Editor's Note

t's almost spring convocation tinle again, My camera caught the joy of the occasion last year as expressed by Arlene Yee, OVC '86, with her proud parents, Ivan and Joyce of Trinidad (shown on our cover), Arlene is now practising as a small animal veterinarian at Tralee Veter inary Centre, Caledon East. Above, another happy graduate, Cheryl ( Greenlees ) Berry, FACS '86, shares the day with her proud parents, Lorna and George Greenlees, OAC '62, MA. '63, of Caledonia, Cheryl, who was the 1986 Winegard Medalist, married Scott Berry on August 30 and they live in London, Cheryl works as a food technologist at the Centre for Farm Machinery and Food Processing Technology in Chatham, helping small food compani es with new product development. She. says the Centre, operated by the Ontario Ministry of Industry, Trade and Technology, employs many Guelph grads and she feels that her background in consumer tudics has really helped in her present p osition. Inside this issue, you will find a four page annual report of the Alma Mater Fund and an eight page Alumni Weekend insert which you can pull out and use as your program for the big event. A focal point for Alumni Weekend '87 will be the grand opening ofAlumni House, If you don't get a chance to participate in the opening ceremonies, drop around to the former sheep barn anytime and see its marvelous transforn1ation. Another highlight of Alumni Weekend '87 will be OVC's 125th anniversary celebrations which will last throughout the year. More about this in the next issue, . , ,

NEW RECORD SET FOR

ANNUAL GIVING

t is my pleasure to announce that the Alma Mater Fund ( AMF ) has seta new record for annual giving in 1986, exceeding its target of 5700,000 by six and one half per cent for a total of 5749,01 3. On behalf of the AMF AdviSOry Council, I congratulate the 3,631 graduates and the 789 friends, faculty , staff, corporations and foundations who have made the 1986 campaign such a resounding success. Almost 75 per cent of all annual gifts in 1986 were designated to specific niversity projects. For this reason, despite our fine record, some projects approved for funding by the AMF Advisory Council did not receive anticipated support. There were also insufficient "non designated" gifts to allow the Council the option of making up the shortfaJl. Let me explain. The AMF AdviSOry Council is made up of representatives from the Boards of Directors of the seven College A1umnj Associations, the OAC Alumni Foundation and the University of Guelph Alu mn i Association. Each fall the council receives and examines projects put forward by the

Gordon L.E. Nbcon, OAC '37

Colleges, which their sponsors believe merit financial support from alumni. Because of the lack of sufficient support for some projects and of sufficient "non deSignated" gifts, the AMP Advisory Council had to reduce grants for several projects this year. These were most difficult decisions. An ad hoc committee of the AMF Advisory Council was set up to study the whole problem and to suggest ways to overcome it. The results of their deliberations will be reported in a future issue of the Guelph Alumnus. It is also the responsibility of the

AMF Advisory Council to ensure all wishes attached to gifts are carried out. To tlus end, a report is required from each reCipient offunds, detailing how the funds were used. These are carefu lly reviewed by the AMF Advisory Council, thereby ensuring the integrity ofthe annual campaign. On your behalf, if I may, I would like to thank my colleagues on the AMF Advisory Council for their time and effort toward the success of our annual campaign in support ofGuelph. On their behalf, I would Like to express appreciation to each of you who has contributed to the 1986 campaign, the most successful in the history of annual alumni support to the University. I look forward to your continued support in 1987. Such support assures the achievement of excellence that is a tradHion at the University of Guelph. Cordially,

Gordon L.E. Nixon, OAC '37 Chairman AMF Advisory Council

KEN MURRAY: GIVING SOMETHING

BACK TO THE UNIVERSITY

By Sandra Couch, Public Relations and Info rmatio n

T he University of Guelph's capital campaign is an excellent opportunity for graduates to give something back to the institution which has given them so much , says Ken Murray, OAC '50, co-chairman of the Regional and chairman of the Associations com mittees for The Campaign. In recent years, Ken has served as a member and chairman of the Board of Gover nors. He was named a fellow of the University in 1983. Ken, who is a corporate director of Kitchener-based J,M. Schneider Inc., is channelling some of his time and co nsiderable ene rgies in to The Campaign in appreciation for what Guelph has given him. "I have a great affinity for this campus," he says. "One of the reasons I am involved in this campaign is to help keep the University relevant and vibrant. We're educating students here for the next century." He believes alurrmi should get in volved. Indeed, Ken believes "any person who is a graduate of Guelph should get out and w ork for the University. You cannot assume that other people are going to do all the work" Ken lauds the efforts of volunteers both on and off campus, recognizing that without them, The Campaign would not succeed. His contagiOUS enthusiasm has earned him a reputa tion as a "super-volunteer" with staff in the Department of Alumni Affairs and Development. The regional com mittee, co-chaired by Ken, w ill be directly involved in raising an esti mated $ 5.5 million for The Campaign from regional businesses and associa ti ons such as the Women's Institute, livestock breed associations and agri cultural products marketing boards. The regional committee, currently 28 strong and grOwing, will approach some 200 southern Ontario businesses before The Campaign is finished . As Chairman of the Board of Governors a decade ago, Ken believed

association and marketing board re lated to agriculture. The response to date has been very positive, says Marilyn, who adds that at one pro ducer organization, more than halfof the members had some connection with the University of Guelph. Ken is very vocal in his belief that Guelph graduates should get involved in The Campaign by making a financial contribution and if possible, by volunteering their time (0 help out. "This University has given us a great deal. We owe something in reulrn. "

that a capital campaign was needed at Guelph. He was a mcmber of the Campaign Advisory Council which was i nstrumental in doi ng the groundwork before The Canlpaign went public last September. "I want to be involved. 1 want to raise the profile of this University in the busi ness community," he says. The ni versity of Gue lph has made an "excellent start" to this campaign: of the 16 regional corporations Ken has approached so far, only one could not give at this time. With Marilyn Robinson, Mac '55, of Alumni Affairs and Development, Ken plans to approach virtually every trade

even months after the launch ofits five -year capital campaign, the nivcrsity wa..s almost half way toward its 86o million goal. As f March 31, contributions to The Campaign tota ll ed $29,971 ,022. ' 'I'm delighted w e have reached this milestone ahead of schedule," says Marjorie Millar, director, Alumni Affairs and Development. Now that the momentum is there, she says, "we 've got to keep it going ... we need the support of alumni as we continue to stretch for the next milestone." .~. "

ENGLISH INSTRUCTION

SUPERIOR IN CANADA

Dear Editor, I have taught Human Anatomy and Physiology for 24 years ( Deparlment ofBiological Sciences, State University of New York College of Arts and Science at Plattsburgh, New York ) and last falL semester, in addition to this subject, I was asked to teach a new departmental offering, Com municating Biology. Because college undergraduates, including graduating seniors, for the most part, write poorly, particularly in their major, our cOllege has decided to do something about this national pro blem: we have instituted a co llege-wide rccruitment that all juniors must take the writing course now he ing offered within their rcspective majors. ( was asked to teach this course on the basis of my writing abili ties, as perceived by the biology faculty of this college. Whatever strengths I have in this area, they evolved pri marilyas a result of my extensive pre college and college instruction in English composition and English literature in Ontario schooLs. I first recognized the advantages of tIns education in graduate schools in

the United States, and subsequently, I have become even more appreciative of this exten ive training as a faculty member involved in the preparation of grant proposals and research publications for the past 26 years. Unless there have been changes of which I anl unaware, most certainly the instruction in English composition

and literature, from both quantitative and qualitative aspects, at all levels in Canadian schools, is far superior to what is available across the border. I hope , some day, we will close the gap.

PRESIDENT'S RECEPTION FOR

NIAGARA REGION ALUMNI

President Burt Matthews concluded his cross-Canada visits to alumni in 1986 with a well-attended wine and cheese reception at the Beacon Motor Inn, Jordan Station on November 27. A lOlal of 86 people met and heard about the latest happenings on campus. Elaine Kerr Duffy, Mac '69, acted as chairman for the event. She operates her own cooking school in Grimsby. Beck')' (Barrie) Ker, OAC '82A, a self-employed song writer living in the Niagara region, played the piano as the group assembled.

PRESIDENT'S SCHOLARSHIPS

EMPHASIZE LEADERSHIP

T he President's Scholarships, the University's most prestigious under graduate awards, are designed to attract the cream of Canadian young people to Guelph. The 10 annual awards , worth $16,000 each over the course of an eight -semester honors degree, will go to students with exceptional leadership qualities as well as aca demic ability. President Burt Matthews describes the prospective winners as people who will be leaders in society. The selection criteria are similar to those for the Winegard Medal. One of the early medalists, Christine Zink, OVC '78, points to the importance of

the qualities Guelph is seeking in its students. " . .. it is very important that candi dates demonstrate a balance in their interests and activities. When I was teaching at ove, I came to know students who achieved "AUaverages by studying to the exclusion of all other activities. These people did not contribute to the lives of others, nor did such one-sided lives really benefit them. After graduation ... job oppor tunities are gained and lost on the basis of one's ability to communicate with others. Induding leadership skills and sportsmanship in the criteria for awards such as the Winegard Medal

and the President's Scholarships, emphasizes the importance of leading a balanced life." Dr. Zink is now doing post-doctoral research at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, studying viruses that cause diseases similar to AIDS in sheep and goats. The ftrst President'S Scholarship winners will he announced in June. Before then, nominees will be invited to visit campus and meet faculty in their areas of interest. The winners wiU be honored at a lunch given by President Matthews in September. Nominations, made by school prin cipals, dosed April I.

ARTS GRADUATE WINS FIRST

BOOK PRIZE AWARD

Lorraine Code's first book is a winner. Epistemic ResponSibility, a book on the theory of knowledge which asks questions not ordinarily central to that subject, has won its author the Brown University Press First Book Prize Award. Established in 1981 , the award is available for outstanding manuscripts in all major fields and disciplines by exceptionally able men and women who have not previously published bOOk-length works. The intent is to secure recognition for scholars early in their careers. The award includes publication by the Brown niversity Press through its affiliation with the University Press of New England. Lorraine's book is due for release in June. Lorraine received an Honors BA. in philosophy from Queen's niversity in 1958. She earned an MA. at Guelph in 1972 and, in 1978, was the first Guelph Ph.D. re c ipient in the Guelph-McMaster ( philosophy) Ph. D. program, Her supervisor was Dr. Douglas Odegard and her thesis was entitled Know/edge andSubjectivity. Lorraine has taught philosophy a( the Universities of Guelph, Trent, York, Waterloo and Queen's ,md has published a numberofjoumal articles and chapters in books. She wrote the

first draft of Epistemic ResponSibility Wilh a postdoctoral fellowship from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC ) from 1981 -83, during which time she spent a year at Oxford and a year at Waterloo. She is now in the third year of an SSHRC strategic grant, writing a book on knowledge and gender which will be published by Roman and Littlefield. During this time, she also spent fOUf months in Canberra on a visiting research fellowship from the Humani ties Research Centre at the Australian ational UniverSity. In addition to working on her book, she presented several papers in Australia and New Zealand, Her book and the papers look into the whole process of how people acquire knowledge and whether gender makes a philosophical difference to the knowing process or knowledge as product. Lorraine is currently co-editing another book with University of Waterloo political science professor Sandra Burt and women's studies professor Lindsay Dorney, entitled Changing Patterns: Women in Canada . To be publ ished by McClelland and Stewart late this year, it is meant to be a women's studies text and a book of general interest to Canadian scholars. It will contain original contributions by Canadian

Lorraine Code, MA . 72, PhD. 78 women academics, including a chap ter by Lorraine on feminist theory. In the meantime, Lorraine has been awarded yet another SSHRC fellow ship under a new plan called Canada Research Fellowships. These fellow ships, designed in anticipation of a shortage of qualified researchers in the 1990s, are awarded for three to five years and require university sponsorship with matching funds after the first year. Lorraine will be spon sored by York University's Department of Philosophy and Women's Studies Research Institute. Based on the work of Michel Foucault, her research project will study the interaction of ideology, knowledge and power, a project connected with her earlier work on the theory of knowledge.

ARTS GRAD WINS KUDOS

FOR STAGE PERFORMANCE

t took three years for Janet Land, Arts '80, to make up her mind that she really wanted to be a professional actress. Afte r graduation from the University of Guelph, she dabbled in amateur theatre and earned her Bachelor ofEducation at the University of Ottawa before "taking the plunge" and moving to Toronto to establish herself on the stage and in film. Now, w ith four years on the profes足 sional circuit to her credit, Janet's career decision is paying off. In March she finished touring to good reviews in the powerful drama, Fire, developed at Thunder Bay's Magnus Theatre and co-produced by the National Arts Ce ntre Theatre Company of Ottawa, the Centaur Theatre Company of Montreal and the Citadel Theatre of Edmonton. Written by Paul Ledoux and David Young, Fire is based very loosely on the life of musician Jerry Lee Lewis and his evangelist cousin Jimmy Sw aggart. It explores the conflict between the power of religion and the electric excitement of rock and roll. Janet's role in Fire was Molly, who is modelled, very 100 ely, on the 13足 year-old cousin Lewis married. "She's a wonderful character who goes from tbe age of 13 to 35," says Janet. "She is caught between two men, one a rock and roller, the other a fimdanlentalist preacher." OfJanet's performance, the Globe and Mail wrote: "Janet Land is a capable actress who has a special knack for projecting what may be called intelligent sweetness. And Molly is the only female role in the show, a role that calls for a range from a 13 year old's naivete to the chastened near bitterness of early middle age. Land is in a sense playing several different people and the character is more complex than might be imagined at first. " Maclean's wrote: "As MolJy King . . . Land effortlessly porlrays the transformation from bubbly teenager to trim matron." With such reviews, Janet's name is becoming better know but it has

janet Land, Arts '80 bee n an uphill clinlb. During her first year as an actress when not many roles were coming her way, she had to supplement her income by supply teaching and working part-time at Black's Cameras. Her first professional production was The Fantastiks at Leah Posluns 'Theatre in Toronto. Although she played the lead ofLouisa in this musical, it was a non-equity role. Then she appeared in two Blyth Festival productions, the comedy Cakewalk by Colleen Curran and the mystery A Sp ider in the House by Brian Tremblay. Next she was invited to do a musical version of Scrooge at Theatre New Brunswick. With these three professional productions, she earned her Actors Equity card and is grateful to Blyth for giving her that opportunity. Janet has appeared in vMious tele足 vision commercials and had a small role in the CBC production Charlie Grant's War. For three months last sum mer, she had fun playing Sister Mary Amnesia in Toronto Workshop Productions' Nunsense and she also had a chance to workshop a new Canadian play called Little Miss Easter Seals, an autobiography about polio victim Lina Chartrand. The play was workshopped at Le Theatre du Pe tit Bonheur, the only French theatre in Toronto. Janet's major at Guelph was French ( drama was her minor) and she is biligual. " It was wonderfu l to work in

French. I hope I get to do more plays in that language. The French people are very passionate," she says. Janet appeared in three Department ofDranla productions while attending Guelph - Chamber Music in 1977, The journey of the Fifth Horse in 1978, and The Miser in 1979. When she thinks of her training at Guelph, she thinks of her drama professor Harry Lane who guided her through two of those productions. "The highlight of my week used to be Monday morning dranu classes. We'd start with coffee and those deli足 cious Danishes from Massey Hall and then we'd run through our exercises. r learned not only about acting but the behind-the-scenes work like lighting and costumes as well. I'm grateful for that," she recalls. Janet doesn't regret her decision to pursue an acting career. She finds it very fulfilling. She is even getting used to the insecurity of not knowing where the next rolc is coming from, She didn't have any work lined up afte r Fire but was certain something would tum up, "Something always does," she added with the self-assuredness of:Ul actress who is starting to be noticed.

Grant feels that the association's second decade can be one of signifi cant accomplishme nt as alumni , faculty and students work together, exchange ideas and share information. One important aspect of interaction between alumni and students, he says, is that students can learn about career opportunities from alumni who have already established career paths. Students attending the wine and

cheese reception, including Eddie Chan, Terry McDonald and Laurie Allison had many positive comments to make about both the reception and their time spent at Guelph. Eddie has particularly enjoyed his fourth year at Guelph and the close contact with faculty allowed by small classes. Terry firmly believes that Guelph is a good environment for learning and both he and Laurie praised residence life.

GRADUATE O F 1917 RETAINS INTEREST IN HER ALMA MATER Etta (Birdsall) Gamham, Mac '17D, will celebrate her 96th birthday this summer and still maintains a keen interest in the College she graduated from many years ago. She attended Macdonald Institute from 191 5-17, receiving her diploma in "ProfessionaJ Housekeeping." When she moved into Maple Manor Nursing Home in Tillsonburg two years ago, that diploma was one of the things she wanted to take with her says Marlene ( Pfaff) Oatman, FACS '75, M.A. '78. Etta is Marlene's husband's great aunt. Marlene teaches in the Departments of Family Studies and So iology and Anthropology and says, "Aunt Etta wants to know everything I cover in my courses. If she doesn't quite understand, she gets a book from the library and will quiz me the next time I see her based on what she has read!" Etta reads the Guelph Alumnus to keep up with what is happening at the University. As well as changes in courses, she likes to know about changes in buildings on campus. When she was a student, she lived in Macdonald Hall. Etta was more adventurous than other young women of her day. Born in South Middleton Township in lS91, she attended school at S.S. 13 in Middleton and Tillsonburg High School until 1905. She graduated from London Normal School in 1909 and at the age of IS, undertook her first teaching position at S.S. 1 Middleton with 49 students in Grades l-S under her sole supervision. She continued teaching until 1915 when she decided to return to school to study domestic science at Guelph. After graduating, she amwered an advertisement in the newspaper and headed West to take a job as dietitian and h o useke eper in a 200-b e d teaching hospital in Regina. "I never worked so hard in my life," Etta says of her year at the hospital. Although she enjoyed the work, "When the year was up I was tired out," she says. So she accepted a teaching position at a prairie school at Tuxford, Sask. She taught there

ber 11 , 1915 thatthe First World War had ended. Etta returned home in 19 19 to teach first in St. Catharines, then at Mabee's Corners and finally at Guysboro where she met her husband Lee, the eligible young farmer who lived across the road from the school. They were married in July of 1921 and enjoyed 62 years together before his death four years ago. She c ontinued teaching afte r marriage, but only when she was needed, she says, because farm work kept her busy then. "I've had a lovely life," Etta says. And although she is now confined to a wheelchair, she says she's been "as healthy as can be all my life." Asked if there is any secret to her longevity, she quickly responds, " choose your grandfather w isely because you inherit your health." She points out her own father lived to be 99 and her grandmother lived to be 100.

MILESTONE

CE EBRATION FOR OVC

With a flourish of kilts and bag pipes, OVC began celebrating its 125th b irthday February 12. The COllege is the oldest veterinary school in continuous operation in North and South America. A special lecture by eminent Scot tish scientist Dr. WilJiam F.H. Jarrett, whose work pioneered AIDS research , commemorated the founding of the College and the unique contributions of the veterinary medical profession in the advancement of scientific knowledge and disease control. Dr. Jarrett, of the University of Glasgow Veterinary School, gave a public lecture, Vacdnation Against Retroviruses: From FAIDS to AIDS. His work on Feline Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (FAIDS) has been the basis for subsequent research into AIDS. Dr. jarrett's lecture took place in War Memorial Hall exactly 125 years after OVC's inaugural address was delivered in Toronto by another Scotsman, founder Andrew Smith. Dr. Smi th , a graduate of the Edinburgh Sc hool of Veterinary Medicine, was brought to Toronto by the Board of Agriculture of Upper Canada to open a veterinary practice and provide instruction. He operated the school under private charter in Toronto until 1908, when it became aftlliated with the University of Toronto. 'nle College moved to Guelph in 1922, becoming a co operative neighbor for the OAC. The two later joined with Macdonald Institute to become the founding Colleges of the University of Guelph in 1964. Since the issue of Dr. Smith's char ter, the College has contributed substantially to the improvement of public health, says OVC Dean Ole Nielsen. College faculty were instru menta] in the development of milk testing programs for mastitis and were involved in the livestock vaccination and testing programs that led to the elimination of tuberculosis and brucellosis in humans and animals.

In keeping with the Scottish theme, Dr. Dean Percy, ave '57, M.Sc. '66, a professor in the Department OfPathology, piped Dr. William PH. Jarrett into War Memorial Hall for his special lecture February 12. Also in the procession were President Burt Matthews, ave Dean Ole Nielsen, specially invited ave retirees andplatform guests. (Photo by Tim Sullivan) They were pioneers in domestic ani mal surgery and among the first veterinarians to adopt modem surgical techniques. Fac ulty researchers also perfected techniques for the artificial insemination ofdairy cattle and swine, and for freezing bull se men. Researdl efforts have continually expanded in areas of comparative medicine , where human and veter inary medicine cross paths. The College is now at the forefront of research on organ transplants and bone surgery, and research is pro ceeding in other areas of potential benefit to human medicine, including genetically engineered vaccines and cancer research. Each year, thousands ofanimals are brought to the ColJege for study and treatment. The 2,000 patients treated at the large animal clinic last year included an elephant, a kangaroo and a gnu. Almost 8,000 animals visited the small animal clinic and more than 16,000 farm animals - mostly cattle

- were seen in the ambulatory clinic's herd health program. The College's wild bird clinic is the only one of its kind in Canada. OVC's department of patholOgy is the Norlh American centre for re search on marine animals and the Canadian centre for diagnostic exper tise in fish pathology. The College is closely affiliated with the new Guelph Centre for Equine Research. OVC's influence on the inter national scene has been substantial. Students come from around the world (0 study at the undergraduate, grad uate and post-graduate levels. In 1974, the College joined the Canadian international Development Agency in establishing a veterinary school in Malaysia, the first in southeast Asia. Celebrations for OVC's 125th birthday will continue throughout the year. A highlight on June 19 is the official opening of the College's new Sl3.5-million large animal faCility.

DEAN INVITES ALUMNI TO

OVC'S 125TH ANNIVERSARY

CELEBRATIONS

Dear

ovc Alumni,

As you undoubtedly are aware, 1987 is a very important year in the history of the Ontario Veterinary College. One hundred and twenty five years ago this past February 12, Principal Andrew Smith gave his first lecture to students of what later became the Ontario Vete r inary College. By the time you read this, the birthday lecture by Or. William F.H. Jarrett in War Memorial Hall will be some month past, but the celebra tions are by no means over. This letter is to urge you to put a circle on your calendar around Friday and Saturday, June 19 and 20 ( Alumni Weekend) and Thursday to Saturday, September 24 to 26 ( Homecoming Weekend ) and plan to attend. AJumni Weekend wi ll feature the opening of the magnificent large anima l admission/examination ...urgcryfacilityin the OVC's Veterinary/ Teaching Hospital and other related

events of interest. ( Please see the complete listing of Alumni Weekend events in the Alumni Weekend program in this issue). Homecoming, we hope, will be a . gathering unprecedented in recent years, with members of the veterinary profession coming to the College

from across Ontario to take part in a sti mulating program of continuing edu cation and business sessions, entena in ment and so ci al ge t togethers. ( Details of these events will be listed in the August issue). OVC is the oldest veterinary college in the Americas in terms ofcontinuous operation. One hundred and twenty five years of service is a splendid record, don't you agree? Even without the anniversary, it would have been an exciting year because of the happenings at Alumni and Home coming Weekends. But it needs your presence to make it memorable! We do hope you will be able to join us at one or more ofour anniversary events. Sincerely,

N. Ole Nielsen, Dean

PHYSICAL SCIENCES BUILDING NAMED

IN HONOR OF EARL MACNAUGHTON

T he Physical Sciences building has been officially renamed the MacNaughton Building. The change honors the contri butions of retired professor Earl MacNaughton, first dean of CPS. Dr. MacNaughton joined the Department of Physics in OAC in 1948. He served as head of the Department of Physics and Mathematics from 1956 until 1966, when he was appoiOled asso ciate dean, science, for Wellington College. As associate dean, he helped develop the departments that ori ginaUy made up CPS and was involved in planning the layout and facilities for the building that is now named in his honor. The College was establishedjuly 1, 1970, just 10 days after the official opening of the Physical Sciences building. Dr. MaCNaughton served as dean until 1981 and retired in 1984.

PROGRAM AIMS TO ATTRACT

BRIGHTEST STUDENTS

By Sandra Couch, Public Relations and Information

T he University's share of the best and brightest first-year students in the physical sciences could well increase with the introduction of a challenging, interdisciplinary, oneyear pilot project called MPC2 (fo r Mathematics-Physics-Chemistry-Com puting Science ), says Professor Ernie McFarland, Physics. Professor McFarland, chairman of the CPS interdiSciplinary curriculum committee, says the basic introductory courses now in place were designed to serve all tbe students in classes that often reach 300 in size. Very bright students, the committee found, were not as stimulated as they could have been. "With the courses as they were,we were not attracting the quantity or quality of students we hoped in areas like physics, chemistry and bio chemistry, mathematiCs, statistics and computing science ," says Professor McFarland. The committee has designed a number of new first-year courses, which require a minimum average of 80 per cent for admission. The courses will combine mathematics, physics, chemistry and computing and are structured to foster a better appre ciation of the inter-connections between the disCiplines, says Professor McFarland. The more challenging courses will also enable bright, highly qualified and motivated students to choose one or two additional elective courses in their first year. Professor McFarland admits the project is a departure from the usual departmental philosophy and says the one-year trial period will allow CPS "to crawl before we walk". He says a successful evaluation at the end of the trial period could lead to possible joint degrees in the areas of physics and chemistry, or mathematics and computing. " It could well be the first stage for a number of other interdisciplinary ventures in the College beyond the

first -year level, " says Profe ssor Mcfarland. Acting CPS Dean Rod Gentry says the new intensive program will likely attr'.lct more of the best students to Guelph, "because in the sciences, the best stude nts are ve ry selective consumers. They're looking for the best program while they're still in high school." Former CPS Dean , now Vic ePresident, Academic,jackMacDonald conceived MPCZ because he believed that the way physical sciences were

being taught was historical and antiquated. He says the departmental divisions in universities are almost "tribal" in nature and often lead to an arbitrary and artificial division of subject matter. Professor MacDonald says MPCZ, which will be offered for the first time in September, is consistent with the University's aims and objectives and is also consistent with the learning objectives "in that it takes a holistic viewpoint in the teaching and learning of the material."

GLASSBLOWE RHO NORED

Unive rSity glassblower Anne Hostetter has been honored by the American Scientific Glassblowers Society (ASGS) in Cincinnati, Ohio, for her paper Quartz EPR Flat Cel/. The Fischer and Porter Company of Pennsylvania offers the annual Kermit-Fischer Award in recognition of the best paper presented at the previous year's symposium. The paper is selected by a jury from the ASGS on the basis of content, app li ca tio n , presentat ion style , graphics use and text. A quartz EPR flat cell is a difficult piece of glassware to make, Ms. Hostetter says, but it is useful in EPR spectroscopy because it allows the 5anlple to be pOSitioned in the densest part of the magnetic field without interfe rence from the electric compone nt of the rad iation . Ms. Hostetter has used the tech nique described in her paper suc cessfully for eight to nine years. She forms the flat sides of the cell from two pieces of qu artz glass with bevelled edges. When spaced pro perly, the bevelled glass forms a V into which a length ofquartz piping is fitted and melted to seal the edges. The standard spacing between the two pieces of flat glass is .25 mm,

although she has made cells as small as .12 mm and as large as I mm. A 25-minute educaHonal videotape about the technique described in Ms. Hostetter's paper is available through the ASGS.

WOMEN IN SCIENCE GATHER About 80 women gathered on campus in February to hear Dr. Lynda Pinnington talk about career planning for women in science. Dr. Pinnjngton beads Pinn ington Associates of Cambridge, a consulting firm that focuses on applied productivity improvement techniques for business and industry. Discussants fo r the careers night were Brenda Bonnett, OVC '79, a Ph.D. sludent in the Department of Veterinary Micro biology and Immunology, and Jan Kaufman, Library, who is on the Pre sident's Advisory Council day care task force. This was the second event planned by an informal group of women scien tists at Guelph. Professors Susan Mclver, chair of the Department of En vir o nm enta l Bi o l ogy , Mary Beverley-Burton, Zoology, and Janet Wood, Chemistry and Biochemistry, have been the moving forces behind this organization, which has blos somed into a nucleus of about a dozen women, representing aU the science colleges at Guelph. They say the group's purpose is to increase awareness of the role of women in science and the opportunities and obstacles they may encounter. The group also encourages informal net working and social contacts. "We've avoided creating a formal structure," Professor McIver says. Meetings are held on an irregular basis and there are no official officers. In addition to offering careers nights, the group has compiled a list of women in science at Guelph, using the criteria ofa degree in science and employment at the University. Questions raised by the group re su lted in the updating of the 1975 report of the President's Task Force on the status of women at the ni versity, which led to the formation of the President's Advisory Committee on Equal Rights for Men and Women at the University of Guelph. This committee, chaired by Professor McIver, w ill release a report this spring.

OAC GRADUATE WRITES FROM

MOZAMBIQUE

Ruth Beilin, born and raised in Guelph, graduated jromjohn F. Ross C. VI and earned a BA. and a Dip足 loma in Agriculture. She worked at the University and in Saskatchewan before going to Papua, New Guinea with CUSO as an agricultural extension worker. There she met her husband, an Australian lawyer who was working in rural development. After two years in New Guinea, she attended Reading University in England and received an M.Sc. in Agriculture Extension. She joinedher husband in Australia and together they apPlied to work on anAustralian government project in Mozambique. This is the first ofher letters (written in the summer Of 1986) on life and development in that war-torn country. Ruth can be contacted at the follOwing address: CAA., c.P. 356, Maputo, Mozambique. Life in Mozambique is a series of contrasts and challenges. The area where we live is a fertile coastal strip that has been cultivated for at least 50 years - some parts longer. Coconut palms wave in the breeze - their languid trunks arching over the dense foliage of the cashew trees planted between their rows. The latifundia system practised by the Portuguese meant that as a rule local families had less than two hectares each of usually marginal land to farm for subsistence purpos<''S and that generally they could not grow permanent tree crops on these family spaces. Therefore, the wealth from these crops remained with the colonial farmers. Today, the state is just beginning a large land reform program. What it will mean in real terms is difficult to assess, given the huge numbers of dislocated families from the interior, dry areas and more desperate war zones. The theory is that these families will be able to return to their own farm lands and accumulate more land there, assuming that the war and

Ruth Beilin, OAC 74 these years of drought and fanline will soon be over. The Mozambicans survive on their abilities as farmers. The suffering and deprivation have made them strong conservationists, sensitive to their crops and soils. But some of the obstacles they face are overwhelming - broken (Ools, scarce seed, loss of animals. Everything is a struggle. Village meetings are stimulating and full of lengthy debate. Story足 telling, animation, dancing and singing form an important part of the culture. The present govenunent has used these means (0 awaken a political consciousness among the people, who tend to be passive and accept their circumstances. Our group is not radical, but we are different and, perhaps threatening to this passivity. Mozambicans are tired from hard work, long years of fighting, a declining economy and many reorganizations of agricultural policy. We talk about self-sufficiency (which translated, means more work). We talk about development, but in agricultural terms, offer no pesticides (except naturally occuring ones), import no tractors or cultivators, and generally seem to be less "modern" than the Portuguese w ho left ten years ago. We are not just talking

about rehabilitation, but a whole developmental philosophy which is distinct from the projects of other development agencies in nearby districts. Although the communities we work in agree that the long-term benefits are valid, they must wonder when life is going to become easier. Through all this nms the struggle in southern Africa - the link between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the war in Mozanlbique and, indeed, in aU the frontline states. This war destabilizes the countryside and terrorizes the people. rfhe longer we live here and witness this nightmare, the more we realize that the end of the war will not be because of things or people in Mozambique. This is a war supported by the foreign policies of the West. Countries that continue to support South Africa give strength to the South African economy, strength that is translated into soldiers, anlIDunition, supplies and support for the ''bandidosannados'' - the armed bandits fighting FREUMO, the legal Mozambican govenunent. I could weep when President Reagan says the American support for Jonas Savimbi against the Angolan government, and America's refusal to impose sanctions on South Africa, "maintains the balance of power between East and West". He should stand on the ground where the price is being paid and teU the mourning villagers, the dying and the maimed that the world is a better place for this carnage and that the chess games ofthe "big men" are the real value of human life. Many other countries play sinillar, if smaller or less direct roles, with the future ofsouthern Africa. The tragedy of this land is the riches and vast potent ial which attract olltside interest and cost it dearly in ternlS of human resources. James and I first heard about the Rural Development Project in August 1984 when we were working for Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in

Australia. At that time there was optimism about Mozambique. The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrka's support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress. The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health, water and agri culture. But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans, not to mention wearing on one's spirit! Still, that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the "develop ment road " trying to build up organization and infrastructure , Waiting for the day when things may normalize. ( After 10 years of war, what is normal?) We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985, with James as project director and me as agriculturalist. 'The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986. The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre. The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language. However, the people generally speak their own languages, and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult. Still, they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities.

My own work is starting to become more visible. Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture. This is largely an education! extension system that operates on three levels. The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demon strations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community). The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system. There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110,000 or more people, so we had £0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores' task possible. The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background, but must collect and transmit agricultural information. The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves. These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future. They are also the direct teaching link to the people. After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure, we swung into operation with the agriculture rep s

program and the horticultural crops campaign. ThankfuUy, some of the long-awa ited tools - hoes, bush knives and seeds - also arrived. It is too early to know what the results might be, but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits, family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season. James gets the thankless task of organizing logistics, supplies, dele gations and the endless bookwork. Often caught in the middle of our demands, the reali ty of the Australian budget and the nightmare of trans porting difficult ies , he somehow remains C<llm .. . and diplomatic. He spends three weeks in the project office in the district centre at the site and the fourth is spent in the capital, Mapmo, at the CAA office. Our daughter Leah makes a huge differe n ce to our lives . The MozambiGms are enchanted by her. James is known as "the husband of the mother of the baby", I am known as "the mother of the baby" and Leah is known by her own name throughout the area. She comes out with me mornings and spends afternoons with James in the office. As always, 1 necd to say morc than there is time for. My hope is that this letter wi ll persona lize what is happening in southern Africa, so that more suppo rt will come to stop the war and the terrible sadness all around this region.

GEORGE HOSTETTER

NAMED TO ORDER OF CANADA

George Hostetter, OAC '44, a winery ex e cutive fro m Niagara-on-the-lake, was among 74 Canadians named to the Order of Canada in January. George joined T.G. Bright and Sons (winery) as a student in 1936 and was instrumental in producing the first vintage wines in Canada, among other accom plishments. Bright's honored his magnificent contributions as their director of research by naming a wine after him .

Hostetter Trockenweiss , a sparkling wine, is described by a colleague as "light, refreshing - and memorable, like George." Retired from Bright's since June 1986, George is now pre sident of Vintech Associates, a wine industry consuJting fum. He is active at his alma mater as a life member and director of the OAC Alumni Association and as a volunteer for the Uni versity's capital campaign.

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR

WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS

Co-op education is the only way to go," says Janice Parker, OAC '86. Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike. The co-operative education pro gram, which has been available to OAC studen ts for the past five years, fo rmally integrates the stude nt's academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organi zations. Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study. "The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field. This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international ex change association ) inmy field," says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland. Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made class room theory easier to understand. She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased self confidence and the ability to present h e rse lf we ll at a job interview. Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester. The interviews are com petitive in nature, as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S1100-$1500 per month. Kenda Allen, OAC '86, says the co op program definitely helps with finances. Besides earning money, "you only pay for four months of your education at a time." Wh ile in the program, Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation, as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. She now works full-time as associate editor of the

Canadian Ay rshire Review, which promotes the Ayrshire breed. "My expe rience in the co- op program helped me obtain obtain my present job. I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career," says Kenda. By working at a variety of jobs, Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and "fi nd the correct path to take." Kenda says she also enjoyed the "break from the books" every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning. Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic about the program. Paul Nelson, OAC '70 , M.A. '72 , vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto , participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program. He can't understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student, it would have been very beneficial to him. Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a f!Xed time-frame. If the students do well, he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises. "We always tell them to keep in touch," he says. "We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager, capable and adaptable." Doug Flint, OAC '85, who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods, was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor. In his case, the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell, OAC '82 , as his permanenr assistant recently. Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers. "It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a

permanent job. The company, in rum, was hiring someone they already knew something about." Suzanne Raymond, OAC '77, a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd. in Toronto, says her company has hired many co op students as research and develop ment technicians. Since product development is seasonal, the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsb ury. Students undertake short-term pro jects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees. Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint. "It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work," she says. "It also gives us exposure to what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry." Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job. She has found them, on the whole, to be very good workers. Louis Paul Ricard , a manager with Cargill Ltd. , a grain company that services both domestic and export markets, says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today. "The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well." Cargill's first co-op student, Don foster, OAC '86, has been hired full time as a grain merchant. While on work terms with CargiU, he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta. Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country. Cargill also hired the co -op program's first crop science graduate, John Ormrod, OAC '85, who now works in Saskatchewan.

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

n the fall issue of the Guelph A lumnus, it was announced under Grad News that Peter A. Walsh, OAC '81, was teaching in the Agriculture Department ofLakehmd College in Vermilion, Alberta. In fact, it is Peter F. Walsh, also OAC '81 , who is teaching at L'lkeland. Peter F. wrote us a letter explaining how he and Peter A. were always being mixed up while attending Guelph. Ob viously, the mix-ups are still happeni ng. We contacted Peter A. at his farm in Berwick, .S. where he grows apples. He has spent the last five years in the purebread cattle business in Alberta, first on a ranch and then with an embryo transfer company. He hopes to begin studies for his Master's degree in livestock

reproduction at Massey Uni versity in New Zealand this spring.
