Directo r, Oepanment of Alunlnl

Assuming the presidency of the niversity of Guelph Alumni Association following Ross Parry, CSS '80, poses a formidable task. The incumbent will find it difficult to equal a goal as lofty as the building of A1unmi House.

Now we have a campus "home" . What can the UGAA plan to achieve in the coming year7 In its next phase of "growth", the Association will assist the constituent CoUege Alumni Associations in achieving their membership objectives. Surely, the support of all alumni for the University ofGuelph is a worthy objective. Strong College A1unmi Associations mean a strong UGAA. Students and senior alumni, through their own associations, will contri­ bute significandy ro our strength. The ultimate goal: to direct the resources of all LIGAA alumni to support the institution.

I would be remiss iff didn 't acknowledge the countless hours that al umni volunteers and staff contribute to the management and day-to-day work of the Association.

Thanks to the Board of Directors and the Department of Alumni Affairs and Development. And thank you Ros for two great years!

On The Cover The Ontario Veterinary College has produced many generations of veterinarians throughout its 125 year history. Our cover photo, taken by Tim Sullivan, features Dr. James Gillies, '26, a member of the first class to emerge from OVC's "new" location in Guelph ( until 1922, the College was located in Toronto). When Dr. Gillies sold his practice in Cambridge in 1984, he passed on all his veterinary instnlmems to his granddaughter Joan ( in the blue coat ).Joan , a fourth year student, is now in the externship program in Orangeville. Grandfather and granddaughter posed for our cover with Dr. Susan Cochrane, OVC '82, a grad student specializing in neuro­ logy, and Angel. her patient. They also participated in opening ceremonies for oves new large animal facility in June. Read more about OVC's history and anniver ary celebrations inside.

OVC: 125 YEARS OF TEACHING AND

RESEARCH IN VETERINARY MEDICINE

Many early attempts to establish veterinary schools in North America failed , both before and after Andrew Smith, an 1861 graduate ofEdinburgh Veterinary School, set foot on Cana­ dian soil. Yet the college he founded in 1862 is now the oldest veterinary school in continuous operation on this continent.

The Ontario Veterinary College had something the others lacked: Dr, Smith's foresight to begin with a practical four-week course for farmers to "make them acquainted with the principles of their important art" and a close relationship with both the government of Upper Canada and later the provincial government.

Appointed by the Upper Canada Board of Agriculture, Dr, Smith oper­ ated the College initially as a private college, later by charter, from 1862 until his retirement in 1908, The first lectures were free to interested young farmers, TI1e first three students grad ­ uated in 1866, after completing a two-year course covering anatomy, physiology, materica medica and surgery, By the end of the century, almost 160 students a year were graduating, Tuition fees were $60 for a six-month session, plus $5 for dissection room and registration_ Students had to find their own dissecting material and the S3 to $5 cost per horse was usuaUy shared, The 250 students required up to 100 specimens each year, resulting in the almost constant movement of animals in and out of the Temperance Street College, The traffic afforded many opportunities for student pranks, Dr, Smith's successor, Edward Grange, inherited Smith's discipline problems but not his school stmcture, In 1908, the College became a pro­ vincial government institution and was affiliated with the University of Toronto, Move to Guelph

in 1918, pushed to relocate the Col­ lege in Guelph in 1922, a move that paved the way for the future. Located across the street from OAC, it now had access to a large number and variety of farm animals, The once horse-oriented ve terinary trai ning centre turned its attention to the needs of a more mechanized society demanding the products of food ­ producing animals.

Known as a man who got things done, Dr. McGilvray also pushed for the 1920 Veterinary Practice Act r equ ir ing that veterinar ians be licenced to practise in Ontario and effectively dissolved the legendary London Veterinary Correspondence School, a perennial thorn in the side of OVe. He extended the Coil ge c urriculu m to four years and strengthened ties with the University ofToronto by adopting matriculation entrancc requirements. He also opened OVC's doors to women by admitting the first female student in 1924,

Under the direction of two more principals - Andrew MacNabb ( 1945-52) and Trevor Jones ( 1952­ 68 ) - the College grew into an active student training and research centre.

By 1952, the total n umber of graduates had exceeded 5,500; there was a fo ur-year enrolment of 272 students and 45 faculty_ A quota syslem of four female students a year was in effect so women could be booked to work late-night clinic hours in pairs. (n 1974, ftrst-year enrolment was increased in an effort to meet the Canadian demand for veterinarians, Dean Dennis Howell, successor to Dr. Jones, later led a fact-finding commission that recommended the establishment of a fourth Canadian veterinary school in Prince Edward Island.

Today, only 100 of the 600 to 700 who apply to OVC each year are accepted and enrolment criteria ensures that OVC students are the "cream of the crop."

OVC has always maintained close ties With government. Dr, Smith's grants fro m the Upper Canada Board of Agriculture were a contributing factor to his school's early success, OVC began its second century by developing new guidel ine s for negotiating grants and by establishing a new funding base for the College.

Its teaching function remains the responsibility of the federal and pro­ vincial ministries of education, but the clinical hospital is now supported by the agriculture ministries.

Despite a freeze on capital funding in the 1970s, OVC acquired new facilities for biomedical sciences, pathology, microbiology and immuno­ logy, c1incial studies and the OVC branch library.

Dr. Ole Nielsen, ove '56, becan1e dean of OVC in January 1985, suc­ ceeding Douglas Maplesden, who had led the College into a new era of high tech in both teaching and research,

ave: GETTING OLDER AND T he OVC dedicated new faciliries June 19 that will upgrade its teaching, research and service functions. The new computer teaching lab, large animal admission and examination are-.lS and "state-of-the-art" diagnostic and surgical fucilities might be unrecog­ nizable to founder Andrew Smith, but the OVC objectives they enhance are in keeping with his commonsense approach to veterinary medicine.

John Wise, OAC ' 56A and Jack Riddell, OAC '57, federal and provin­ cial agriculture ministers, brought greetings from their governments to the opening ceremony. Dr. Robert James Pinkney of Milton and other members ofthe Class of'3 7 dedicated two sugar maples commemorating the College's 125th anniversary and 50th ann iversary of their own graduation.

Funded by equal grants from the federal and provincial governments, the new facilities represent Phase I of a long-term redevelopment project for the College that will provide much-needed space for animals, per­ sonnel and technology. The hospital addition includes admission, examin­ ation and surgical areas that should enhance the efficiency, quality and extent of animal care at the College.

New surgical equipment includes a hoist table that can raise a sedated animal from floor level and transport it into the operating room, and a tilt­ table that restores an animal to a standing position as it recovers from anaesthetic. Closed-circuit television will enable a large group of students to get a surgeon's view ofprocedures with the opportunity to replay the tape instead of having to gown and crowd into a small operating room.

The addition also provides more office space for faculty and students, a home for the new Department of Population Medicine and head ­ quarters for the hospital's computer­ operated management system.

Many of the improvements in diag­ nostic areas will increase the scope of co-operation between OVC and the new Equine Rest..'arch Centre, says

is designed to magnify the echo of a horse's breathing while eliminating frightening shadows.

Renovations have also upgraded existing laboratory facilities in bio­ medical sciences and clinical studies.

The Co llege can now expand its continuing education offerings.

ANNIVERSARY CONFERENCE

An Anniversary Conference, pro­ mising to be an exceptional oppor­ tu nity for learning and fun , will highlight oves 125th anniversary celebrations.

Mounted with the assistance and co-operation of Ontario's veterinary associations and academies, this is one ofthe most ambitious continuing education programs ever offered at OVe. It will be held Thursday, September 24 ( evening) to Saturday, September 26, co -inciding with Homecoming Weekend.

Four scientific sessions ( small animal, bovine, equine and swine ), a series of wet labs, and a lifestyle program featuring speakers (rom OVC, Great Britain and the .5. will be held. Each participant can look for­ ward to nine hours of continuing education.

There wi ll also be a special convo­

cation ceremony on Friday, September 25 in War Memorial Hall at 3 p.m.

The Schofield Memorial Lecturer at the convocation wiU be Dr. Franklin M. Loew, dean, School of Veterinary Medicine, Tufts University, Massachu­ setts. His topic will be The Animal Welfare Bete Noir in Veterinary Medicine.

ALUMNI HOUSE OFFICIALLY OPENED

Atter almost three years ofplanning and fund raising, Guelph alumni have a place to come home to. Alumni House was officially opened during Alumni Weekend June 20 by the University of Guelph Alumni Asso­ ciation ( UGAA).

"Alumni House will play an impor­ tant role in alumni activities and programs, strengthening the UGAA and ultimately the niversity itself," said outgOing UGAA president Ross Parry, CSS '80, who spoke on behalf of alumni at the opening ceremony.

Alumn i House was a central gathering place during Alumni Week­ end and will serve the san1e role during future Alumni Weekends, but its benefits go far beyond the social scene. said Ross. The build ing w ill be a meeting place for the UGAA, college alumni associations, individual classes and interest groups such as Alumni­ in-Action.

The Department of Alumn i Affairs and Development reunited staff from three separate buildings on campus when it moved into Alumni House May 4.

Afeu I days before the grand opening, the Alumni House grounds wet-e transformed from gravel to green thanks to a donation Of sod from Billand Dorothy Campbell, OA C and Mac '55, Of Fairlawn Sod. Above, Norm McCollum, OAC '66A, past president of the OAC Alumni Asso­ ciation, lends a hand.

THE CAMPAIGN GETS $16 MILLION BOOST

FROM PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT

G

uc1ph's capital campaign got a $16 million boost from the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and niversities ( MCU) May 25 to bring the end-of­ May campaign total to 548,956,170.

Eighty-one per cent ofthe S60 million objective has been met in the first nine months of the five-year campaign.

"I am absolutely delighted to have reached this milestone this early in The Campaign," says Marjorie Millar, director, Alumni Affairs and Develop­ ment. "Bur, it is still a five -year campaign. We will have to overshoot our target by a least 10 per cent to adequately fund the building projects."

The MCU's commitment, announ­ ced in simultaneous news conferences in Toronto and Guelph, will cover two-thirds of the cost of a new 524 ­ million environmental biology/ horti­ cultural science building on campus.

The remaining S8 million will come from other contributions to The Campaign.

culture and the protection of the environment are two of the most important challenges facing Ontario and Canada.

Guelph's department of Horticul­ tural Science is the only one of its kind at an Ontario university and the only one in Canada offering a doctoral program. The department ofEnviron­ mental Biology is the only such department in North America. niversity President Burt Matthews described the funding news as a "godse nd" . Although these two departments are leaders in leaching, research and development, he says, they have had difficulties in meeting their obligations due to outdated and inadequate facilities.

The proposed site for the new bu ilding is adjacent to Graham Hall.

President Matthews says the pwject shouLd go to tender in January 1989.

Construction is expected to take about two years.

Rick Ferraro, Arts '7 I, MPP Jor Wellington South, announcedMeU's gift oJ $16 million at a [n-ess conJer­ ence in Guelph May 25. He is seen here at the press conJerence with OAC Dean Freeman McEwen (left) andPresident Burt Matthews ( right) Greg Sorbara, Minister of Colleges and Universities, says the building project reflects government recogni ­ tion that the revitalization of agri ­

MCNALLY TO HEAD GRYPHON

FOOTBALL

Dan McNallv has been named the Gryphons' head football coach. The former Acadia University assistant coach replaces John Muss~lman who has gone to the head coaching job at his alma mater in Windsor.

The 32-ye::ar-old McNally has en­ joyed considerable succe::SS both as an athlete and coach. He played on the 1979 Vanier Cup winning Acadia Axemen and tasted the champagne again in 19S1 as an assistant coach.

During his tenure as a.<;sistant coach at Acadia, he spent rwo years as defensive co·ordinator. lhis was high­ lighted by allowing only 155 points in 14 games, setting national standards.

Over the past rwo years, Dan co­ ordinated the offense and helped the Axemen capture rwo Atlantic Univer· sity Athletic Association titles, aver­ aging 30 points a game enroute to a 12-2 record.

"There is a great trddition in football at the University of Guelph," says Mc ally. "And there is a lot of niver­ sity and community support for foot­ ball here - all the essential things that a football coach needs." Guelph's football program is in "ve::ry strong shape" and has many outslanding players, he says. He plans to carryon the tradition lhat led the Gryphons to win the Vanier Cup in 19S4 .

SECOND ANNUAL PRESIDENT'S

COUNCIL DINNER HELD

Chamber music by the Vienna Strings of Kitchener, an elegant meaJ and the sophisticated decor of Creelman Hall created a night to remember April 23 when 160 of the University's staunchest supporters gathered for the second annual Pre­ sident's Council dinner.

President's Council was established in 1985 to recognize major donors to the University and to encourage sub­ stantial support. Membership has grown from 22 in 1985 to 201 and during that time, members have given S1,412,862 to the University.

The evening was a social affair ­ designed to enable off-campus donors to meet the president, faculty and others who support Guelph.

To bring guests up to date on accompJishments and pJans for the future, President Matthews presented a brief overview. He mentioned the OVC field station, Guelph Turfgrass Institute, Centre for Soil and Water Conservation and Guelph's success in obtaining funds from national granting councils. He reminded guests that two of the four research chairs have been filled with world-class

IVAN TAYLOR: A FRIEND TO

STUDENTS AND HORSES

During his 39 years ar the University, Ivan Taylor attended the births of more than 300 foals. So, it was not surprising thal: he had a connection with one of the Percherons used in the ground breaking ceremony which marked the start of construction of the Equine Research Centre this spring. Ivan was present at the birth of the Percheron's mother, Duchess, bred at OAC. "He's likely forgotten more about horses than the rest of us could ever hope ro learn in the first place," an onlooker at the ceremony was over­ heard to say about Ivan.

The onlooker could have been any one of hundreds of students Ivan trained to show and care for horses over the years.

"He had an interest in people as well as horses and whenever a student needed help, he was there. He was practical, dependable, conscientious and extremely knowledgeable about horses . His equine talents were outstanding," says Bruce Stone, OAC '53, MSA '54, Associate Dean ofOAC. Ivan first acquired a feel for horses as a youngster on his father's farm.

When he began working at OAC in 1946, he was known as a "teamster", someone who drove teams of horses to do the tleld work. There was only one tractor at the University so horse­ power got most of the work done.

Ivan recalls spending several hours a week cleaning and shining the brass­ mounted harness worn by the horses at that time.

When asked about his skill with horses, Ivan modestly attributes it to the late Professor Orval Kennedy with whom he worked for many years.

"At first we had 80 ro 100 horses.

We used some for work and some to teach field husbandry. We even used them to take students on sleigh rides.

We broke in a lot of colts," he says.

Ivan remembers, in particular, training six horse hitches to pur on displays at Farm and Home Week, an

OAC eveOl which lasted until the mid sixries. He says he always looked forward to helping students prepare and rrain their horses for College Royal as well.

In the sixties, the College began to dispense wirh heavy draught horses until eventually it just had some light horses. Ivan finished out his niversity career a£ manager of the bull tesring station at Arkell.

Dr. Claire Rennie, OAC '47, assistant deputy minister, OMAF, says, "During my years in the Department of Animal and Poultry Science at the UniverSity, I was thankful many times thar we had a person like Ivan responsible for specific operations at rhe Arkell Research Sration. He managed the beef bull performance testing pro· gram as though ir was his very own."

Ivan retired in May 1986. He now works part-time in the wholesale business and sometimes judges horses at fall fairs.

Dr. Russ Willoughby, OVC '57,

director of the Equine Research Centre, invited Ivan to participate in the ground breaking cerem o ny because "he is a very fine man who has helped hundreds of people at this niversity. He was the key person looking after OLLr horses for many years."

Ivan says, " It was a nice honor to be there."

The classes OAC'86A and '87A have contributed $2,000 and $I ,500 respectively toward a patio for Alumni House. The funds were raised through College Classic, an annual con­ signment sale of dairy caltle starred by OAC '85A.

SOIL EROSION

GETS SPECIAL

ATTENTION

T he new Centre for Soil and Water Conservation will provide a focal point for research on the degradation of soil and water resources, says the Centre's director, Land Resource Science Professor Murray Miller, OAC '53.

Soil erosion costs Ontario farmers an estimated $68 million a year in nutriem and yield losses, says Dr. Miller. [n 19S4, a Senate report on soil conservation described erosion as "the most serious agricultural crisis" in Canada's history and predicted the loss of a major portion of Canada's agricultural capability ifprompt action were not taken.

The loss of productive topsoil is not the only problem. Soil erosion is the cause of major pollution of Ontario's Great Lakes. Runoff from farm land is the source of about two­ thirds of the phosphorus that is des­ troying marine life in Lake Erie, Dr. Miller says.

The problem has become so serious that the federal government and province of Ontario have agreed to spend 830 million over tlve years to reduce phosphorus inputs to the lakes.

And the Omario Ministry of Agricul ­ ntre and Food has established a soiJ

OAC BONSPIEL

AND HOCKEY

TOURNEY

Dr. Murray Miller, OAC '53 and water management branch to put greater emphasis on this area.

"There is a serious need for research on soil and water conservation," says Dr. Miller, "and Guelph will be much better able to meet that need with a co-ordlnated program on campus."

About 25 t;lculty members in various disciplines at the University have exper­ tise in soil and water conservation.

Dr. Miller expects the Centre to increase the visibility and accessibility of Guelph's expertise, allowing Guelph to assist government, industry and other groups with soil and water conservation problems.

One of the Centre's first contracts is with Agriculture Canada's Soil and Water Environmental Enhancement Program, to prepare an in-depth background report on soil and water conservation in southwestern Ontario.

TURFGRASS INSTITUTE

The Un.iversity will become a centre of Canadian turfgrass research, edu­ cation and extension now that Senate has given the go-ahead to establish a Guelph Turfgrass Institute (GTI).

Sponsored by the Ontario Ministry ofAgriculrure and Food, the niversity and the turfgrass industry, GTI - the first centre of its kind in Canada ­ will be housed in a new building on Stone Road.

GTI will support a provincial turf­ grass industry valued at more than 240 million. It will create a favorable environment for research in turfgrass science, an extension program, and courses and seminars in ntrfgrass

production and management at the associate diploma, undergraduate and graduate levels. ''Turfgrass research has gone on well here since its beginnings back in the 1940s," says Professor Lee Burpee, Environmental Biology, who has been working with colleagues for two years to establish a lurfgrass institute. "GTI would put us all together, encourage diSCUSSion, help morale, and give us and the ulrfgrass industry more visi­ biliry... Six faculry in three departments are involved in turfgrass research. In 1985/ S6 , the University'S turfgrass scientists spent more than SOO hours on extension activities.

T he 29th annual OAC Alumni Asso­ ciation bonspiel April 3 and 4 attracted 200 curlers. The Association is hoping for an even larger tUfO-out next year and p lans have already been made to hold the 30th anniversary bonspiel in Guelph AprilS and 9.

The champions for the competitive event in this year's bonspiel received the Class of '51 trophy from repre­ sentative Art Bennett. They werc the team of OAC '72: Doug Youngblut, Bob Edgar, Bob Henhoeffer and Jerry Felker.

The 7th annual OAC Diploma alumni hockey tournament March 20 and 21 was another big sporting success. The winning teams were 'S5N'86A for the Contact A division and the Non-Contact champions were the Old Timcrs ('75A, '79A, '80A and '81A ).

RECOGNITION

BANQUET

The 15th annual OAC Recognition Banquet held on campus in April honored 530 individuals outside the Un iversity an.d government who donated their services to OAC pro­ grams of teac hing, research and extension during the past year.

The recipient of the OAC Out­ standing Service Award was Dr. Morris ( Moe ) Freeman, OAC '55, general manager ofSemex Canada in Guelph.

He received the award in recognition of his contribution in supporting re­ search on breeding, genetics and reproduction in animals.

Dignitaries attending the banquet included Ontario Minister of Agri­ culture and Food Jack Riddell, OAC '57; Deputy Minister Dr. Clayton Switzer, OAC '5 1; University Chan­ cellor William A. Stewart; President and Vice-Chancellor Dr . Burt Matthews, OAC '47; Board of Gover­ nors Chair Edmund Bovey, and OAC Dean Freeman McEwen.

HORTICULTURALISTS FILE PATENT

APPLICATION FOR TRIAZINE·RESISTANT CROPS

By Owen Roberts,

O ffice of Research

One of the few places where farmers still have to hack at weeds with a hand hoe is among their rows ofbroccoIi, cabbage, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts - the cole crops.

Few effective herbicides exist for these crops. The need for manual labor has kept the hoe busy, but slowed the development of a Canadian cole crop industry.

A breakthrough at the University, however. could not only make hand hoeing a chore of the past, but heighten the importance of cole crops in Canadian agriculture. Dr. Renald Ayotte, OAC '82 and a recent Ph.D graduate in Horticultural Science, and his supervisors, Professors Pat f lamey and Vince Souza-Machado, OAC Ph.D. '76. have filed a patent application for cole crops varieties that are resistant to the triazine fanli1y of herbicides. ormally. these broad leaf plants are killed by triazine herbicides, but the new plants have genetic traits that make them invu lnerable to that common herbicide group. Dr. Ayotte says this research will find immediate application in the field.

The secret is the development of a seed with triazine-resistant cytoplasm, he says. By cro sbreeding and back­ crossing cole crops with spring rape­ seed (a Guelph-developed triazine­ resistant plant) , the researchers created new plant" bearing the nuclear genes of the cole crops and the <.:ylOplasmic genes of the rapeseed.

The result is a triazine-resistant cole crop.

Breeding herbicide resistance into plants is a relatively new way of dealing with weeds in horticultural crops . The traditional chemical approach has been [Q develop new compounds or extend the use of established herbicides to crops. But because of the increasing costs of research and development, the un­ attractive economics of herbicides for low-acreage crops and the strin­ gent cont rols over registratio n standard." few horticultural herbicides

14

Dr. Renald Ayotte, OAC '82

have been brought onstream. It is these factors that led to this col crop project, Dr. Ayone says.

The development of the traizine­ resistant plants could have a wide­

spread effect on the production of cole crops, which are gaining in­ creasing a c eptance by health ­ consci ous consumers. Cauliflower sales in Canada, for example, have doubled over the last five years to about 824 million annuaUy. Controlling broadIeaf weed species like wild mustard and shepherd's purse will not onJy reduce weed competition with the cole crop plants, but eradicate alternative hosts of pests and disease, says Dr. Ayotte. And the mechanical harvesting of cole crops will be made easier by the absence of tall weeds, which can clog harvesting equipment.

In additi on to eliminating the need fo r hand hoeing, the plants will offer farmers new alternatives in crop selection, says Dr. Ayotte.

Response by seed companies to the triazine resi tance has been good, says Chris Ostrovski, te chn ology d evel o p ment offi c er , O ffi ce of Research. He expects the plants (Q be popular with cole crop producers thro ughout North America and Europe, as well as in China, where cole crops are a staple of the diet.

RESEARCH BOOSTED BY

MINISTRY RELOCATION

~ricultural research at the Univer­ sity will benefit from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (OMAF ) decision to move its head­ quarters and over 500 staff from Toronto to Guelph.

"The ministry's relocation here signals and solidifies the University's position as the leading agricultural research institution in Canada," says Dr. Larry Milligan, Dean of Research. " It is a major step toward our goal of establishing the niversity as a world ce ntre for sustained agricultural research and technology transfer."

The decision to relocate OMAF headquarters is consistent with the Ontario government's decentrali ­

zation program. The announcement was part of the April 28 throne peech.

Relocation is expected to be complete by 1991 In 1987-88, OMAF will contribute over S3 1 million towards agricultural research, education and services at the UniverSity. This funding helps support 478 agricultural research pro­ jects at OAC and OVe. "No other university in Canada has the very special and entirely comple­ mentary relationship with its primary external research funding source that Guelph shares with OMM," says Dr. Milligan. "With the relocation, that rapport can onJy grow."

OVC GRADUATE HELPS SLEEPING

CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD

Give a child a comfortable night's rest and it helps to take his mind off his hunger and conserve his energy for the demands of the next day.

That 's the philosophy behind Sleeping Children Around the World

( SCAW), a registered Canadian charit­ able organization fo unded by Murray and the late Margaret Dryden, parents of National Hockey League goal­ tenders Dave and Ken. It's an organi­ zation that has given Dr. Gordon S. Bro'W11, OVC '45, of Harrow, "a very rewarding purpose in li fe sinc e retirement."

Gordon opened a veterinary prac­ tice in Essex in 1946 and was joined 11 years later by Dr. Douglas McKelvie, OVC '47. The practice evolved into a busy one, treating both large and small animals but a car accident in 1980 made it impossible for Gordon to continue with the large ani mal part. He sold the practice and opened a small animal clinic in Kingsville which he operated until retiring in 1986.

While on an Alaskan cruise in 1977, Gordon and his wife June met the Drydens who told them about SCAW. "We were impressed with their compassion for the oppressed chil­ dren in the Third World countries and their strong desire to help by supplying comfort," reports Gordon.

The Browns became close friends with the Drydens and began to support "their precious project". In 1982, Murray Dryden invited Gordon to join him in distributing bed-kits in the Third World. Each kit consists of a groundsheet, mattress , shee ts , bl anket, pillow and pillow case, pajamas, clothing and sometimes mosquito netting.

SCAW is supported by private dona­ tion . Every dollar donated is used to provide the bed-kits; nothing is siphoned off for administration or travel expenses. The money is sent to existing organizations in Third World countries like Rotary, Kiwanis, the Salvation Army, Canadian Jesuits and

Dr. Gordon S. Brown, OVC '45 and

his wife June Pentecostal missionaries. It is their responsibility to purchase materials and have the kits made up.

"When I saw first -hand the tremen ­ dous need and joy upon receiving the bed-kits on that first trip, [ had to continue and make this project a part of my life," says Gordon . He has now made four trips, at his 0'W11 expense, iOlO India and the Hin1alayas, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Thailand and the Philippines. On the last two trips, his wife has accompanied him and become equally enthusiastic. They make the trips to witness the distri­

bution of the ki ts and take photos of the child ren holding the kits and labels with the donors' names on them. These photos are then sent to the donors as proof that the kits are being received.

Each trip takes the Browns away from their home six to seven weeks in February and March. This year, 12,000 bed-kits will be distributed.

A 1985 SCAW newsletter reports on one distribution scene: "In Sri Lanka, the Inner Wheel (Wives of Rotarians ) intricately planned a week of d istributions in 13 d ifferent locations. One was a refugee camp where a few hundred people, driven out of the northern part of the island by the Tamils, had taken refuge in a Catholic Church. Theywere sleeping on the cement floor . inety of these fami lies had witnessed their husbands and fathers lined up and shot. A water tnIck came in once a day, as well as a food truck. We had only 100 kits for this great need. Our hearts really wenl out to these people!"

The Browns are plC<L'ied to describe their SCAW trips to large or small groups. Thcy may be contacted at: Box 1, Blue Water Beach, R.R. 1, Harrow, Ontario NOR IGO; ( 519 ) 738-6587.

RADIATION EQUIPMENT

FURTHERS CANCER RESEARCH

A donation of orthovoltage and cobalt radiation equipment from Princess Ma.rgaret Hospital in Toronto will enable OVC to establish a radio­ therapy unit in its small animal clinic by the end of the year. The gift of the used equipment will cut the estimated $2 50,000 cost of the unit by ahout half. Funds are being sought from alumni and other sources for site development of the unit.

The hospital learned of oves need for a unit while involved in joint research on the radiation treatment of dogs with lymphoma cancer in 1983. Princess Margaret researchers developed a way to preserve bone marrow while irradiating the entire body. The new treatment had exeel­

16

lent potential to extend remission limes in patienrs. Because canine and human lymphomas arc s imilar , Princess Margaret officials asked ave to carry out research on dogs, using the hospital's facilities .

OVC researchers treated 14 dogs with lymphoma. In II of those, the tumors decreased significantly in size and did not reappear in some cases until Sl.X months later. Without treat­ ment, veterinarians expected the dogs had about a month to live. TIle results were encouraging, although not at all conclusive because of the small number of research subjec ts.

The project stopped in 1985, pri ­ marily because of staffing and space

constraints at Princess Margaret.

When the new radiotherapy unit is in place , veterinarians wi ll resume research to find ways of increasing the duration of the effectiveness of radiation treatment. Princes..<; Margaret rt.:searchers will explore human applications.

The research could lead to work in other cancers that act similarly in dogs and humans. such as osteo­ sarcoma, the disease suffered by Terry Fox. If you would like to contribute to the radiotherapy unit at OVC, send your donations to Alumni House, niversity of Guelph, NIG 2Wl , clearly designated for the unit.

NEW DEPARTMENT TO FOCUS

ON HEALTH OF GROUPS

A new department of population medicine at ove is focusing on tbe health of groups of animals rathe r than individuals, particularly on-farm species.

The department draws personnel from the departments of Clinical Studies and Veterinary Microbiology and Immunology.

OVC Dean Ole Nielsen says it's important for the College to have a department whose basic philosophy is concerned with the health of the group rather than the individual. " It's particularly important fo r the agri ­ culnlre industry because modern food

has launched a new fund­ raising p roject called Pet Trust. The object is to raise money for research into problems and diseases affecting small or companion animals, to further work already proceeding in such areas as oncology, ophthalmology, ortho­ pedics, reconsrmctive surgery, organ dysfunction , ,lOaesthesia, infectious diseases, animal behavior and h uman/ animal bonding, and to provide fu nds for fellowships.

Kits containing information about the program have been sent out to every veterinary practice in Ontario and response has been heartening.

A Board of Tmstees will approve research projects and grants, establish policy and generally promote the Pet Trust. Annual reports will also be issued.

The OVC Seminar Series has really blossomed. List year's speakers came from all the OVC Departments, the Western College of Veterinary Medi­ cine, AgriCulture Canada and locatiOns abroad. For advance notice about

production tends to work with large groups."

Population medicine is the study of the frequency, distribution and cost of disease, and the inter-relationships am o ng disease , managemem , en­ viron ment and productivity. It also involves applied strategies for health management and the prevention and control of disease.

Dr. . ielsen says population medi­ c ine "is in line with the new health maintenance orientation of courses in OVC's new curri culum and it capitalizes on many of Ollr streng[hs."

It is also in Line with the needs of

"As we move to larger and more complex farming operations, and the economic crunch worsens, there will be more emphaSiS on effiCiency and cost-effectiveness," he says. Population medicine is concerned with the dis­ tribution, causes and costs of disease in animals. "There is emphasis on numeracy, using quantitative data to measure the cost benefits of health care."

DOES P EQUAL NP?

By Mar y Dickieso n, Pub lic Relations and Informa tion

One

of the most perplexing pro­ blems in computer science may have been solved by Professor Ted Swan, who has a joint appointment in the departments of Mathematics and Statistics and Computing and Infor­ mation Science. He has written a paper offering proof that P=NP. To the layman, th is means that "we will now be able to solve problems that we formerly thought we could not," he says.

Professor Bill Smith, chair of the Department of Mathematics and Statis­ tics, says that if Dr. Swart's results are verified, they "will really be quite earth-shattering and exceptional ­ of far -reaching significanc e in mathematics."

Dr. Swart cautions that the jury is stili ou t on whether his approach will be proved or disproved by his peers, but already his pronouncement has caused a stir in the computer world.

The findings are of considerable interest to everyone working in this area, says Professor Smith, and they are an important contribution to the problem whether or not they are eventually accepted as stated.

Dr. Swart says his results are bound to be met by a great deal of pro­ fessional suspicion because they are contrary to the prevailing thought.

"Most people think that P does not equal P. " Although the results are still theore­ tical, Professor Smith and Dr. Swart agree they could have a number of practical appli cations. Industry, commerce, finance and most other sectors of society that use computers could benefit from Dr. Swart 's ad­ vancement of one of the ftmdamental aspects of computer science, the use of algorithms.

People solve problems on com­ puters by using precisely defined sets of steps called algOrithms, says Dr_ Swart. Of the two classes ofcomputer problems, class "P" refers to those for which "good" polynomial time

18

algorithms exist, enabling them to be solved effiCiently on a computer. Dr. Swart cites the example of the "mini­ mal connector problem", which asks for a scheme to cormect a group of cities by telephone wires in such a way that the amount of wire used is minima l. "Good" algorithms allow this problem to be solved easily regard­ less of the number of cities involved, he says.

Computer problems in the second class - "NP" - are considered "hard" to solve_Large problems in this cate­ gory cannot be solved on even the most powerful computers in the world because there are no algorithms that allow solution of the problem without escalating the number of calculations to a level beyond the capacity of computers. Dr. Swart says there are at least 1 000 known examples of pro­ blems in this class, of which the "travelling salesman problem" is one of the best known. Even for a relatively small group of cities, such as the 50 U.S. capitals, there has been no solu­ tion to the problem of devising a route that will enable a salesman to visit each ci ty only once while tra­ velling a mininlal distance.

"My results say these two classes of problems are equal and that there do exist good algorithms for solving this type of computer problem," he says.

To prove his results, Dr. Swart's paper cites a similar problem, the Hamilton circuit, which is illustrated by asking the question, "Can you visit each of several cities in succession Without backtracking?"

Dr. Swart's problem establishes that the Hamilton circuit problem can be solved in polynomial time by con­ verting a mathematical programming formulati on of the problem into a linear programming formulation and using existing polynomial ti me algorithms as established by Kachiyan and Kannarkar.

The Significant feature of these results is that they will enable com­ puters to tackle larger problems with more unknowns and get the results more quickly.

COMPUTER SCIENCE PROGRAM

APPEALS TO STUDENTS

Guelph's new master's program in computer science, which enrolled its first students last September, aims to move advanced information tech ­ nology o ut of the research laboratory and into practical application says co-ordinator Professor Tom Wi! on.

It combines graduate courses in the latest research developments with an applied thesis.

Because there are only 13 students, each has what can be called a tailor­ made program, says Professor Wilson.

'The Department of Computing and Information Science plans to accept another seven students this September and expects enrolment to grow to 30 with in the next few years - de­ pending on the availability of faculty and space. Even with that number, the program w ill be small er than others in the province, so the level of personal contact and flexibil ity will remain high.

Students in the program are often involved in problems that are of interest to other departments. About two-thirds of the students are Guelph gradu ates - many with do uble degrees.

TI1e undergraduate backgrounds of the students range from medicinal chemistry to philosophy, and their research interests are just as varied, as the following profiles indicate.

Talking to Dolphins Karl Langton, CPS '84, is combining research in artificial intelligence with a long-standing interest in dolphin

communication. He is developing soft­ ware that will allow dolphin com­ munication researchers at the niver­ sity of Hawaii to extract information from a database using a "natural language", such as English, rather than a computer language. 'This would free them from having to learn com­ plex computer skills.

Karl, whose thesis adviser is Pro­ fessor Mary Mcle ish, travell ed to Hawaii in April to install a natural language processing system at the Kewalo Basin Marine Mammal labora­ tory and to become more fami liar with the computers available there. A graduate of Gue lph 's co mp ute r science program, Karl at 0 has an undergraduate degree in medicinal chemistry from Concordia University and has done graduate work in neuro­ science at McMaster Medical Centre.

Howard Pel l's special interest is fibre optics and their use in wide-area communication networks. sing light instead of electricity offers amazing capabilities, he says, because tele­ phone, television and computer data can be transmitted over a single piece of pi astie.

Howard, who is working under Professor Wilson, has a joint B.A. C'86) fro m Guelph in computer science and philosophy. The under­ g raouate prog ram in co mputer science focused more on software, says Howard, but his preference is hardware . The master 's progra m allows him to devote his time to this first love.

RETIRING PROFESSOR HONORED

T he Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry hosted a symposium in the spring on the molecular mechan­ isms underlying vertebrate visual transduction. The symposium honored Professor Bill Abrahamson who retired May 1. It provided a review of current approaches to a field in which Professor Ab.....J.hamson 's

contributions are widely appreciated.

Speakers included Dr. Barry Honig of Columbia University, New York; Dr. Roger LeBlanc, University of Quebec, Trois-Rivieres; Dr. Edward Pugh, University of Pennsylvania, Ph ilade lphia; and Dr. Meredith Applebury, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana.

Professorjohll Simpson

NAMED TO

ROYAL SOCIETY

ProfessorJohn Sinlpson has become the fou rt h University of Gue lph physicist to be named a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. He was inducted into the society' Academy of Science at its annual meeting this spring.

In 1985, Dr. Simpson received the society's prestigious Rutherford Memorial Medal in Physics for his work in nuclear and particle physics.

He earned international recognition for his study of neutrinos - subatomjc particles that are part of all matter in the universe - and has been instru­ mental in planning a solar neutrino observatory that will open in udbury in 1990.

Dr. Simp on, who has been on faculty at Guelph since 1969, holds a B.A.Se. and M.Sc. from [he University ofToronto and a D.Phil. from Oxford University. He shares the FRSC dis­ ti nction with eight other Guelph faculty - Professors Peter Egelstaff, Gabriel Karl and Bernhard ickel, Physics; Bruce Sells, dean of CBS; Derek Bewley, chair of Botany; Michael Ruse, Philosphy and History; Colin Fyfe , Chemistry; and Herb Armstrong, special assistant to the president.

DR. JOHN POWEll RECEIVES MEDAL OF MERIT Dr. John Powell, who retired as professor of Human Kinetics in 1984, received the niversity's Medal of Merit at spring convocation in recogni­ tion not only of his important contri­ butions to establishing the study of human structure and function at the University, but also in appreciation of his dedication to the physical well­ being of mankind.

During 20 years of service to the niversity, Dr. Powell served two terms as Director of the School of Human Biology and Chairman of the Department of Human Kinetics.

Through his guidance, the Department of Human Kint:lics was established as part of the new College of Biological Science in 1971 , and after retiring, he received the College's first Meri­ torious Service Medal .

With the untimely death of Walter Vaughan in late 1983, the call came from the President's office to fill Secretary of Senate . Dr. Powell plugged the gap for seven months, fulfilling his goal to serve at the University, as well as the College and departrnentallevels.

In 1983, the Faculty Association presented Dr. Powell with the first University of Guelph Special Merit Award in recognition of teaching excellence, curriculum development and dedication to his students.

Included among Dr. Powell's achi­ evements is the initiation of the Human Kinetics Student Symposium in 1971 . This undertaking has become a popular annual campus event.

Dr. Powell served as Honorary Pre­ sident of the Human Kinetics Alumni Association from 1971 -83 and served as editor of both the Bio-Sci News in the Guelph Alumnus and the Human Kinetics Newsletter. The Human Kinetics Alumn i Association has honored him with a scholarship in his nanle.

When he arrived at Guelph in 1965, Dr. Powell initiated, and for five days a week still leads, the Cardio­ Vascular Club. This club has brought a genuine enjoyment of exercise into

20

the lives ofDr. Powell's many disciples.

In 1983, a film featuring the Cardio­ Vascular Club, funded by the Univer­ sity of Guelph Alumni Association, won acdaim from the Czechoslova­ kian government. The film was later shown in Budapest at the request of the Hungarian government. Dr. Powell was honored by Premier WilIian1 Davis in 1985 for his specific con­ trihution to cardiov.-!Scular rehabili­ tation.

For 15 years, Or. Powell has been a member of the International Olympic Academy, an institution that develops the theory, ethics and procedures for the Olympic Games. His contribution to the Academy was recognized by the He llenic Olympic Committee when it conferred upon him the prestigious rank of Collaborator and awarded him a silver medallion_ He also received one of two silver commemorative medals presented to Canadians in 1986 "for devoted work to the youth of the world through the International Olympic Academy since 1972."

Dr. Powell has come up with a definition for the word "Olympism" wh ich has been officially accepted by the Canadian Olympic Association.

Dr john Powel~ Left, receives MedaL afMeritfrom Chancel/or William A. StfnVart at spring convocation.

The word was first used in 1896 and continued to be used but had never been defined. ·The definition states that "olympism is a harmony of ideas and ideals that affinn the value of Olympic sport in promoting and developing physical and moral quali ­ ties in individuals and in contributing to a better and more peaceful world by enabling nations to meet in an atmosphere of mutual respect and international amity."

One word that Dr. Powell hasn't come up with a definition for is "retirement". A self-proclaimed "people person", he continues to remain active on campus through the Human Kinetics Symposia and the Cardio-Vascular €lub and also con­ ducts back rehabilitation clinics through Medical Services. As long as people need him , he will have contri­ butions to make. "I'm a very thankful man," he says.

PROFESSOR

EMERITUS

PrOfessor emeritus status was bestowed on Professor John George, Department of Zoology, at spring convocation.

Born and educated in India, Pro­ fessor George joined the University of Baroda in 1950 as the first head of its zoology department, and over the next decade developed one of the leading zoology departments in India.

He came to Guelph as professor of zoology in 1967, a pOSition he held until his retirement in 1986.

Twice a Fulbright FeUow, Professor George has been an invited speaker at

Professor Emeritusjohn George, left, with Chancellor William A. Stewart symposia in Canada, the .5., the Soviet Union and southeast Asia. His many awards include the 1979 Award of Excellence in Research fro m the Guelph Chapter of Sigma Xi.

OCUFAAWARD

PROFESSOR

RETIRES

Dr. w.George Barker was honored on his retirement recently at a dinner and reception hosted by the Depart­ ment of Botany. Dr. Barker's career in plant science includes two periods at the University of Guelph. From 1972 to 1983 he was chair of the Depart­ ment of Botany and Genetics in the newly-formed College of Biological Science, and was instrumental in guiding the department into new strengths in Botany, Ecology and Genetics. The emerging Genetics section became the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics in 1983.

Dr. Barker, a native of Stratford, served in Europe during World War II as a captain in the Provost Company of the Canadian Army. On his return, he earned his B.Se. (1947 ) and M.Sc. ( 1949 ) at the University of Western Ontario. His master's thesis was con­ cerned with the effect of ethyl carba­ mate on mitotic activity in plants.

This biologically-active compound recently made headlines as a conta­ minant of certain wines.

In 1953, Dr. Barker received his PhD. from the University ofMichigan for h is thesis on the proliferation of bass wood taken from 50-year-old trunk tissue, demonstrating that these cells retained full developmental capa­ city. From this time on, Dr. Barker has maintained an interest in plant tissue culture.

From 1952-54,Dr. Barker was assis­ tant professor in the Department of Botany ( then OAC). During this period, he perfected the technique of produ ci ng tubers in vitro. This approach remains a cornerstone of modem biotechnology with potatoes.

From 1955 to 1960, Dr. Barker worked with the United Fmit Com­ pany in Costa Rica, Honduras and at Cornell, developing practical methods of banana propagation still in wide­ spread use, and carrying out basic studies on morphology and anatomy.

He became co-ordinator of research on lowbush blueberries at the Agri­ c ultural Rese a r c h Stat ion in Frederi c ton, and in 1964 w as appointed Director of the Biological Teaching Unit, University of Manitoba.

Dr. W

George Barker Whe n Dr. Barker returned to Guelph in 1972, he llsed his long­ established experience in basic and applied research and teaching to build a new department in a new College.

He leaves behind a strong teaching department which also has an estab­ li s hed in ternational research reputalion.

Dr. Keith Ronald, director of the Arboretum and former dean of CBS, announced that a Scotch pine in the Arboretum had been dedicated in honor of Dr. Barker's contribution to all a..'ipects of University life. Dr. Bruce Sells, dean of CBS, emphasized Dr. Barker's pivotaJ role in initiating strong programs in three areas of biological science, and presented him with a chair on behalf of the College. Dr. ].

Derek Bewley, present chair of Botany, thanked Dr. Barker for his help and guidance, and presented a VCR from the 100 alumni, students, staff and faculty members in attendance at the dinner.

Professor Susan Corey, Department of Zoology, is one of eight winners of the province's highest honor for excell­ ence in university teaching. The awards, presented annually by the Ontario Confederation of University Teachers ( OCUFA ) , recognize out­ standing teaching ability.

The winners are selected from nominations submitted by colleagues, students, university administrators, alumni and faculty committees. In Dr. Corey's case, the nomination was made by her students.

Professor Roy Anderson, chair of the Department ofZoology, describes Dr. Corey as "a very devoted, effective teacher" and "a loyal, hard working member of the department " Dr. Corey is a graduate of The University of Western Omario and received her doctorate from Glasgow UniverSity. On fACulty at Guelph si nce 1966, she teaches undergraduate courses, supervises graduate students and conducts research, with a parti­ cular interest in the biology and ecology of the fresh water crayfish.

She has served on many University committees as well as on the board of directors of the Huntsman Marine Laboratory at St. Andrews, N.B.

The first annual CBS f aculty-student day was hosted earlier this year by the CBS Alumni Association and CBS Student Coundl. Faculty shared their ideas on teaChing, cm"eer options, graduate studies and sdentific issues with students during informal round table discussions. At the Zoology table during the event are, left to right, Vesl1a Ranisavljevic, '90, Richard Audet, '88" Trudy Medl.and, '83, an association director, Rob Tonus, '8 7, and Prof essor John Sprague.

PHILLIP CHAN

HONORED

PhilliP Chan, HAFA '75, general manager of the China Tiki restaurant in Guelph, was presented with the prestigious George D. Bedell Award at the Hotel and Food Administration Alumni Association's annual Hostex Hospitality Reception in Toronto this spring.

Over 100 HAFA alumn i witnessed the presentation to Phillip who has shown leadership in both the hospita­ li ty industry and his community.

Phillip was attracted to the Diver­ sity of Guelph by a Canadian Restau ­ rant f oundation entrance scholarship.

After graduating, he rJfl the restaurant,> at Pearson International Airport for Cara food Services. He then ran Magic Pan restaurants for Quaker Oars at the Toronto Eaton Centre and Hazleton Lanes before opening the China Tiki with 10 partners seven years ago. He now runs the 200-seat restaurant with two partners.

As a founding member and past director of the Ontario Chinese Restaurant Associatio n ( OCRA ) , Phillip has travelled to China three times and in 1986 was part of the Association's food and friendship delegation which taught North American-style Chinese cooking to Chinese chefs to help them carer to a growing number of Western to urists.

Through the OCRA and the Canadian Hospitality Foundation, Phillip has also helped establish six in-course scholarships for students in hospitality programs at Guelph, Ryerson Poly­ technical Institute and George Brown College, Toronto.

Seven years ago, along with three partners, Phillip introduced Lee Tai Po, an Ontario wine bottled by Barnes and specifi cally designed to compli­ ment the delicate flavors of Oriental cuisine. Phillip holds the registration to this Chinese labelled wine endorsed by the OCRA. Phillip has contributed to his com­ munity as past president and director of the Central Ontario Cultural Asso­ ciation, panel speaker for the Chamber of Commerce, and sponsor of Big

Brothers ,Uld minor soccer. He is presently a director of [he Guelph Music Club. He has won awards for photography, marksmanship and res­ taurant menu design.

An enthusiastic supporter of the University, Phillip served two terms as a member of senate (1973-76 and 1982-85 ), as a fou nding member and president of the Chinese Students Association, as a member of the ad ­ visory committee to the President on Unive rsity involvement in inter­ national affairs, as a member of the Foodservices Advisory Committee, as the University's first Foodscrvices Ombudsman , and as chairman of China Week Celebrations ( 1973 and 1974).

He is a lik member of the llAFA Al umni Association and a wiIIing speaker at the Association's Careers Nights. Phillip and his wife Tang have four children, Christopher, Catherine, Alana and Caralin.

The George D. Bedell Award was established last year to recognize the contributions of Professor Bedell to the hospitality industry. He developed Canada's first degree program in hos­ pitality management at Guelph. HAFA now has hundreds of graduates who enjoy professional status, thanks to the high standards Professor Bedell set. His awards include the Diplomate of the Canadian Restaurant Association Foundation, the Jack c. 5im Man of the Year, and the Queen's Silver Jubi­ lee Medal. He added the niversity's Medal of Merit to this list at spring convocation.

INDUSTRY TASK FORCE REVIEWS

IFM PROGRAM

A task force representi ng senior levels of the dietetic profession and institutional foodservice management met on campus earlier this year to advise the School of Hotel and Food Administration ( HAFA ) about the development of its Institutional Food­ service Management Program ( IFM ) .

The task force , convened by FACS Dean Richard Barham, is part ofHAFA's review of the IFM program, one of two majors offered in the Bachelor of Commerce honors program.

Included on the task force are the preside n t an d executive vic e ­ president of Canada's two largest institutional foodservice management firms as well as the vice-president of the country's largest nursing home chain.

Discussion focused on intermediate and long-term plans of HAFA faculty.

The task force supports curriculum revisions designed to strengthen the nutrition and b iological science components of the IFM major. The program prepares graduates for intern­ ships as adn inistrative dietitian s, although some graduates choose to follow careers in institutional food · service outside dietetics.

The task forc e al so suppo rt s graduate training in ad ministration for dietetic professionals. There is a need for such a progran1among thera­ peutic dietitians seeking to shift their field of practice [Q administration, and among administrative dietitians who wish to improve their qualifi­ cations. The task force also feels that a master's degree would be an appro­ priate alternat ive to a dietetic internship.

The task force discussed the need for programs of continuing pro­ fessional education. It supports proposals to develop more courses in continuing education as it relates [Q administrative dietetics.

Members of the task force agreed to continue to serve as a resource group to HAFA's IFM programs.

NESTLE SUPPORTS FACS

WITH GIFT TO THE CAMPAIGN

N estle Enterprises Ltd. is cele­ brating 100 years in Canada by making a major cont ribution to fac ilities and p rogram s at the nivers ity. The company has committed 5500,000 to The Campaign in support of FACS. Of the half- million -do llar gift, 8325 ,000 will be used for tcaching and research facilities - the Nestle food service case teaching suite and the Nestle sensory evaluation labora­ tory in the planned addition (Q the building.

Nestle president Ian Murray, OAC ' 56, a me mber of the Board of Governors, says Nestle was looking for a way to create a permanent reflection of its commitment to the

Canadian consumer and the food service industry.

"This isn't just a one-time uruversity grant," he says. "Besides underwriting the costs of the two new facilities, our company will be prOviding on­ going support for programs and seminars to be held at Guelph for many years to come. We expect that forming this partnership will benefit both parties."

The remaining S175,000 will pro­ vide continuing support for programs and research related to food, nutrition and hospitality management. A faculty com mittee from FACS is making recommendations for use of these funds.

CSS GRAD AIMS FOR OLYMPIC GOLD

Andre Bordeleau, C5S '79, M.A. '85, is determined to earn an Olympic gold medal in running game target shooting - no matter how long it takes. " It may take a long time. I'm a late bloomer but I figure I have another 20 years to try. Age is not a big problem in my sport and at least J didn't have to sacrifice my childhood to get where I am today," says the 30-year路old political science graduate.

Running game target requires the shooter, using a .22-caJibre rifle , to hit a ''wild pig" moving on a 10-metre rail at 7.2 mph , 14.4 mph, or mixed speed 路, fro m a distance of 50 metres.

There are many different versions of the sport, but the Olympic discipline consists of 30 shots at the slower speed (slow runs ) and 30 at the faster speed ( fast runs ).

Andre Bordeleau, CSS 79, M.A. '85, is aimingfor O~yrnpic gold in running game target shooting.

The CSSAlumniAssociation cut a cake during Alumni Weekend to celebrate its 10th anniversary. Taking part were, lef t to right, Sandra Couch and Barbara Chance, board directors,john A/viano, newpresident and his wife Inara, and facui~y advisor Victor Ujim% .

Andre became captivated by the sport of shooting when he had a job as an offi cial d river at the L976 Olympics in Montreal.

"Like most French-Canadian boys I wanted to p lay hockey for the Montreal Canadiens. I have the size - 6-feet-l and 2 15 pounds - bUl there is a problem. I can't skate.

Something to do with small curvatures in my spine; nothing serious, but enough to throw out my balance. So, since I cou ldn't be a professional hockey player, I decided to become an Olympic amateur athlete."

In pursuit of his goal, Andre left his home in Montreal to study at the niversity of Guelph in 1976. "I wanted to srudy some place, like Ontario, where I could become bi颅 lingual and Guelph was one of only three universities in the province with a rifle range," he explains. The University of Guelph Rifle Team won three Ontario championships from 1979-81 .

Andre started out on the University's rifle team, shooting at stationary tar路 gets, bu t decided to concentrate on running gan1e because it is more suited to his "hyperactive" personality. He went to the Canadian championships in 1977 and placed ninth. At a national competition in 1981 , he set two Canadian records, one of which stood for three years. In 1984, he won the provincial championships and set a provinci al record which still stands.

Also in 1984, he was invited to the Olymp ic trials and, despite sustaining a concussion in a car accident on the first day of shooting, he placed third.

Unfortunately, only the first and second place winners qualifi ed for the Olympics.

In 1986, Andre wen t to his first international match , the World Championships in East Gemlany. He shot below his average and placed 46th in the 10 metre air rifle event, an indoor scaled-down version ofmnning game target. " 1 was disappointed but I learned a lot. Before I went, [wasn't ranked in

the world at all. At least now I'm ranked," he says.

Undaunted, he is currently training for the 1988 Olympics with national running game target team coach Dick Esseltine of Peterborough and he tries to practise at the Guelph rifle range eve'1' day.

Running game target shooting re­ quires concentration, physica l stamina, eye-band co-ordination and balance . But staying in financial shape is a bigger challenge for Andre than staying physically fit. Unable to find a job relating to his degrees, he works as a night supervisor at Stonehenge, a drug rehabilitation c e ntre near Guelph. While he meets his li"ing expenses, he is struggling to pay back stude nt lo ans and keep up with expenses incurred as an amateur athlete.

Although he estimates he "has dug a 860,000 hole" since m aki ng the move to Guelph and devoting himself to shooting, he has no regrets. He says Guelph has been a good experience culturally and linguistically. He views it as the place where he started a rich amateur career and, as he plods on toward Olympic gold, he takes satis­ faction in his many smaller accom­ plishments.

"I believe in pursuing excellence.

I've set the ultimate goal ( OLympic gold) and I'm going to do my best to achieve it."

GROWING DEMAND

A high demand for industrial psycho­ logists in Canada has led the Depart­ ment of Psychology to introduce a new graduate option.

I ndllstriallOrganizaliorud Psycho­ logy is being added to the master's program for specialized training which could lead to work in personncl management, job dcsign and analysis, organizational consulting or health and safety in the workplace.

The demand for industriaL PSTcho­ logists has been brought about by rapidly changing technology, business growth, and legislation in the areas of workplace safety, human rights, equal pay amI equal employment opportuni­ ties. Because there are few structured graduate programs in Canada to meet this need, industrial psychologists have receiyt:d their training in the US. Othe rs have trained themselves on the job.

Steven Cranshaw, who earned his Ph.D. in industrial / organ izational

psychology at the University ofAkron, is developing the new program at Guelph. He was formerly at thc Univer­ sity o f Waterloo and is currently chairman of the industrial/organiza­ tional section of the Canadian Psycho­ logical Association.

The department is also pursuing a joint Ph.D. program in industrial! organizational psychology with the University of Waterloo. It will offer training to the highest professionaJ standards in orth America.

Dr. Cranshaw says a 1986/87 survey done by Canada Employment and Immigration lists industrial/ organi:l3­ tional psychology as an area of high job demand in the near future . As graduates of the Guelph program become finnly established in the work force, it will become readily apparent that this University is pLaying a major ro le in improving the quality of working life.

WHAT'S NEW IN THE DEPARTMENTS?

POLITICAL STUDIES: In September, the department will introduce a dis­ tance education diploma program in Pub li c Policy and Administrat ion taught by Professor Richard Phidd.

The comprehensive program, con­ sisting of 10 courses at the under­ graduate level , will provide an inte llectuaJ component to the work­ place experiences of profeSSionals.

Distance education makes the depart ­ ment's programs and courses more widely available to people in the work force .

ECONOMICS: Professor Louis

Christofides is the new department chairman. A major change which will take place LInder his direction is the establishme nt of a Ph.D. program in resource and environmental econo­ mics. Professor Christofidcs aJso plans to oversee a review of the under­ graduate program. He says the review will determine whether an appro­ priate core course sequence is in place and whether the curriculum can be improved. More spacc, and the recmitment of quality facu lty and graduate students are also among his goals.

GEOGRAPHY: The birth of Professor Barry Smit's daughter March 3 had some frantic moments. Hanna was born in the family car as the harried father-to-be sped through the night to Guelph General Hospital. She was dubbed "Speedy Sm it" by the hospital staff and is a sister for two-year-old Emily. Mother Ruth Ann and the baby came through the experience none the worse for wear, but Professor Smit m ust have been glad to get back to the old routine of classes and lectures. At least they're fairly predictable!
