gaining a worthy share of the duck market over the next 20 years. There was a

brief set-back in the early '60s when new federal inspection regulations were added to provincial regulations. For the next few years, day to day operations had to work around the expensive changes that had to be made to meet the new regulations. Today, he and his wife, Margaret, and their family of four continue to work on the family farm, helping to realise Jim's long-range goal: to obtain one-third of the duck market. King Col e Ducks' biggest competition is, of course , from the U.S.A., but there are also healthy Canadian enterprizes which share the customers . Even so, the Murby family has built surely and well as their bu siness pursues a pace of steady expansion

with about a 5 per cent increase in production each year. The first M urby Research Grant, which stems directly from Jim 's business acumen and generosity, was awarded to Rod Williamson, B.Sc.(Agr.) '78, who was contd. over

Research supplies have also been covered in the terms of the M urby Research Grant and so, in 1981, a much needed micro-computer was purchased by the University to aid researchers in the compilation and evaluation of their data.

The Murby Research Grant in Poultry Science was designed to be tenable with other awards or projects, and individuails previously supported may be considered for additional support in subsequent years. Each recipient or project, however, is selected and approved at the discretion of the chairman of the Department of Animal and Poultry Science and the co-ordinator of the Poultry Research Program.

Grant recipients report, annually , with a summary of the disposition of funds and the results of the particular research project which received aid. By receiving a copy of this summary , Jim and his family share the immediate benefits which their sponsorship has created . The University is indebted to the Murbys for their valuable contribution to the field of poultry research. 0

The Ele anor M. Gartshore Scholarship he creation of the $50,000 Eleanor M.

T Gartshore Memorial fund for sheep

research is a significant landmark for the Ontario sheep industry. Eleanor Gartshore, wife of John Gartshore, OAC '37, died in November, 1980, after losing a long battle with cancer. In her youth, Eleanor had ambitions to become a veterinarian and developed a strong empathy with her many pets. When she married John, and moved to Auchiburn farm, near Dundas, she began what was to be a successful sheep breeding career. In 1961, Eleanor surprised more experienced breeders by winning first prize for champion ewe at the Royal Agricultural Winter fair. It was the beginning of her show ring successes that have never been equalled by any other beginner sheep prod ucer. In April, 1962, Eleanor imported the first Polled Dorset sheep to be introduced into Canada. A ram and two ewes from North Carolina, U.S.A., were the foundation for a flock that brought together the finest of American bloodlines , enhanced later by Australian imports. Tnitially cautious over the Dorset breed, other producers were witness to the Gartshore experiment and were rapidly impressed by the vitality and increased productivity which the Polled Dorsets contributed to Canadian commercial flocks. Over the years, the Gartshore's Auchinburn flock won nearly every trophy that the Royal Agricultural Winter fair could bestow on a sheep breeder, and a good number of those awards were won many times over. In 1968, five Gartshore sheep \\'on Supreme Champion flock over all breeds in Toronto. It was the first time a Dorset flock had ever won this award. A year later, one of Eleanor's favourite Dorset sires, Williams 845, won the Supreme Champion Ram Lamb over all breeds. As a shepherd in the field and in the show ring, Eleanor excelled above many others. She was almost always able to manage her animal with one hand while big

men around her would sometimes work up a sweat controlling theirs. Making up for her size through concentration, Eleanor invariably made showing her animals look easy. But in her acquisition of the great Austra .lian ram, Valma T 426-72, the "Tasmanian," she reached the highlight of her career, and proved her eye for greatness in livestock. H only for this one breeding coup, Eleanor proved that her talents went beyond those of a skilled shepherd, and went well into the region of a knowledge足 able livestock geneticist. She continued to gain a tremendous wealth of knowledge about sheep breeding and behaviour, and she never hesitated to share it with people in the industry. In this same sharing spirit, Eleanor's mother, Claudia M. Reed, arranged for the $50,000 Eleanor M. Gartshore Memorial Fu nd to be esta blished in order to ea rn income that would fund sheep research. The Eleanor M. Gartshore Memorial fund alleviates some difficulties experienced by the University due to lack

of research funds a nd grants for sheep studies. The University is extremely grateful to the Reed and Gartshore families for a commitment tha t promises to make a strong impact upon the sheep industry. At the same time, it will honour the memory of a talented breeder, energetic promoter, grand show-woman and a rare and tender shepherd. 0

hort ly before his death in 1981 , Gordon W . (Sparky) Innes, OAC '40, a native of Oxford County, Ontario, saw the beginnings of a campaign to establish an entrance schol a rsh ip to the

Univcrsit y of Guelph in his name. Gordon's fr iends , relatives, long-time associates and col leagues from the provi ncia I legisla t ure, dona ted the a ward for a high schoo l studen t from Oxford County entering a ny Uni versity of Guelph program . In excess of $11,000 was raised, which will provide for a n ann ual scholarship of at least $1,000 . A successful a nd promin ent Hols tein breed er, Gordon was recognized as a n intern a tional judge of Hol stein catt le.

C. Ernest Woolverton 1879 - 1934

Condensed and reprod uced here through the courtesy of Nick Van Vleit, OAC '65, ed itor, this article was fi rst published in the June/July 1982 issue of The Ontario Association of Landscape Architects' quarterly Review

By P leasance Crawford hen he was 30 years old, and working hard to build an Ontario career in landscape architecture in Grimsby, C. Ernest Woolverton, an OAC '01 Landscape Gardening grad, wrote to the Weiland Telegraph. challenging the citizens of Weiland to make their town realize its full potential as a great industrial centre. He urged them to secure foresighted zoning plans, attractive housing for working cl.ass families, and a system of parks centred on the river and canal. His three-column front-page article ran on December 28 , 1909, five days before the municipal ejection in which a bylaw to establish Welland's first Board of Parks Commissioners won by a narrow margin with a vote of 323 to 295. The Telegraph's editors presented landscape architect Woolverton and his work to their readers as "too well-known to require explanatory comment here," but they nevertheless listed 12 major public and private landscape projects representative of "many more" on which he had worked. C. Ernest's advertisements-as landscape architect, landscape designer, and landscape gardener-appear at least 45 times between 1902 and 1914 in the Canadian Horticulturist the long-lived

(1878-1933) Canadian horticultural and landscaping periodical of its day. While still in his 20s, he wrote three articles for the Canadian Horticulturist and received recognition in its pages three times. A May 1910 editorial referred to him as "the well-known Ii\ndscape architect" and declared that his Weiland Telegraph article was "worthy of reproduction in the local papers of many other towns and cities." C. Ernest, a native Ontarian, was trying, very early in the 20th century, to bring the full scope of his chosen profession before the people of this province. Yet, after 1914, the Canadian Horticulturist made no further mention of him. Was he killed in the First World War? Was he eclipsed by Frederick Todd, the Dunington-Grubbs, and others ? C. Ernest came from an impressive line of agriculturists , horticulturists, and nurserymen. The first to move to Upper Canada was his great-great-grandfather, Jonathan Woolverton (1754-1831), who brought his young family from New Jersey, U.S.A., to The Forty, as Grimsby was called, in 1798, after purchasing a 400-acre farm. That farm passed in turn to Ernest's great-grandfather, Dennis Woolverton (1790-1857). A large share of it then

passed to his grandfather, Charles Edward Woolverton (1820-1900); next, to bis father, Linus Woolverton (1846-1914); and finally, to C. Ernest himself. The environment in which Ernest, as his family called him, grew up might well have stimulated an interest in ornamental horticulture and landscape architecture. His grandfather kept up with developments in fruitgrowing until his death at 80 in 1900. His mother, who died around 1900, pa in ted wa tercolou rs. His father, as editor of the Canadian Horti culturist. read more than two dozen American and English horticultural, agricultural, and scientific periodicals, reviewed numerous books on horticulture, gardening, and landscaping, wrote a series of articles on landscape design, and promoted the horticultural society and city-beautiful movements. He carried on an extensive correspondence that included Warren H. Manning, one of the founders of the American Society of Landscape Architects. In J 898 Ernest entered the two-year Horticulture program then under the direction of Professor H.L. Hutt at the Ontario Agricultural College and Experimental Farm in Guelph. Although the subject was covered in lectures, the College did not establish a program specifically in Landscape Gardening, with Hutt as its first Director, until 1908. Landscape gardening and the ornamental aspects of horticulture must have been among Ernest 's primary interests at the OAC. He sent an a rticle on "The Home and its Environment" from Guelph to the Canadian Horticult urist in 1900.

Work and Marriage In J901 Ernest married Mary Ethel Blair, a Grimsby schoolmate. Following their wedding trip they went to Rochester where, for a short time, Ernest may have worked for Ellwanger's and Barry's Mount Hope Nurseries. By 1902 they were back in Grimsby living in the "old homestead," so-named after 1891 when Linus, Ernest's father, built a Queen Anne-style house at Maplehurst large enough to house the Canadian Horticulturist's editorial office, the fruit farm office, and the family. (The Queen Anne-style house still stands on Regional Road 81.) In June 1902, the first of Ernest's and Mary Ethel's four da ughters was born, and the first of Ernest's many ads in the Canadian Horticulturist appeared. For the first few years, Ernest seems to have preferred the terms landscape gardener and landscape designer. Later he used landscape architect more frequently. The terms, along with landscape engineer

which he did not use, were considered more or less interchangeable, the emphasis being a matter of personal preference. In his ads, he appears to have been instructing prospectivc clients on what services they could expect from him and, at the same time, working out in his own mind what services he was able, or wanted, to provide. His spring 1906 ad mentioned "drawings made to a scale, so that any gardener may carry them out," yet 1910 ads said he "will supcrintend the work of gardeners in ca;Tying out his plans, where such service is needed," and a September 1911 ad mentioncd that he "furnishes gardeners to carry out his plans." Once, in 1906, hc offered "hardy plants for old-fashioned gardens," "hardy perennials," and "eight beautiful irises" for sale; but 19)0 ads specified that although he gave "lists of trees, plants, and shrubs for planting" he had "no personal interest in the sale of any of these;" and a March 1914 ad said simply "no stock for sale."

From the beginning, Woolverton mentioned park design in many of his ads. The Boston experienoe, coming at a time when Ontario legislators were passing a parks commission act to facilitate the levying of municipal taxes to support local parks, may have helped expand his interests to parks-system planning and other aspects of large-scale design. These interests, expressed best in the Weiland Telegraph article, appear to have been stymied. The Barrie, Ontario, Markets and Parks Commission minutes of May 4, 1908, recorded a motion "that M r: C. Ernest Woolverton, Landscape Gardener, be engaged to come and report on putting Queen's Park into shape after ascertaining what his fees would be for same." A December IS, 1908, entry listed an expenditure for "Landscape Gardener -$100." Woolverton consulted several times with George H. Miller, a friend from the Manning office, and the two drew up a proposal.

however, the kind of businessman his father or grandfather had been. Eventually he turned to selling off the farm little by little. In 1926 or 1927, in financial difficulties, he sold the remaining property and moved the family to Hamilton. His daughter , who still owns several of his drawings, recalls that during this period he "spent much time in developing a new technique in pen and ink work." In 1927 he exhibited three works-Enchantment, Canadian Woods, and Land of the Maple-in the Annual Exhibition of Hamilton Artists held at Hamilton's Municipal Art GalJery.

Salary of $10 Per Week

The March 1, 1909, minutes recorded simply that "Documents were presented and read from Ernest Woolverton re plans and report for improvement for Queen's Park." The Canadian Horticulturist described it in glowing terms in September 1909, but the proposal was apparently never carried out. If Woolverton's lengthy article in the Weiland Telegraph was based on a report prepared under contract from town officials, this was not documented in Weiland town council minutes. He may have written voluntarily, both because he believed in planning and parks commissions and because he hoped the commission-to-be would hire him to carry out his parks system proposals. Instead, one of the new Commission 's first acts was to award Brown Brothers Nursery a $250 contract based on its plan for Merritt Park; and Merritt Park, to this day, remains an isolated strip of greenspace.

plan. The Woolvertons, with their youngest daughter, moved to Sarnia. Minutes of the Sarnia Board recorded tha t Ernest received an honorarium of $50 in November 1928 for having drawn up a number of landscape plans for two of the parks (probably Russell Street and Elgin Parks). From January to August 1929, he was under contract to the Board, ' receiving a total of $185 for drawing up landscape plans for Elgin Park. Sometime before the family left Sarnia in June of 1932, his daughter recalls, he "did the grounds of a lovely home on the St. Clair River near Corunna" for a Mr. Good, the then President of Supertest, London. From Sarnia the Woolvertons returned to Hamilton and lived at 19 Victoria Avenue North. Charles Ernest Woolverton was listed at tha t address in the city directory as a landscape gardener, with no employer given. He spent the summer of 1933 in Grimsby, and appeared to friends there to be in good health, but died in Hamilton the following January. How should we assess the products of his career') Do we need to try? The most important thing about Charles Ernest Woolverton, landscape architect, is neither the amount nor the quality of his work, which we can't judge fairly unless we find more examples of it, but the fact that the details of his early career help fill in a period in the history of the landscape architectural profession in Ontario about which we know very little. More surprises-in periodicals, newspapers, city minutes, and office ledgers-are surely there to be discovered. It is time that we move forward to catch up with our past. D

In the fall and early winter of 1907, Woolverton went to Boston to work in the officc of Warren H . Manning. This office, busy with projects all over the eastern U.S .A., had both a sizable permanent staff, which included C harles A. Platt at a salary of $11 5 per month, and a supplementary staff of temporaries like Ernest, who received $ J0 per week. Manning himself was often away meeting clients, producing on-the-spot design proposals. While Ernest was with the office he took part in projects such as the planning of parks systems for Wilkes-Barre and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the design of model housing for workmen at the Cleveland Cliffs I ron Mining C ompany in Munising, M ichigan, and the reclamation of Back Bay in Boston. Giving his Boston address, he continued hi s Canadian Horticulturist ads throughout the winter. He was back in Grimsby in time to run a series of ads in the spring of 1908. Woolverton frequently mentioned home grounds in his ads and articles. According to the Weiland Telegraph . he prepared plans for the James Ryrie estate, Oakville; the Stanley Mills estate, Hamilton; the H ugh M cSlov estate, St. Catharines, and others, and superintended landscape construction on the Cyrus McCormick estate, Toronto. According to his daughter , he was also a consultant for a nursery firm in Hamilton, possibly the John C onnon Company, Limited, Florists and Nurserymen-one of several nurseries in the area to establish landscape departments and hire landscape designers in the early years of the 20th century.

H is Last Ad Woolverton 's last ad in the Canadian Horticulturist appeared in May 1914. The event of that year which significantly altered his career was neither the war nor competition from Todd and the recently-arrived Dunington-Grubbs, but his father's unexpected death in June. Ernest immediately assumed responsibility for Maplehurst Fruit Farm and the other business interests. The still-young family (the fourth daughter was born in 1913) moved from the "old homestead" to the Queen Anne house in 1915. Ernest was admired not only for his knowledge of landscaping and fruit farming but for his artistic and musical talent. He was not,

Back to the Draw ing Board The spring of 1928 brought an opportunity for Woo.i.verton to return to landscape work. The Sarnia, Ontario, Board of Park Management, through the Sarnia Horticultural Society, advertised for a landscape gardener to make a survey of Russell Street Park and present a planting

The

POS Genius By Mary Cocivera

he compact electronic cash register in your local fast food outlet has all but eliminated the written order, and rendered the mechanical push-button register obsolete. The clerk behind the counter can revise your order with a touch of the displ ay panel. This electronic cash register is actually a computer terminal, and is one indication of the computer revolution sweeping commercial and institutional food opera tions. For the customer, the cash-registerÂ cum-computer-terminal means speed and convenience. For management, thi s "point-of-sale," or POS , terminal is a means of capturin g accurate, up-to-the-minute information for each individual terminal and for the food outlet. The POS termin a ls keep running tallies of invent ories, sa les, customer preferences and employees' work records . A manager can scan the accumulated information on a video screen or get printed reports such as la bou r usage records, sa les dollar analysis, sales item anal ysis and inventory reports. Manage ment ca n monitor and respond immediately to da ily changes in operations. In some POS systems, the information

ca n be sent via telecommunica tions hookup to a region al or nation a l head office where the chain's sa les can be tallied da il y. To introduce a price change or special promotion, information can be fed into the head office computer for distribution throu ghout the cha in in the sa me day. POS termin als are cropping up in a ll types of resta urants and foodservice facilities, from fast food to gourmet. In the hospitality industry, highl y successful systems are now operating in restaurants with diversified menus and bar service. They are useful in hotels where the guest's tab from restaurants, shops, bars and roomservice can be forwarded in sta ntaneously and retrieved at the front desk, complete when the guest is ready to check out. POS termina ls are being introduced into university foodservice operat ions where there are seve ral geog raphically sepa ra ted outlets for food sa les under a single umbrella management. Purchas ing a POS system requires a thorough evaluation of management information needs, according to Professor John Pa tterson , School of Hotel and Food Admini strat ion , who has served as a consulta nt to foodservice operations in the selection a nd implementation of computer systems. He warns that a foodser vice opera tion often has to revamp proced ures, reports an d forms and develop good manual control sy stems before implementing a POS system. In the future, Professor Pa tterson predicts, restaurant ma nagers will be able to oversee all aspects of the business with a â&#x20AC;˘ POS system , including energy and environment a l control in the restaurant, electronic funds transfers, marketing functions and long-range pl anni ng. In addition , POS systems connected with high-capacity fibre optics telecommunicaÂ

tions networks will provide better, a nd more timely , ma nagement information .

Institutional Applications Computer sys tems have a lso brought changes in foodservice operations in hospitals, universities a nd other institutions. In the not-too-distant fu ture, a computer termina l may be as comm on as a refrigera tor in foodservice facilities. The computer won't scrub the pots or replace the chef-at least not in the foreseea ble future. It will, however, become indispensible in collect in g, storing and a na lyzing comprehensive information on menu s, inventory, food a nd labour costs, nutritional content of foods and standardi zed recipes. Although computer applications have been used in insti tu tiona I foodservice facilities for more th a n a decade, the field is relatively undeveloped in Canada, according to Professor Eli za beth Upton , Schoo l of Hotel a nd Food Administration. Thi s will change in the next few years, she predicts , becau se the price of computer applicati ons continues to dro p. Mini- a nd micro-units with greatly expanded capacities are being developed, and there is a variety of "off-the-sheJr' or "turnkey" dietar y systems becoming ava ilable. As well , foodservice operations are feeling the innation crunch with sky-rocketing food costs. A computer sys tem may represent the most effective means of reducing food costs over the long run. A decade ago, implementing a dietary computer system meant cu stomizing a computer program from the ground up. Today, there are ma ny types of systems ava ilable, ranging from a turnkey system to a turnkey system with modifications to a completely customized system. The food service computer system could

be a se lf-cont ained unit in the food scrvice depa rtment or a part of a larger co mputer serving the entire hospital or institution. Mini- and micro-processors now offer the samc ca[lability in a countertop ullit th a t was previously available only in much large r sys tems. Foodservice managers a nd administrative dietitians from across Ca nada a t tended a com pu ter assisted foodservice man agement workshop at the University of Guelph last summer to [lrepare for the antici[lated move toward dietary complclter systems. The workshop was sponsored by the School of Hotel and Food Administration, th e Canadian Dietet ic Association and the Canadian Organiz.ation for the Advancement of Co m[luters in Health (COAC H). Th e 60 delegates heard abo ut the pote ntials- and the pitfalls- of dietar y computer systems from experienced users, suppliers and independent computer consultants. A highlight of the workshop was "hands-on" ex perience with three commercially available dietar y sys tem s.

What Computers Can Do All computer systems have prodigious mcmory capaciti es , perfo rm lightning-quick calculations, and can present stored informa tion in countless ways. Rearr anged in different categories, this information is in va luabl e for foodservice mana gers . If the [lrice of walnuts skyrockets, for instance, they could retrieve all reci pes co ntaining walnuts and eliminate the nuts or substitute peanuts or filberts for the walnuts. In planning meals for people with food allergies, they might want to identify recipes that contain nuts , chocol ate, dairy products or eggs. To plan a summer menu, they could scan recipes for cold entrees, fruit desserts, or main-dish sa lads . If they want to offer a luncheon special , they might choose from entrees costing less than 75 cents a serving. For any of the standardized recipes in the file, the computer ca lculates the per-serving food and la bou r cost, based 011 today's prices. Many computer systems also provide a nutrient analysis for each menu item. In a hospital, the dietary system analyzes patient menu choices each day and calculates ho w mu ch of each item mu st be [lrepared . It will provide the recipe for beef stroganoff, for example, adjusted to the 157 or 423 se rvings required for that day . The potential for sa vings through this precise adjustment and careful portion control is enormous. In some hospitals, the computer system keeps nutritional profiles on pa tients and id entifi es patients who are not making nutritionally sou nd food se lections . By reduc in g the lead time on menus, a

computeri7.ed system givcs the foodservi ce ma nage r more flexibility in food purchasing and the op portunity to take advantage of unexpected .Iower prices or seasonal specials. This saving on food purchases could well compensate for the la rge ca pi tal investment in a mat ter of months.

What Co m puters Cannot Do Despite its enormous memory and whiz-bang calculation speed , the computer is not an 'omniscient probl em solv er. It merely identifi es prob lems that manage足 ment must so lve. A computer col.lccts and processes inform ation. By providing timely, comprehensive data, the co mputer helps a foodser vice man ager make more defensib le decisio ns. "Com puters will never replace managers," Professo r Upton claims, "because the computer deals with the purely objective whil e, in the real world, issues a nd problems are seldom clearcut. " Intui tion , or "execu tive judgement," is vit al in weighing th e subjective element s of any management decision. A computer cannot impose impeccable organization onto a foodservice operation that is in disarray. A sure-fire roa d to chaos is to computerize a sloppy manual system.

Ide ntifying Needs The management informatio n needs of a 125 -bed co nval escent hom e, a l,OOO-bed teac hing hospital and an industria l catering business are a ll different a nd there are co mputer sys tems suitable for each type of operat ion . Wh at kind of information is neededry How fast? By whom? In what form? Ho w should that information interface with other related functions like purchasing or patient care'? ". eeds ri se to the surface through frustration, " according to Professor Upton. " You find yourself thinking that there must be better ways to do thing s." Not all foodservice operations require a computer. Often a manager will reorganize procedures to pre pare for implem entation of a computer system, only to di scover that improved manual organization is enough to streamline the operation and bring about the desired improvement in efficiency.

rccognile th at computeri zat ion is an opportunity to upgrade their skills. "1\ co mpu ter sy:; tem should not be introdu ced for the purpose of reducing person nel cos ts, " con ten ds Professor U plon, " but to improve se rvi ce. A good compu ,ter sys tem will replace hours in the day and lead to a reorga ni zat ion of jobs within the department." Managers often find their priorities change as th eir employees are freed from tedi ous tim e-con su ming tasks and can concentr a te on longer-range problems. Ultimat ely th e dep a rtment provides better service a nd ac hieves bet ter internal co ntrol. Employees will adjust more rea dily if they recog ni ze that a computer can do so me things far better than the human mind . By the sa me token, however, the human mind can perform some types of tasks better than the computer. Ma nagement decision-making is a case in point . Menu planning is a nother example. Originall y, computers were see n as great aid s in menu pla nning, but experience has demonstrated that, in most foodservice operations, menu planning is one of the least tim e-consuming tasks. Most utili ze a cyclical menu in which the same mea l appears eve ry severa l weeks. Once the entire cyclc is planned, the menu can be used for mon t hs . Planning menus requires bal a ncing of a multitude of different food attributes , including colour, taste, smell , texture and nutrition a l content. All [loss ible va riations in all the attributes for each fo od item co uld be programm ed, but thi s would be a n extremely time-consuming a nd expensive use of th e computer . A fo odservice manager, on the other ha nd, IS skilled at weighing these many characteristics of fo od. Much as we "talk" to computer s and treat them as coll ea gu es, they are still nothing more than big dumb machines. Until electronic wizardry comes up with a thinking, feeling computer, man agers will continue to be indispensible in foodservice facilities. 0

The Computer JPeople Interface Management insecurity, a nd employees' fear of being repl aced , ca n hinder successful integ rati on of a computer into a foodservice operation . "The employees adopt the attitude of th e manager ," explains Professor Upton . "A manager who is convinced the sys tem will work will inspire co nfidence, even during the first few months of inevitable debu gging. " Many em ployees will

A Consummate

Student • • • By Dr. John P. Phillips. y acquaintance with Anne-Frances Miller, CBS '82, dates from her first arrival at the University of Guelph, and ranges from that of classroom instructor to academic counsellor to personal advisor. In organizing my thoughts about Anne-Frances, I find myself becoming sensitive to the over-use of superlatives. The blame for that rests with her, and I let her record of accomplishment and participation validate the accuracy of my judgements.

rom the moment of her arrival at the University, it was clear that Anne-Frances Miller was a consummate student. She brought with her an exceptionally good background and, by the end of her first year, it was clear to me that she already surpassed most of her peers in intellectual maturity. She was widely read, both in science and otherwise, and was critical in the true academic sense, to a degree unattained by many graduate students. As a student in my 4th year course in Developmental Genetics, she had actually anticipated the course by reading most of the main textbook the preceding summer. Consequently, she moved beyond the normal coverage of the cOUrse and J held many stimulating and delightful discussions with her in which she was an equal and effective contributor. Her enthusiasm for learning, her zeal for problem solving and her infectious vitality left a lasting impression on me as well as on her classmates, and I will long remember her class as one of my most rewarding and satisfying teaching experiences at the University . Discussions with other faculty confirm that my experiences with her as a student are not unique. I have greilt expectations for her

academic future. She has been offered acceptance at numerou s graduate schools in Canada and the U.S.A . It is my under standing that she has accepted a place in the Department of Chemistry at Yale University and has been awarded the Pfizer Fellowship for four years of study. This was due in no small part to her standing in the Graduate Record Examination: 96 per cent Verba l Skills, 99 per cent Quantitative, 98 per cent Analytical, 99 per cent Advanced Biology. This is most impressive, and reflects not only (but primarily) on her abilities, but on the quality of her university training. Anne-Frances' academic standing is clearly not the limit of her potential. She has, on several occasions, indicated that she recognizes that her extensive participation in non-academic affairs with the University has limited her cumulative academic performance to 85 per cent. She frequently sought my counsel on this matter and always chose, with my humble blessing, to continue the route of active participation. In these activities, as in everything else, her participation went beyond mere attendance. She clearly has contributed

•••

substantially to everything in which she chose to participate, from drama , to intramural sports, to student gove rnment , to student residence. During her tenure at Guelph she 'las, more than any other student I've known, taken full advantage of, and contributed to, the whole University. It should be no surprise that Anne- Frances ' re marka ble university record of accomplishment and participation is a reflection of her character and personality as well as her intellect. To sa y that she exudes vitality is an under statement To her, academic and intellectual pursuits a re satisfying, and indeed proper, only if taken in the context of a full and vigorous soci al life. O ne would be hard pressed to find many students at the University who are less of an "egghead" or "bookworm" than Anne- Frances. It simply is not her nature to hide behind, or to rest upon , her academic achievements for a sense of security or accomplishment. Perhaps most important is the se nse of importance and excitement she imparts to her colleagues in her various activities. Her zeal and enthusia sm are very contagious , and her presence in a group is always felt. I can think of no student, in my eight years at the University, who more accurately and consummately reflects the standards of academic achievement a nd university participation , to which the W .e. Winegard Medal is dedica ted , than Anne-Frances Miller . 0

Arts AluDloi Jury Show One oj the three "Best in Show" artists, Barry Hodgson. one of the University's internal auditors, with juror Lynn Barbeau, Arts '74. In the background is Barry 's winning "King Srreet."

By Judy Carson, Arts '75. "Art for art's sake" was not the motivating force behind the College of Arts Alumni Association's decision to organize the very successful art show, Dimensions '82, which opened during Alumni Weekend '82. Organizers hoped to increase the scholarship fund for Arts students from the sale of the work. To this end, the Association had limited success. Wendy Buykes' graphite drawing of a polar bear caught the eye of several people who attended the show. The major objectives for the show were to bring Arts alumni together while providing a high profile for the College. The overwhelming response from alumni artists for this initial venture was very gratifying to organizers. Over 60 works, including three sculptures, were submitted. To cover expenses, organizers found it necessary to charge a $10 entry fee. This fee entitled alumni artists to enter up to three works within specified size rcstructions. All entries were hung in the Faculty Club for the week-long duration of the show. For a first attempt, the show was exception ally weJl organized on the part of a sIllall group of dedicated alumni. The art

show committee is already planning for next year, with help from gallery experts. Dimensions '83 will be a pre-juried show, and it is anticipated that this new approach will attrac t an even wider response than Dimensions '82. Dimensions '82 jury members, Lynn Barbeau , '74, curator, Education and Extension, at the Macdonald Stewart Art Centre in Guelph, a rtist Ken Danby and Stephen Wm. Lewis, art consultant for the Wellington County Board of Education, were genuinely impressed by the entries. Their decisions for the three "Best in Show" a nd three "Honourable Mention" awards were determined by several factors. The jurors eliminated pieces that see med, to them, as derivative of styles of well-known innovators such as Picasso, Matisse, Wyeth, Colville or others. They looked for originality, a special style or technique, developed by the artists. Also, they looked for techniCally well executed work, displaying a knowledge of fundamentals, as well. as creative inspiration. Finally, from the work left after their critical sorting out, the jurors took a hard look at composition, colour, originality, technical execution and, certainly, their

decisions caJled on their individu a l aesthetic taste. Their choices covered a wide range of styles and subject ma tter . "Best in Show" a wards went to Annette (Christmas) Dyon, '76, for her large oil-on-canvas, titled " Dia logue," depicting a white steer staring directly at the viewer through a fence. The impression it gives makes the viewer quite happy that the fence is there. Thi s magnificant beast was next to a quiet landscape, "Country Landscape #4," a small monoprint serigra ph by Margaret Peter, '74. This "Best in Show" work is a Canadian scene which you would never tire of looking at. The third "Best in Show" was a n abstract by U niversi ty internal auditor Barry Hodgson , in ink, pastel and tempera. Titled " King Street" , it is an interesting work that either had people scratching their heads in puzzlement or drinking in the lines and colour. Although sev eral viewers were very interested in these winners, the works went home with their creators at the close of the show . An Honoura ble Mention a ward went to Annette Dyon for a large oil on canvas depicting a pair of proud work horses and their driver at a pulling contest. The sa me style and scale used in this painting, titled "Working Class," was repeated in her third entry, "One of Jack's Cows," which has another large bovine as its subject. An untitled beau tifully executed geometric acrylic and oil pastel, by Deborah Shelton, '72, received an " Honourable Mention" award as did a very unusual and technically exciting work by Michael Hayes , '78, in ink, chalk and plaster on pa per, titled "Body Talk." The entries were so varied that it is beyond the space available here to do them justice. The official opening of the show, by Dean David Murray, took place in the Fac ulty Club on Friday night of Alumni Weekend following the College of Arts dinner. Lynn Barbeau a nd Stephen Wm. Lewis attended both, however, Ken Danby was unable to join the festivities. Many ot the people present at the opening were alumni of other colleges. They were impressed by the show and interested in hearing about current Arts programs, sin ce so me of the programs were not in existence when these graduates attended Guelph. A large contingent of exhibiting artists and friends was also in attendance. In fact, they closed the evening after the weary organizers, who had been up hanging the show, until the small hours the prev io us night, had raised a final glass and headed home. Congratulations to Julie (RuÂŁsell) Thur, '78, immediate past president of the College of Arts Alumni Associa tion, and all those who participated in Dimensions '82 . 0

Not enough you say') How about coaching the U. of G. women's cross-country team to a second place finish in the 1980 Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union, and a gold medal in the individual standings. Or producing a series of wrestlers that have dominated the conference for the last three years in Ontario. Coming to the University of Guelph in 1965 from Ithaca College in upstate ew York, Londo has led the wrestling Gryphons to nine OUAA titles. W.F. "Bill" Mitchell, OAC '38, Director of Athletics at the time, decided Guelph needed a full-time wrestling coach and assistant footbaU coach. Tom Jones, OAC M.Sc. '66, a grad student from the Ithaca area, heard about this and related it to Londo who was just coming off a wrestling career where he was undefeated in dual meets and was a national semifinalist in the U.S.A. The rest is history. In 1966, his second year, Londo coached the Gryphons to an OUAA title by the margin of a single point. "That was one of the real highlights," said Londo. It went down to the final match, the last bout, and we won to defeat Western by just a poi n t. I t was a real lift. Needless to say, the highlights were not limited to 1966. Eight more OUAA titles were on their way. In 198 1 when the CIAU national title was awarded to a school as well as individuals, Guelph was the first winner and repeated the honour last March. Of course, coaching alone doesn't win titles. Athletes do, and names such as Nick Schori, OVC '68, Al Hayward, OAC '6SA and '69, and Ed Millard, CBS '70, from the earlier days and Peter Symons, CBS '70, Richard Deschatelets, Arts '80, and Mike

He definitely does not have some of the characteristics that are associated with some of this era's successful coaches. But the record of Orlondo "Londo" Iacovelli, the head wrestling coach at the University of Guelph, ranks ahead of some of today's louder and higher profile sporting mentors such as Billy Martin, Don Cherry and the like. Wrestling coach, cross country coach and Supervisor of Men's Intercollegiate Athletics, Londo has led the wrestling Gryphons to nine Ontario University Athletics Association titles-the last two national titles. He coached the Canadian team in the 1976 Olympics and led the national grapplers in three world championships.

Have you found a dusty instrument you once played and now don't know what to do with it? What about that instrument stand ing over in the corner of the family room, or the instrument that has been hiding under a bed for the last decade or so? We have a good home for these instruments. You have, no doubt, read

Kappel , OAC ' 78, from later day s, come up when discussing the greats who wore Gryphon colours. When asked, Londo pondered the question of who were the greats and settled for Ed illard and Richard Deschatelets. wrestlers in the heavier weight classes. "Ed was a different type, with sheer brute strength and a strong mentality. Richard was also strong mentally, but possessed a great awareness of where his opponent was at all times." Last August, Londo was performing his third stint as the Canadian coach at the world championships in Edmonton, Alta. On opening day Deschatelets upset the defending world champion from the Soviet Union. That set the tone for the Canadian wrestlers, who had their best finish ever and gained a silver medal which they had never managed to win before. Londo claims that a great deal of his success at Guelph is due to the institution itself. "Guelph made a committment to wrestling by hiring a full-time coach. We have one of the best facilities in the country, and my total involvement in the sport helps us. We recruit, and my involvement in the national and provincia l programs keeps me familiar with the talent and the talent becomes familiar with me." Londo, his wife H elen, and their family have resided in Guelph for 17 years. If the next 17 see Londo on campus and still coaching, the wrestling Gryphons' successes will remain a part of the U niversity of G uelph athletic scene. D

Letters to

the Editor

Pesticides Dear Derek: Knowing Freeman McEwen as well as I do, and acknowledging his advocacy stand regarding pesticides, I still ex pected a reasonably balanced article on "Pests, Pesticides and People" in your summer issue of Guelph Alumnus. For the most part that is what I read, but I was disappointed in several areas. I, Freeman did not mention the current problems associated with pesticides which were registered based on labora tory data now known to have been falsified. 2. Also, he did not seriously address the issue of long-term carcinogenic effects, beyond mentioning them as a possibility in humans. There is some question whether the mouse, or rat, is the best model for predicting such effects in humans. 3. Perhaps the section that bothered me most was the statement , "In th e case of DDT, no evidence was even presented to show that this storage of DDT was harmful in any way." While technically correct, this statement ignores the rea sons why, "The fa ct it was there, though, worried some people. " Those worries were based on the knowledge that effects are likely to be mamfested in mammalian organisms upon mobili zation of the adipose tissue . Thus, in humans, another stressing agent, e.g. sickness, mental anxiety , etc., which resulted in rapid weight loss, would be suspect before any stored toxic chemical in the case of pathology or biochemical changes. To ignore the wealth of informa tion, on squirrel monkeys, Rhesus mon keys and even humans, that show DDT and its metabolities do cause physiolog ical changes is to present a biased propesticide case. While the philosophic

and economic arguments present ed are IVorthy of consideration, so too are the realities of pesticide abuse and over use. When, and If, we ever truly achieve integrated pest management, where pes ticides are used not as preventive or pre-programmed measures but as a weapon in an arsenal to be used only where and when necessary, then I, for one, will rest easier. Anyone who has witnessed the aerial application of toxic chemicals and knows the problems of aerosol formati on and long-distance drift, as I am sure Freeman does, must at times have to lecture with "tongue in-cheek" regarding th e necessity for such treatment in agricultural systems. I feel that the pointing out of the probable impact of the use of these chemicals on species, ecosystems, and even man himself, was one of the m ost significant accomplishments of wildlife research. Rather than advocate th e "es sential role of pesticides ," we must continue to challenge and question the advisability of the pervasive use of such chemicals in our food industry . Sincerely. Frederick F. Gilbert, OAC Ph .D. '68, Director, Wildlife Biology, Washington State University, Pullman, Wash. 99164. USA.

Dear Derek : Thank you for the opportunity of re sponding to Dr. Gilbert's criticisms of "Pests, Pesticides and People. " [ am glad that he considered the article "rea sonably balanced." Dr. Gilbert raises three issues which he did not feel were addressed adequately and I will comment on these. The first deals with the "IBT data." This has been a very serious ma tter since the company in question provided a significant amount of toxicological data used in the review process prior to the registration of pesticides. As Dr. Gilbert knows, the tests conducted by that company have all been reviewed and those on which the original laboratory data were not re tained hav e been declared invalid and, where they were critical tests, replace ment studies have been completed or are being done. Although almost 100 pesti cides had data provided by that compa ny, most of these pesticides had been tested by other companies as well and their data was val id. The revi ew of the pes ticides in question has required a lot

of additional tests and , for the most part, these tests have tended to confirm the adequacy of the testing process. Dr. Gilbert 's second issue refers to "long-term carcinogenic effects," but his comments suggest, as did mine, that we know very little about the causes of cancers or th e degree to whic~ they are specific to a species or a tiss ue. While we may worry about pesticides, or al most anything else as causative, we have little data and, certainly with pesticides now used, no real evidence tha t they cause cancer. The third issue raised by Dr. Gilb ert is that I cut through all the worries, suppositions and theories about DDT and merely stated the fact that "no evidence was ever presented to show that the storage of DDT (in man) was harm ful in any wa y." To my knowledge ha rmful effect s on the mobilization of DDT during excess ive weight loss has been shown in only one species of bird and, perhaps, in bats-and the effects of DDT and /or metabolites on physiologi cal processes have been minor and, quite frequently, beneficial. The health concerns about DDT, so dramatically presented in the I 960s, ha ve not ma teria Iized in those cou n tries where it is stiU used extensively. The only effect of 40 years of DDT use in human habitations in many countries ha s been improved health becau se of the control of insects that tra nsmit ma laria and other diseases. Like Fred, I too believe pesticides should be used only when and where they a re needed. Pes ticides a re toxic, a nd to use them needlessly is fooli sh. The point of "Pests, Pesticides and Peo ple" was not that pesticides are good. It was that pesticides are needed and that their proper use helps en sure a safe and bountiful harvest-this without signifi cant detrimental effects.

The Arboretum Shelter

A CODlme morative Gift

Captain John Playford Hales,OAC'15.

Some commemorative projects take the form of a physical construction. Such is the case of the Arbo retum Centre shel ter, erected in 1982, that is dedicated to the memory of Captain John Pla yford Ha les, OAC '15, by his sis ter, Kate (Hales) McKay, Mac '110.

Captain Hales was born in 189 3, attended the Macdonald Consolidat ed School, the Guelph Collegiate Voca tional Institute a nd graduated from the OAC with what was la ter designated as a B.S.A. degree. John joined the Royal Air Force but, once in England, was attached to the Royal Navy Air Corps. In August 1918, at the age of 25, Captain Hales was killed when he was shot down by enemy ground fire over the Somme. Kate Hales was also born and edu cated in Guelph and, following gradua tion from the Macdonald Institute , she attended the University of Chicago for a course in nutrition. Sh e married Gordon

McKay in 1914 an d, after his death in 1933, embarked upon a career teaching Home Economics at the Central Techni cal School in Toronto . With a respect a ble 22 years of service in education there, Kate was lauded as an "ami able person," " a wonderful teacher" and "a good friend of the student body, " when she retired in 1956. The plan to honour the memory of her brother stood firm despite Kate's death in 1980. The lasting resul ts of her commemora tive wish are now found in the cheerful shelt er, designed by Mo riyama and Teshima, Architects and Pl an ners, Toronto. It provides a meeting pl ace which will a lw ays be open to visitors as an unheated all-year shelter against the weat her when neither the Arboretum Centre or the J.c. Tay lor Nature Interpreta tion Centre are open during som e weekend s or in off-hours. It will also provide a place for those arriv

ing early for evening mcetings in both summcr and winter. The new shelter is locatcd adjacent to the main parking a rea at the Arbore tum Centre and can accommodate 20 to 25 people at one time. Built of concrete with a glass front, it is entered from cither end making the int erior visible a t all times. The ceiling is of translucent

fibrcglass to admit maximum light. In addition, thc shel'ter provides a highly visible place for honouring those who have participated actively in the development of the Arboret um and its facilities, as well as those who have made major financial contributions to it. Acknowledgement plaques will be affix ed to the walls.

Endowment for Apiculture

William Thompson, OAC'!3A.

Under the terms of his wiil, a nd after his dea th in 1978, the estate of Willia m Thompson, OAC ' 13A, endowed the University of Guelph with a trust fund of ovcr $38,000 for research in Apicul ture, to be administered by the Depart ment of Environmenta l Biology. Born on J a nuary I, 1891, William Thompson gradu a ted from the two-year Associa te Diploma course a t the OAC

and returned to his Norwood area home farm. I n th e spring of 1914 he borrowed $20 from an uncle a nd purchased two colonies of bees from Professor Morley Pettit and his sister. After natural increases, which were a ugmented by buying packages, William developed a thriving business raising bees . Tn 1926, he proved his success and won first prize at th e National Show of Bees and Honey in London, England for an ex hibit of basswood honey. He was a warded a much cherished silver medal still preserved in the family 's possession. William had always been a com munity-minded individual and, at 18 years of age, had become a' director of the Norwood Agricultural Fair where he remained as a member for nea rly 40 years, serving some of that time as

By acknowledging the memory of thi s brother and sister, John Playford Hales a nd Kate (Hales) McKay, gradu ates from two of the University's three founding colleges, the Arboretum Cen tre shelter is a proud sy mbol and a practical memoria l which will remain both attractive and useful to many Ar boretum visitors for years to come. 0

president. William also held a 60-year membership with the County Plough ma n's Association , was on the Centenni al Parks Board for over ten years, and was a member of the Otonabee Conser vation Authority Commiss ion. He served also with the Norwood Masonic Lodge, and proudly received his 50-year jewel in 1977. From its inception in 1969, and until 1976, he was a regular supporter of the University 's Alma Mater Fund. In 1960 William retired from the bee-keeping bu siness . His seven or eight bee yards were sold and trucked to the Peace River district of British Columbia and his honey-extraction plant was conv erted into a museum open to the public . With the final transfer of bequested funds from his estate in 1982, the De partment of Environmenta l Biology looks forward to awarding the first an nual William Thompson Award for Re search in Apiculture in memory of a man who has enabled others to benefit from his dedicated and successful life. 0

Wragg

Retired

Cordon Wragg, '43, and student.

Reproduced with permission from the Toronto Star. Wherever he goes, Gordon Wragg, '43, former president, Humber College of Applied Arts and Technology, Rexdale, leaves a striking impression - as an in novator and a risk-taker, a man slightly ahead of his time. Unlike some college and university presidents, locked away in their ivory towers, this large, affable man prefers the lively and stimulating environment

outside his office to the paper-Iadcn climate within. ''I'm not a systems man," said 64-year-old Gordon. ''I'm much more at ease talking to people face to face, but pretty well everything now has to be done through a piece of paper." Gordon , who once planned a career in horticulture, announced in mid-Janu ary that he would be turning his aca demic "garden" over to someone else in June. "After 15 years, the excitement has tapered off. The thrill is gone," he said. "Waiting until 1'01 65 would be like waiting for an execution." He was president when the college opened in 1967, and has watched it grow. The college started out with 439 students at James S. Bell Elementary School-an old abandoned public school on Lakeshore Blvd. W. Today, it has about 10,000 full- and part-time stu dents and 1,200 staff. There is a main campus at Highway 27 and Humber College Blvd., plus five other locations in .Etobicoke and York. The son of a gardener, Gordon was born in Knowlton , Que ., and raised in Oshawa . After earning his B.S.A., he received a ma ster's degree in education from the University of Toronto.

Before joining Humber, he was principal of the Provincial Institute of Trades, later renamed George Brown College. Every once in a while Gordon shook off the trappings of bureaucracy and popped down to the student cafeteria or pub to rub shoulders with the students. He often went unrecognized and more than a few students were surprised by the chatty, smiling man at the next table. [n 1970, Gordon surprised both faculty and students. Student Union Presi dent John McCarthy, who called himself Captain America, and about 40 other left-wing campus radicals set up Liberation College, a kind of alternatc Rochdale-under-canvas, in a tent on the floodplain between the eollege and the Humber River. Gordon set up sanitation facilities on the site and went down into the valley with a chainsaw to help the students cut up logs for campfires. He ended up sitting around the campfire drinking orange juice and talking philosophy with the disillusioned group. Gordon, who in his spa re time reads , plays the Jlute and farms at his 50-acre home in Kleinburg, left his successor a prize garden. 0

Golden Anniversary Dinner

One of the highlights of Alumni Week end '82 was the Golden Anniversary Dinner, an event jointly sponsored by the Ontario Agricultural College and the College of Family and Consumer Studies Alumni Associations. The banquet was well attended by those who had reached or exceeded the half century since graduation, and it was wonderful to see so many hale and hearty grads renewing friendships and recalling memories of the past. On behalf of the guests, Morley Funston , '32 , class president, addressed the gathering an d, in a toast to the OAC , recalled many events from their first year in 1928 in the Old Residence, its demolition in 1929 and the building of the new administration building, Johnston Hall. The portico of the Old Residence, now in a prominent place on campus on the campus green, close to Johnston Hall, was fortunately saved. About that time, a new horticulture building with green-houses was built, and horticulture became a popular option. Watson Hall, a residence for girls,

was built during the period 1928-1932, as was a remarkable building feat, the construction of the underground tunnels connecting the main buildings to the powerhouse. This permitted all se rvjces to be carried underground which greatly improved the beauty of the campus. Sometimes we tend to take those things for granted. Morley also paid tribute to Dr. George I. Christie, the president who served from 1928-1947, and who was named to the Agricultural Hall of Fame in Milton this year. Class o/OAC'22 at Alumni Weekend '82.

On graduation in 1932, as now, jobs were scarce, and many graduates went back to the farm and into graduate studies. Members of year '32 are scat tered round the world and, as a group, have brought great credit to the institu tion. In his closing remarks Morley thanked the Mac- FACS and OAC Alumni Associations for inviting them to the Golden Anniversary Dinner-the su preme event in a long and enjoyable association with their Alma Mater. 0

OAC's Archer Extraordinary

Conversation with Linda Kazienko, '78, is a golden opportunity to find out what it is that drives some people to dedicate themselves, unrese rv ed ly, to the ac hieve ment of ultima te excellence in any spe cialized branch of human ac hievement. One comes a way wondering what holds the rest of us back; the fully commilled life, it would a ppea r, is the only life worth living : That commitment bega n for this Gu elph student 10 years ago when, as a novice archer, she rea lized how far she wanted to go. It was a vi sion that carried hcr through a string of gold meda ls a nd led to her election as one of the three women archers represe nting Canada in the Championship of th e Americas in Jollietle, Qu ebec, in August. She will be in Brisbane, Austral.ia, for the October

Macdo nald Institute / College of Family and Consumer Studie s Alumni Association

ALUMNI NEWS Editor: Joan (Anderson) Jenkinson, '66.

From

the Dean

Dr. Janet Wardlaw.

L ast year, after the annual meeting of the Macdonald Institute-Family and Consumer Studies Alumni Association, Joan (Anderson) Jenkinson, '66, your Alumni News editor, asked me to in clude in my letter to you some of the College highlights which I had men tioned in my remarks at the annual meeting. This year, I would like to turn the tables and comment on the high lights of the report given by your imme diate past president, Mary (Webber) Henry, '66, at the 1982 annual meeting.

Dr. Hy man Rodman delivered the an nual Harshman Lecture at the College of Family and Consumer Studies this y ear. Dr. R odman is Director of the Family Research Centre at the Univer sity of N orth Carolina at Greensboro. H e received B.A. and M.A. degrees from McGill University foll owed by a Ph.D . degree from Harvard University in S ociology. Dr. Rodman has taught at Boston University, Wayne Stat e Univer sity and the Merrill-Palmer institute in Detroit. He is associate editor of the Journal of Marriage and the Family and the Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology. He has published over 100 books and papers. He has been a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science since 1976.

Latchkey Children. The term conjures up depressing visions in the minds of many-children being sent off to school in the morning with latchkeys hanging from their necks, or perhaps returning home to retrieve keys from under door mats-in either case, it suggests chil dren returning to homes where there are no adults to greet them. Today, more and more children are

tell of their experiences in the hospitality industry, is always a "standing room only" event. Each year the Association presents the Hotel and Food Adminis tration Alumni Award to the stude;nt judged by students and faculty to have made an outstanding contribution to the life of the School. As well, students are welcomed at the annual alumni recep tion held each year during the HostEx Convention and Show in Toronto. The involvement of alumni with students in the College has, in my view, a double benefit. Not only does it enrich student programs, but it makes involve ment with an alumni association mean ingful to students and, as is evident in both our Associations, provides encour agement for their participation in a lum ni affairs very soon after graduation . We, as a faculty group, appreciate your continuing interest in involvement with students in the College. In this issue, three new FACS Sheets are listed on a request form. We think you will find them interesting and look forward to receiving requests froin many of you. 0

returning to parentless homes, and this lifestyle will, no doubt, continue to in crease as the dual-career family is be coming more common. There are no reliable statistics to indica te how many children might be involved, but in recent years the growth in numbers of working mothers has not been matched by a similar growth in day care facilities. Dr. Rodman has been conducting research in this field over the past four years and his findings are still prelimi nary, and, presently, it is impossible to determine the effects of the latchkey arrangement on child development. There are many different perspectives, and it is important to realize this fact in discussion of the topic. On the positive side, reports indi

cate that the arrangement contribute~ to youthful independence, a sense of re sponsibility and to early maturity. On the negative side, it is noted that chil dren may be exposed to risk of accidents in the home. What do the children do in the self-care situation') That built-in baby sitter, television, looks after most of the children, followed by playing with friends, playing alone, homework and reading. Often parents make arrange ments with neighbours who may be called if problems should arise. Tele phone contact between parents at work and children in the home is also a key factor in ensuring that all is well. Safety and security of children is of prime importance. Often, families set rules for children to follow - nobody is allowed into the home, including friends;

the door is to be locked and not opened to anyone; specific household duties are to be completed; do not touch the stove and do not tell anyone via the telephone that parents are not home. Occasionally, in this situation, children tell callers that a parent cannot come to the phone, take the caller's · number and then contact parents who return calls from places of em ploy men t. This form of child-care arrange ment , or non-arrangement, is still a controversial topic although it has been going on for many years. Little is known about it, but speculation fills the vacu um. lt is not known how many children are involved, nor the age of these chil dren. However, it is evident in initial studies that many parents do attempt to make adequate arrangements for the care of children.

Your executive, elected at the Annual Meeting of the Mac-FA CS Alumni As sociation, during Alumni Weekend '82, is looking forward to a busy year of activities and programs designed for both students and alumni of the College of Family and Consumer Studies. Here, for your information , are profiles of your executive members.

Our Mac-FACS AA Executive

Carol Telford-Pitman, '75, president, is living in Guelph this year. Carol ma jored in Family Studies and has been Department Head of Family Studies at G ~ and River Collegiate in Kitchener. Mary (Web ber) Henry, '65, immediate past president, is teaching Family Stud ies and Basic Program at Listowel Dis trict Secondary School. She is married to Don Henry, OAC '64. They live on a farm near Bluevale with their family of three, Andrew, 16; Nancy, 14; and Lisa, 11. Don is a hog producer. Rita (Klassen) Weigel, '77, first vice president, lives in Guelph. She graduat ed from Consumer Studies and is pre sently product manager at Canadian Canners Ltd., in Hamilton. Linda (Wolfe) Markle, '73, secretary treasurer, lives in Guelph with husband Clayton, OAC '69, and 2-year-old son Jonathan. Linda is a research assistant with the Department of Consumer Stud Ies. Elizabeth (Sinclair) Bell, '73, director, lives in Cambridge and is a part-time

As children mature, they tend to make their own after-school plans, par ticipating in sports and recreation activi ties which enrich their development. To help younger children manage safely on their own, schools may, one day, offer programs in the primary grades on tbis topic. In conclusion, Dr. ' Rodman pointed out that, at present, very little is known about latchkey children and, before we make up our minds about good or bad arrangements, more information must be accumulated. Studies aimed at what is involved in child care arrangements, and the consequences of such arrange ments to the family and, in particular, to children, are currently being conducted. Over the next five to ten years, we can look forward to reading and hearing more on this controversial topic. 0

Recognized

P rofessor Thomas F. Powers, Director of the School of Hotel and Food Ad ministration, is the first recipient of the Tressler Award, an award established in 1982 by the Council on Hotel, Restau rant and Institutional Education (CH R I E) to recognize outstanding con tributions in research and scholarship in the hospitality field. The award was presented to Profes sor Powers at the annual conference of CHRIE, in Scottsdale, Ariz., U.S.A. 0

I nrormation generated fro m resea rch on, and a bout, consumers has only re ct:ntly begun to have a significan t input to dt:cisions made by senior policymak ers in Canada. As a result of this early stage or development, it is, perhaps, not surprising to find that there are com munication barriers between researchers and poli cymakers . Each group fails, at times , to understand the needs and view points or the other. To serve as a first step in reducing tht:se barriers and misunderstandings, the Department or Consumer Studies hosted a workshop on consumer policy resea rch ror a specially invited group or 45 senior policymakers and researchers in business, government, the non-prorit sector and in academia. All participants have , in common, a signiricant interest and involvement in consumer policy. Funding ror the conrerence came jointly from the Department or Consum er Studies and from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). T his latter support of almost $15,000 was through a Strategic Grants program initiated this year . The purpose of the program is to develop the research skills of academics in the management and administrative studies areas through workshops, especially on research in

clncrging fields. The Consumer Policy Resca rch Workshop themes filled well with the criteria for the program grants. The workshop was held June 20 24, a nd the director was Dr . Louise (Bazi net) Heslop , '67. About hair or the invited participants were university rac ulty mainly rrom marketing and bu si ness policy departments of busi ness schools; rrom the Department or Con sumer Studies and also from such other diverse areas as la w, economics and philosophy. Business participants cam e rrom such companies as Procter and Gamble lnc ., the F.W. Woolworth Co. Ltd., .and The Creative Research Group Ltd., a Toronto-based advertising re sea rch rirm. Governmen t represen tatives included rour rrom Consumer and Cor porate Affa irs, one from Communica tion, Arts and Culture, one rrom the Canada Mor tgage and Housing Cor poration , a nd three rrom Consumer and Commercial Relations. Representatives from non-prorit organizations were rrom the Consumers' Assoc ia tion or Canada, the Centre ror Public Interest Law, the Canadian Standards Association and the Advertising Standards Council. T he conference involved three and a hair days 'of intensive workshop dis cus sions. Three workshop themes were se lected on the basis of their centrality to the current interests of policy makers. Th ese themes were: I. Representing the consumer interest. 2. Consumer inrormation and education. 3. De te rmining consumer well-being. These three th emes provided a Focal point ror discuss ions of the mutual prob lems encountered by policymakers and resea rchers as they together move through the stages of research - problem formulation, research design and execu tion and, finally, the reporting and ap pi ica tion or resu Its. Beca use of the ca libre of the people

involved, and their common interests, formal presenta tions were very limited. Instead, all pa rticipants were expected to generate the new knowledge and insights needed ror progress. H-owever , th e workshop did have the benefit, of the ex pertise , as resource people, of two noted consumer policy researchers. The first of these was Dr. Folke Olander , Professor of Economic Psy chology, University of Aarhus, Den mark. He has been a visiting professor in the Department of Consumer Studies under another ~SHRC grant since Feb ruary. He is co-editor of the interna tional Journal of Consumer Policy and author or ma ny articles in the rield. Dr. Dave Gardner, Faculty of Busi ness Administrati on, University or il linois, was also a resour ce person. He previously served as a consu mer ad vi so r to the Federal and Trade Commission in the U.S.A. He has written extensively on the researcher / policymaker interface. These two provided opening com ments on their views or the field or consumer policy research. Throughout the conrerence they monitored the dis cussions and provided reed back com ments to the groups. Finally , they pro vided their own directions for future activities, and continually orfered in sights on the research scenes in Europe a nd the U.S .A. where, orten , similar problems are raced. The conference opened some doors ror continued communi cation , and gen erated many ideas for ruture activ ities to continue the process. There were several suggestions for future workshops on spe ciri c issues raised a t this one. As well, several recommendations were made, es pecially by policy makers outside the university environment interested in se eing a centre ror consumer policy re search established , particul a rly he re at the University or Gu el ph. 0

Super

By Martha Leibbrandt The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council has awarded $275,000 to a team of physicists in the Guelph Waterloo Program for Graduate Work in Physics (GWP)2. The money will be used to purchase one of the latest exam ples of computer wizardry, a Ooating point systems Array Processor (AP), a highpowered small computer especially suited to large-scale computing needs. Led by physicist Chris Gray, the team members who will be the AP's major users a re Professor G ray (liquids and surfaces simulations and theories), and Professors Jimmy Law (atomic physics), Peter EgeJstaff (liquids and gases simulations), Ross Hallett (light scattering experimental analysis), BGrnie Nickel (hydrodynamic turbulence simu lations), Duk Poll (molecular physics) and Don Sullivan (liquids and surfaces simulations and theories). Department of Mathematics and Statistics chairman, Professor Bill Smith (liquids simula tions) is also a team member as are Waterloo physicists, Professors John

Leech (solids simulations) and Kim Papp (galaxy simulations). Adjunct member, Department of Chemistry, Professor Saul Goldman will be using AP for research in liquids simulations.

Millions Per Second The AP's value lies in its speed of operation. Especially designed for time consuming programs requiring lengthy matrix or array multiplications, the new machine, unlike older models, performs the arithmetic operations involved not in series but in parallel. This means it can perform a number of calculations simul taneously. Under optimum circumst ances its capacity can be mindboggling. For example, within one second it can perform 12 million Ooating-point addi tions or multiplications, 12 million mem ory accesses, and six million conditional branch operations as well as compute 12 million memory addresses. About the size of a large refrigera tor, the AP, which is expected to arrive in November, is in some ways similar to a high-powered minicomputer, such as the VAX , except that it cannot "stand alone." It requires a host machine, such as the Institute of Computer Science's Amdahl, to handle input and output functions, but these functions take up only seconds of the Amdahl's computing time. The, AP is at least ten times faster than the VAX and twice as fast as the

Amdahl in raw computing speed. Scien tists working in simli'la tions require hundreds of hours of computing time. For the pa st four years , a group of Guelph physicists working in this area have been trying to find a solution to their large-scale computer needs and have been looking for a machine that could handle them cost effectively. In the mid-1970s Guelph physicists were among the leaders in the world in simulations of liquids. They wrote the first liquid computer simulation pro grams in the world for a minicomputer, Guelph's Nova II, and proved it was feasible, but since then the research problems have rapidly become too large for the Nova to handle. Over the past 10 years, the Guellph group, and especially Professor Gray , has been working closely with Cornell University scientists in a number of projects, with Guelph generally provid ing the theory work and some simula tions, and Cornell, which has an earlier model AP, doing the bulk of the simula tions. Institute of Computer Science (ICS) director, Professor Dick Mason, and the Computer Services Council, have also been very accommodating and helpful during this stop-gap period . Cor nell is also in the process of obtaining the same kind of AP, twice as fast as its present model , and co-operative research is expected to continue between the two institutions.

Cuts Computing Costs An elated group of (GWP)2 scientists pictured beside the Nova /I computer, soon to be upstaged by a new Array Processor. Left to right: Professors Saul Goldman, Bill Smith, Jimmy Law, Duk Poll, Chris Gray, Don Sullivan and Ross Hal/ell.

Cost effectiveness of the new AP can best be seen by the following exam ple: a program requiring 4,000 hours of computing time on Guelph's Amda hl would cost several million dollars. With the AP it would cost about $5,000. With the AP in place, the Amdahl's involvement in the total exercise is the few seconds of inputting and outputting, and the hours of "number crunching" or "brute-force arithmetic" calculations are carried on, cost-free to the user, in the AP. The Guelph community will benefit from the " freed up" computing

time on the Amdahl , now relieved of some of its heaviest users. In addition, spare time on the AP will be made available to the University community. Computer simulations are a vitally important part of liquids physics re search , since they play an intermediate role between theory and experiment. By comparing computer simulations, in turn with theory and experiment, one can obtain, in time, both a valid theoretical model and also a realistic intermolecular force model. In addition, computer simulations provide results difficult or impossible to

Heeded

Dean Jack MacDonald's plea for " Help" in the Spring 1982 issue of the Guelph Alumnus did not go entirely unheeded. One kindly alumnus took im mediate action and sent, directl y to him, a cheque for $50 with this note:

The Guelph group is involved with all these projects. ICS is enlarging its computer room facilities to handle the AP and possibly other new equipment. Dr. Murray Alex ander, of rcs, is acting as consultant on the AP's hardware/so ftware problems. He will also act as liaison with users at the University of Waterloo and super vise funnelling of computer programs which, in the case of Waterloo, are to be

transmitted via the DATA PAC network. Professor Gray, on behalf of the physics team, expressed appreciation of the su pport received not on Iy from col leagues at Cornell and Waterloo, but particularly from resident expert Profes sor Jimmy Law, who mastered the de tails of the AP's hardware and software; ICS director, Professo r Dick Mason; ICS associate director of academic com puter services , Ted Swart, and President Donald F.

doing with things like genes, quark s and silicon chips. We are all, however, beneficiaries or victims of science, and we owe it to ourselves to find out what is going on. Scientists, too , are becoming more a ware of the need to bridge the gap of awareness. This is the thinking behind FOS TER-ONTARIO (Friends of Science, Technology, Engineering and Research in Ontario). The organization is the brainchild of Dr. J. Tuzo Wilson, the "father" of continental drift, and direc tor-general of the Ontario Science Cen tre. There are 17 chapters of FOSTER across the prov ince. The Guelph chapter, co-convened by Ernie McFarland, of the Department of Physics, and Bill Blackie, science co-ordinator for the Wellington County Board of Education , launched its fir st public science lecture earlier this year at Centennial CVI, Guelph. The speaker was George Vanderkuur of the Ontario Science Centre. His topic was "Soap

Bubbles, Probability and Candy." The very term "public lecture" may be a misnomer. George is a communica tor with the unique ability to enthrall and inform bo th 7-year-olds and sophis ticated adults at the same time in the sam e audience. When the new FOSTER chapter in Sarnia launched its own pro gram with a lecture by George 'a few weeks ago, even the sponsors were aston ished . by a turn-out of more than 300 people, of all ages, who generally agreed that the evening was more informative than Scientific American and as enter taining as "Raiders of the Lost Ark ." The Guelph Chapter of FOSTER has already signed up members. For a ' nominal membership fee, members will receive monthly issues of Newscience, the Ontario Science Centre's publica tion , and news of events of scientific and technological interest in the district. A series of monthly lectures began this fall, and Ernie McFarland has no doubt that the initial excitement Wh ic h George generated will be maintained. 0

Big Boost for

Image of Arts T ired of your Alma Mater being re ferred to as the Agricultural College? If you are, you will be pleased to learn that a more prominent public image for the Arts at Guelph figures largely in the University's current liaison marketing strategy. A series of sophisticated radio ad vertisements and a graphic print, com missioned from well known Canadian artist Heather Cooper, are the corner stones of a Madison Avenue-styled media campaign which was initiated last year. This approach was designed to emphasize the multi-faceted academic climate that has been fostered at Guelph. In February, J 980, Robert Burns and Jim Hynes of Burns, Cooper, Hynes Limited, met with Assistant Vice-Presi dent, Academic, Dr. ' Jim Stevens to discuss working together to create a new liaison media campaign. Prior to the March, 1980, adoption of the 1981 - 82 media blitz, negotiations progressed through several phases. Ini tial meetings outlined criteria and objec tives for the proposed project. After several fact-finding sessions around campus, Burns and Hynes provided a detailed report on the pitfalls of past media programs and their recommenda tions for future admissions-marketing ventures.

The University Committee for Liai son monitored a series of new proposals, until they were satisfied that one of the presentations captured the essence of academic life at Guelph. It provided a means of bolstering public awareness for the University's less publicized colleges. The media coverage outlined by Burns, Cooper, Hynes Limited provided a dignified foil to the up-tempo life-style marketing strategy of recent years. With public attention already cap tured by earlier campaigns, the Univer sity decided to hold it with sophisticated radio spots and the high-powered visual appeal of the graphic illustra tion created by Heather Cooper. Reproductions of the entire canvas, and smaller sections of Cooper's Edenic collage of Guelph's academic interests, now adorn admissions posters and the covers of the University's corporate pub lications. Portions of the Cooper print are slated for use on University publica tions for the next two to three years. . Themes conjured by the print will be utilized in the University's radio adver tisements. The Cooper illustration is a com plex and sensually appealing work. Visual vignettes draw one's attention to the wide range of disciplines studied on campus. Continuity is maintained by the use

of animals as symbols with a tranquil forest setting surrounding each section of the collage. The setting is reminiscent of both the University's emphasis on the life sciences and the splendid greenery of the campus. The main focal point of the Cooper print is a definite plus for the image of the College of Arts. At the centre of the work, a Ha noverian horse is flanked by a winged Pegasus. The inclusion of the Hanoveri an horse in the University's long-estab lished coat of arms prompted Cooper to repeat the symbol in her work. Besides the aesthetic appea I of the stylized horses, their presence suggests the dual faces of academic life at Guelph. The mythical Pegasus embodies the more abstract nature of the Arts and Humanities while the sturdy Hanoverian horse characterizes the concrete, practi cal concerns of the Sciences. The more diminutive figures surrounding the horses draw attention away from the central focus into a distant horizon. This technique is intended to portray an on going quest for knowledge. Initial response to the new media campaign was very favourable. Follow ing the unveiling of Cooper's work by the University's Board of Governors, 200 poster reproductions of the piece were issued to the Office of the Regis trar for distribution. When made avail able to students and staff, they disap peared as quickly as the 70 copies quiet ly placed on billboards around campus. The first external exposure of the media campaign also drew a tremendous response. Off-campus mailings of the 1981-82 undergraduate calendar sparked demands for posters from across Ontario. The 'wide appeal and momen tum generated by the innovative media approach produced a bumper year [or the image of the Arts at Guelph . Plans to continue the current strate gy offers a welcome complement to alumni efforts to build a more assertive image for the College of Arts. 0

Wo drous Tales

Ten years before her graduation from the College of Arts, Linda Manning, '75, was juggling the roles of teacher and principal in a one-room schoolhouse. Today, she still plays a formative role in shaping young minds. Her growi.ng career as a children's author, television writer and playwright, has drawn her deeper and deeper into the whimsical world of childhood imagi nation. Until recently, Linda travelled widely to give readings from her compel ling adventure poem The Wondrous Tales of Wicked Winston (Illustrations by Barbara Eidlitz-Annick Press, To ronto, 1981). The lively verse records the escapades of a temperamental wiz ard named Winston , and Winnie, his feline companion.

MacNabb, on his career in microbiology and his appreciation for having been selected for the award. Present also for the award ceremony were his wife, Ar leen, their son, John, and John's wife, Rochelle. 0

Your Chance B elieve it or not, there are still two positions open on the executive of the College of Social Science Alumni As so ciation. They are Secretary and Editor of PECAS-US. The position of Secreta ry involves recording minutes of meetings

are impractical, at thi s point , simply because we need a much broader mem bership base to carry them off. Please keep the ideas rolling in ' I would like to say a s pecial thank you to all of our members for your continued support. It is gratifying to your executive to know that their hard work is appreciated by so many. 0

A s an alumni association, we are now well into our fifth yea r. Since our origi nal steering committee began to discuss a ims and objectives for such a group, we have grown slowly but steadily . Our activities have been many and varied. Some have been quite successful, while others have failed miserably. We feel sometimes that, in our infancy, we are like the baby who ca nnot yet walk but is trying very ha rd to run. Our CSSAA membership campaign will be held in the near future. I would encourage you to join the Association if you have not already done so. In doing so, you will be fostering your ties with the University of Guelph as well as with your fellow alumni. We have ha d a great many idea s offered to us from our alumni, and we thank each and everyone of you for your contributions. Some of these ideas have been, or will be, implemented as part of our progra ms. Some, however,

tion and exchange. A few examples: faculty can get a better assessment of programs from alumni, students can be informed about career and job markets, alumni may be interested in up-date seminars or current discipline trends. ot all of these interactions neces sarily involve money. Social interactions are, perhaps, a good starting point for discovering areas of joint concern and interest. In this connection, I was struck by a recent survey of Guelph B.A. graduates (back to 1968) which indicat ed that almost 60 per cent of those alumni live within 100 miles of Guelph. Get-togethers may be easier to organize than we thought. Some of the present activities of the CSSAA involve money, particularly in connection with scholarship support. Aside from its regular in-course scholar ships, the CSSAA made an important contribution to the establishment of the J.W. Skinner Fund, in honour of the College's first dean. This fund is used to finance the annual J.W. Skinner Ho nours Scholarship and the l.W. Skinner Medal For Distinguished Academic Achievement, which is awarded to the top graduating student from the College each year . Both have now been awarded for the first time this year (Doug Klas sen the J.W. Skinner Honours Scholar ship and Kathleen J. Martin the l.W. Skinner Medal) and we are very grate ful for your support in establishing these awards. The J.W. Skinner Medal has a new

T he June Alumni Weekend, '82, was a disappointment in terms of weather, but it showed that the College of Social Science Alumni Association is alive and well established. It was particularly gratifying to find out about the increases in membership, and I hope this trend will continue. Recent CSSAA executives deserve a great deal of credit. ow that the CSS AA is firmly established, and looking for new avenues to explore, it is a good time to think about the role of an alumni association. I tend to think of it as part of a triangle, with alumni, faculty and students as the corners. Each group can potentially gain from the other two in terms of interac-

Scholarship support at the graduate level has become a College priority in the last year. Attracting high qu a lity graduate students (including high qual ity Guelph students) is important in all five departments. The College has now set up a fund to support graduate schol arships, and we hope to make our first (as yet modest) award next year. It would be very helpful if the CSSAA could also make a contribution in the area of graduate support. This may be one useful way of tying the three corners of the triangle closer together. 0
