Affairs and Development,

Editor's Note The University is proud ofits many fine athletes - present and past. And the Guelph Alumnus is proud to feature some of these athletes in tIllS issue, beginning with Gryphon wide receiver (number 25) Al Anonech, CSS '87, on the cover (photographed by John Majorossy). Al played high school football at Sherwood Secondary School in Hamilton and jWlior football with the IIamilton Hurricanes. He has been with the Gryphons the past three seasons, starting with the Vanier Cup team in 1984.

Despite the Gryphons' Homecoming loss this year, Al set an Ontario University Athletic Association (OUAA) record for most catches in a game with 13 catches for 122 yards.

He was also nanled a first tcanl OUAA all-star and a second team all-Canadian. Al hopes to play pro ball in the future.

The Gryphons ended the 1986 season in sccondplace and played the Western Mustangs for the Yates Cup (OUAA championship ) November 8. 'The Mustangs de­ feated the Gryphons 49-21 to advance to the Atlantic Bowl.

Several Gryphons received honors in 1986. Louie Godry was named a first team all-Canadian for the second year in a row and also won the J.P. Metras trophy as the most outstanding Universiry lineman in the country. Gus AJevizos was named a first team OUAA all-star and a second leam aU-Canadian. Darryl Skuse was named a first team OUAA all-star. Mike McL'lrnon and Mike Knighton were named second team OUAA all stars.

Inside you can find coverage of the traditional Homecoming football game, the AJumni Stadium mortgage burning and tIle Hall ofFame dinner which honored some of the University's outstanding athletes from previous years. lbere is also a story on two wrestlers and a rower, all fornler students at Guelph, who won medals in the Commonwealth Games this past slimmer.

Alumni Weekend will be here again before we know it and inside there is a preview of some events YOll can expect. The spring issue will feature a full progranl insert with complete details.

Alumni have responded with enthusiasm and generOSity to the capital campaign for the University of Guelph.

Alumni volunteers are visiting personally with fellow alumni across the country to teU them about the opportunities for investing in the niversity. There is "something for everyone" in The Campaign, from athletic facilities to new research initiatives. The Alumni Division has a goal of $6 million toward The Campaign target of $60 million.

A very active Phone/Mail cam足 paign is proceeding simultaneously with the personal solicitations to selected alumni. This program, a new concept for Guelph, has met with tremendous success. In the fLrst 13 weeks, srudent callers raised S309,740 from Arts alumni and $346,127 fro m CBS and Human Kinetics alumni.

"Overall, 41 per cent ofthe alumni contacted arc saying yes (to a request for a donation). This is an outstanding re ponse because these are largely people who are making their first donation to the University," says Sue Egles, director of the phone-mail program. The average donation has been $322 over The Campaign's five 足 year period.

During a 21-month period from the start of the Phone/Mail canvass in September 1986, all alwnn.i, with the exception ofthose who will be visited personally, will receive a phone call.

If you haven't been called yet, get your questions ready for the student caller.

The alunmi volunteer effort is being spearheaded by two dynamic indi 足 viduals, Bill Winegard and Harry Seynlour. Dr. Winegard is well known to Guelph alumni, having served as the second president ofthe University from 1968 to 1974. A d istinguished metallurgist, he is recognized for his consu lting work with many national and international companies. Dr. Winegard is MP for Guelph. " It has become increasingly clear

-

that governments are not able LO finance all the needs of universities.

More than ever before, it will be the alumni who will be called upon [0 make the difference between a mediocre university and a good one. I have said many times that great alumni make great universities. It is still true today," says Dr. Winegard.

Harry Seymour graduated from OAC in 1961, went on to the University of Toronto for a degree in engineering and later earned an MBA from The University of Western Ontario. He is president of Dominion Securities Investment Management Inc ., Toronto.

"Guelph's uniqueness as an academic institution is in part a

function of its long-standing com足 mitment to the betterment of the citizens of the global village. This commitment carries with it an awesome responsibility necessitating our (alumni , students, faculty) generous fmancial support," says Mr. Seymour.

A committee has been formed in each College to plan and implement a strategy and present The Campaign to alumni. The committee chairmen are: Arts - Linda McKenzie-Cordick, 'SI, executive secretary, Dean's Office, College of Arts, Guelph; CBS - Keith Harris, '77, materials manager, Moore Business Forms, Fergus; CPS -Dr. AR.

HOMECOMING '86

GLORY DAYS

t may have rained on the Homecoming '86 parade October 4, but that didn't dampen the spirits of those who participated. Organized by the Central Student Association ( CSA ) , the parade preceded the Guelph Gryphons . York Yeomen football game. Sixteen floats loaded with soggy cheering students were pulled through the city and campus on flatbeds . The OAC engineers' float was the most appropriate for the weather. It featured Noah's Ark with a banner proclaiming" oah was an engineer". But the Maritime Hall entry, complete with 15-foot orange fish, proved victorious in the competition for best lOOking float.

The traditional Homecoming ganle could easily have been dubbed the "Aqua Bowl" or "Mud Bowl". The rain didn't let up until the second half but 2,500 umbrella-laden fans cheered the Gryphons as they entered the game with a record of three wins, no losses. Although the Gryphons led 17 -16 after three quarters, they uffered their nrst loss of the season by finally dropping a 26-17 decision to the Yeomen.

Prior to the game, students released 800 balloons to mark the kick-off of the campus United Way canV"J.ss. At half-time, the mortgage for Alumni Stadium was burned. The Department of Athletics had been paying about 89,000 a year to retire the mortgage, and alumni paid the outstanding balance of $3,000 in honor of Homecorrting. Bill Mitchell OAC '38, who was director of Athletics from 1946-78 and one of the key figure ' behind building the stadium, was a special guest at the ceremony. Others taking part were Ross Parry, CSS '80, president of the GAA, Mike Wallace, president of the CSA, David Copp, Director of Athletics, and Marjorie Millar, director ofAlumni Affairs and Development.

"The debt that alumni have retired for us is going to make a difference in programming," said David Copp.

"Funds that had been allocated for

4

mortgage payments now can be used for programs for students, faculty and staff. "

Two hundred and twenty-five people attended the Gryphon Club Hall of Fame dinner in Peter Clark Hall the night before the Homecoming game to honor outstanding University athletes from previous years. Leo Cahill, general manager of the Toronto Argonauts, was the guest speaker.

Inducted into the Hall of Fame this year were the late Ted Wildman, OAC '22; Murray Atkinson, OAC '60; Nick Schad, OVC '68; Joy Strauen, CBS (HK) '70; and Dave Lane, Arts '76.

Ted Wildman was on the chanlpionship football team in 1919 and 1920 and was wrestling champion in 1922. Murray Atkinson was a two足 time "Athlete of the Year", 1959-60, played football and basketball and was with the football team at the first Atlantic Bowl. Nick Schori was an Ontario University Athletic Asso足 ciation (0 AA) champion wrestler, competed in the Commonwealth

She won two Women's Intercollegiate Athletic Union championship events and set the WIAU record for the 200-yard freestyle in 1968-69. Dave Lane was the 1973 aUM all-star leading rusher and the 1974 All-Canadian. He was drafted by the Hamilton Tiger Cats.

The inductees were presented with plaques. Duplicate plaques are hung on the Hall of Fame wall in the Athletic Centre. A second wall is

devoted to "builders" and two new builders were honored at the '86 dinner. They are faculty advisers Jack Cote, avc '51 , a Wildman Trophy winner who now chairs the Wildman Trophy selection corrunittee, and Jim Stevens, Physics, who has served on the OUM executive, the aUM judi足 cial committee and the University's athletics advisory council.

the 52 Wildman Trophy winners from past years, including Bill Mitchell who received the trophy in 1937 up to the most recent winncr, John Godry, who received the trophy in 1985. This group also included Pre足 sident Burt Matthews who received the trophy in 1946. Fourtcen members of the 19')9 Atlantic Bowl winning team were present at the dinner as well ,

Many of the 2,500 fans who tumed out for the Homecoming '86 game got into the spirit Of things by dressing up - or in this case, down

Rain couldn't hamper the enthusiasm of the Gryphon cheerleaders who turned out in their new uniforms to support the home team.

ALUMNUS CONTRIBUTES TO

WINE APPRECIATION

Wine consumption in Canada was less than three bottles per capita in 1964. By 1985, it was over 12 bottles per capita. While Canadians still have a long way to go to catch up with the French and Italians who consume well over 100 bottles per capita, wine appreciation is growing in this country . Contributing to this appreciation is Don Ziraldo, OAC '71 , president of lnniskillin Wines Inc., the Canadian finn which attracted attention inJuly 1975 when it received the first winery licence to be issued in the Niagara area in more than 50 years.

The idea for lnniskillin was born in 1973 when Karl Kaiser went to buy grape vines from Don who was running a nursery business in the Niagara Peninsula. Karl had learned the art of wine-making during his student days in an Austrian monastery and was making wine at home on a small scale. Don had learned to appreciate fine wine from his Italian father who had made wine at home as well.

In 1974, Don invested $40,000 in some used wine-making equipment and set up a smail workshop in an old barn on his nursery property where Karl could apply his expertise. Setting up InniskiHin as a 50-50 partnership, using only premium grapes and charging $5 for a 750-ml bottle 足 almost twice the price charged by its Canadian competitors - Don and Karl met with great success. First year sales reached 1,000 bottles and by 1983, sales had grown to 83 million.

In 1984, however, world wine prices dropped due to a bounteous grape harvest. The French franc also plummeted so Canadians could buy imported French wine for about the same price as Inniskillin's. The firm's sales fell 30 per cent in the first quarter. In response to this, the entire marketing stragegy was revised and Braeburn House wine was introduced at $5.40 a bottle - 10 cents less than the popular imports Don had targeted as competition. The fum also raised

6

its adverrising budget to reach the large-volume/low-priced market for house wines. 'The new house wine added the extra revenue needed to annual sales in 1985 and InniskiUin has now also gone back into the premium market in a strong way.

Don continues his ties with his Alma Mater, occasionally giving presentations on business in general and the wine business specifically, to students at the University. He attended the autumn wine tasting held by fellow alumnus Bob Desautels, HAFA '75, Arts '84, at La Maison restaurant and wine bar in Guelph in honor that establishment's first year in business.

"Bob owns a high quality restaurant in the community and I am pleased to lend my support. Whenever Guelph calls, I try to be there," says Don. Although Bob, a sessional lecturer teaching beverage management in the HAFA program , says wine appreciation is growing in this country. he is frustrated by the Canadian approach to drinking in

Don Ziraldo, OAC 71 and Bob Desautels, HAFA 75, Arts '84

general. He feels there is still a back足 lash from the "wino image" of sweet and sickly wine being a cheap way to drink. He says wine should be considered a food . He also says that this country can produce quality wine, a fact proven by Inniskillin.

"Whether we can malee a great wine, we'll know in another 20 years. It will take lhal long for the fruit to mature and for the wine maker to develop his distinctive style."

"Wine making falls somewhere between science and art, with romance stuck in between," suggests Bob. "You can rcally taste the love put into some wines by the people who make them."

ALUMNI INVITED TO COLLEGE ROYAL

SandwiChed between the snows of February and the showers of April, March has few delights to offer. But a high point of that dismal month is College Royal and it would not be complete without the visits of alumni.

To assist visiting alumni with questions about what events are taking place and their times and locations, the University of Guelph Alumni Association will have a display and information centre located in the courtyard of the University Centre during the College Royal Open House weekend March 13, 14 and IS.Alumni can also find out about bus tours of the campus at this information area.

Alumni are invited not only to visit College Royal but to participate as well. The alumni square dancing competition has become an annual event and this year will be held on

Sunday, March 15 The competition is open to all alumni from the Univer足 sity but the sets need not be made up totally from alumni. So, come on out and have some fun.

For further information, please contact Cathy Wrightson. P.O. Box 483461, niversity of Guelph, or (519) 837-0662.

ELDERHOSTEL

ADDED TO SUMMER

PROGRAMMING

I

n keeping with its " life -long learning" philosophy, the University will add Elderhostel to its summer programming this year, providing a unique educational experience for people in their sixties and older.

One-week courses on the Victorian Era in Guelpb, the Wonder of Birds, and Apiculnlre, have been organized by the Continuing Education division and will be taught on campus June 14-19 and repeated June 21-26.

"Inspired by the youth hostels of Europe , the Elderhostel network includes over 850 colleges and uni足 versities in Canada and the U.S.," explains Mark Waldron, director , School of Part-Time Studies and Continuing Education.

Participants live on campus for one week or more and take up to three non-credit courses taught by the institution's faculty. Courses often explore some aspect of the host country's culture and history or deal "With subjects on which the institution has particular expertise.

"Elderhostel will allow adult learners to meet University ofGuelph faculty, participate in campus activities and enjoy the beauty of the University by actually living on campus," says Professor Waldron.

The program encourages the traditional hosteling experience and tries to appeal to people who have an adventuresome spirit . It invites participants to schedule an ambitious summer of educational hosteling, traveling from one campus to another or integrating a number of weeks of Elderhostel into a longer trip. A" the Guelph program follows Elderhostel courses offered at the University of Waterloo, participants could spend two weeks or more in this area.

Canadian Elderhostel courses "Will be offered this year for $240 per week, which includes room and board, use of campus facilities and a variety of extracurricular activities. Registra足 tions are now being accepted by Elderhostel Canada which hosted more than 4,000 hostelers in 1986 and expects to attract 7,000 this summer.

WRESTLERS, ROWER WIN MEDALS

AT COMMONWEALTH GAMES

Three former Guelph students distinguished themselves while re ­ presenting Canada at the Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh, Scotland this past summer. Wayne Brightwell, CPS '82, of Guelph won a gold medal in the 130·kg class offree­ style wrestling; Doug Cox of Elora received a silver in the 90-kg class of the same sport; and Heather Hartin, CBS ( HK) '84, ofMississauga claimed a bronze in light-weight single scull rowing.

Wayne and Doug both started wrestling in high school and began serious competition at Guelph under coach Londo Iacovelli. Prior to the Commonwealth Games, Doug com­ peted in two World Championships, placing seventh in Edmonton in 1982 and ninth in Budapest, Hungary in 1985. Wayne went to the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles.

On their way to the Commonwealth Games, Wayne and Doug had to win at the Nationals in Winnipeg to get favorable positions in the trials in Montreal. At the Games, Wayne earned his gold after wrestling Scotland's Albert Patrick into submission in less than four minutes, winning the bout 12-0. Points are awarded for various successful moves - four points being the maximum at any onc time - and a bout is stopped if one competitor gains at least at 12-poim advantage.

The bouts last a maximum of six minutes.

Doug won a silver medal, losing to Noel Loban of England in the final.

Wayne and Doug continue to train with the Guelph Wrestling Club under new coach Gary Gardiner at the UniverSity's Athletic Centre. Doug, a self-employed carpenter, plans to compete in wrestling events until 1988. He participated in the World Championships in Budapest in October, placing tenth and will aim for the Pan-American Games this year.

Wayne says he is too busy with his work as a lab supervisor at Agri-Food Laboratories to devote the time it

A gold medal at the Commonwealth Games was a good way to wrap lip his competing days. "I would like to have done the same thing at the Olynlpics but you can't have everything," he concludes.

Uke Wayne and Doug, Heather took an interest in her sport in high school. During her second year with her school's rowing program in Mississauga, she becafi'\e part of the Canadian Youth Teanl which com­ peted in the WorJd Youth Champion­ ships in Moscow. At that event, she came eighth in double cull rowing.

In 1983 at the Pan-American Games in Caracas, Venezuela, she placed second in double scull rowing. In 1984 she W('11t to the Olympics in Los Angeles as a spare for the Canadian rowing team but didn't get a chance to compete. In 1985 at the World

Championships in Belgium, she placed seventh in quadruple scull rowing.

In order to compete in the Commonwealth Games in 1986, Heather had to beat Janice Mason, one of Canada's tOp scullers, at the trials in Victoria, S.c.

Two things were differeOl for Heather in 1986 competition. First, women were now expected to row 2,000 metres in competition as opposed to the previously set distance of 1,000 metres. Second, Heather competed in the light-weight division for the first time. At five feet , seven inches and 130 pounds, she had always been on the light side for the heavy-weight division in which she had competed.

At the Commonwealth Games, Heather won her bronze medal in light-weight single scull rowing behind competitors from Australia

and New Zealand, who won gold and silver respectively. Three weeks later she placed seventh in light-weight single scull rowing in the World Championships in Nottingham, England. She plans to compete in the World Championships again this spring.

While attending the University of Guelph, Heather played on a few intramural sports teams and went home to Mississauga very weekend to rowan the Credit Rjver. She says she studied hard so she would have time to row. Because she had to take the winter off to train in Victoria for the Olympics, she got special per­ mission from the University to complete her degree by corres­ pondence. She is now working on her Masters in biomedical engineering at the University of Toronto and hopes to find a job with flexible hours to suit her training schedule. She is usually on the water from April to December The other three months she lifts weights, runs, cross country skis, swims and practises on an indoor

"I thought I'd reLire (from com­ petition ) after 1984 but I'm just taking it year by year now," says Heather.

UNIVERSITY OFFERS $16,000

PRESIDENT'S SCHOLARSHIPS

T en new entrance awards at the University of Guelph recognize

academic ability and social respon­ sibility. At $16,000 each ( 4,000 annually for an honors program), the President's Scholarships are the largest monetary awards given by this institution and some of the largest entrance awards in Canada.

President Burt Matthews believes it is important to attract students with a well-de eloped sense of social responsibility as well as a keen intel­ lect. The awards will attract young people with leadership abilities from across the country.

"These are the people who will be the leaders of our society. A few years down the road we can expect them to be making marks in their chosen careers and in their communities," the president says.

Gerry Davidson, Assistant RcgistrJr, Awards, explains (hat the Presiden['s ScholarShips are designed to attract the same sort of student that the

University now recognizes on graduation with the prestigious Winegard Medal. in both cases, Guelph is interested in the all-round person.

Dr. John Root, CPS '81, M.Sc. '83, Ph.D. '86, now working in neutron and solid state physics at Atomic Energy of Canada's Chalk River Nuclear I.abOf'dtOry, was the Winegard medalist in 1981 He says of the Uruversity's scholarship program, 'Tm glad Guelph feels there is more to a student than marks. It ays something about the character ofthis institution that it wants to turn out a well­ rounded person who can contribute to the community.

Dr. Tim Henshaw, OVC '79, the Winegard medalist in 1979, and now a veterinarian working with United Breeders in Alliston, says students can get locked into the academic side of their university careers at the expense ofalllhe other opportunities available to them . About his time at Guelph , he says, "1 derived a lot of

benefit from the extra-curricular activities which have helped me work with people and see difterent points of view. In many instances, it's not what you get out of your education that's important, but what you put into it," he says.

Nominations for the President's Scholarships must be made by hlgh school principals, and submitted to Gerry Davidson by April 1. The first 10 awards will be announced inJune.

UNIVERSITY'S LAND DEVELOPMENT PLAN

At a time when universities are finan ­ cially strained, it is important to make the best use ofall available resources.

To do this, the University ofGuelph is considering development of some of its lands.

President Burt Matthews says that as the University begins its five-year, S60-million fund-raising campaign, it is important to let the community know that the institution is doing its best to raise funds from its own resources. "We can't ask others to help us maintain our high calibre in teaching and research if we aren't doing our best to use the assets we already have," he says.

The University carried out an analysis of its land holdings and presented a report to the Board of Governors called "Guidelines for the Uses of on-Core University Property."

The report said lands outside the campus core are surplus to the University's long-term academic needs and recommended that these lands be sold or leased as appropriate.

Last summer, the University announced the hiring of real estate director John Armstrong on a three­ year consulting contract He reports to a committee that includes the preSident, vice-president (adminis­ tration) and two members of the Board of Governors.

In addition to its core campus of 850 acres, the University owns 240 acres adjacent to the campus, 27 houses - mostly used as office space - and about 1,800 acres in sur­ rounding townships.

The land olltside the city includes the 980-acre Cruickston Park farm near Cambridge, the 219-acre farm at Eramosa, which is being used as a veterinary research station until the new Ponsonby Station is completed, and the 464 acre Puslinch site ( sec accompanying story ). Cruickston is not being considered for development.

As development of a specific pack­ age is conSidered, the University will invite the involvement of conmlllnity members in decisions regarding development activities. This has already been done for the first phase of the Stone Road East property

10

( number 3). 'The Guelph properties are described below.

1. Stone Road Mall - Holiday Inn property - 'nlis 45-acre package of land was leased to Sifton Pro­ perties in the mid 1970s for commercial development.

2. Techno-Business Park - This 40­ acre site, south ofSrone Road and west ofGordon Street, is designed to accommodate tenants who complement the University's re­ search and teaching roles. Agri­ culture Canada'sAnimaJ Pathology Division is already established on this land and Semex Canada is planning to build.

3. Stone Road East - This lOO-acre site has been split into two parcels.

A 28-acre package behind the College Motor Inn is plalU1ed for

low-density housing. Development options for the remainder of the site are still being considered.

4. Stone Road opposite the Stone Road Mall - This 26-acre package of land, bounded on two sides by commercial development, will pro­ bably be used for commercial and residential development.

5 Edinburgh Road between College Avenue and Stone Road - Two parcels of seven and 22 acres that may be developed for residenrial use (College and Edinburgh ), separated by the Dairy Bush Hill, which is not slated for develop­ menr.

6. Cutten Club - This is not being considered for development.

The University has been a major shareholder since 1982.

U PUSLINCH CONTROVERSY

T

he University of Guelph is pressing on with plans for a sand and gravel pit operation on a University-owned property bordering the south side of Highway 401 at the Hanlon Expressway.

The plan to turn the property into an operation generating income from "aggregate" (gravel) made media headlines last fall and drew both

support and opposition from Guelph aJumni and the public.

"I know that many alumni have become aware of the University's plan to develop the property in Puslinch Township for aggregate extraction, and I want to give the Univcrsit}~s position on this matter," said President Burt Mauhews in a November interview.

The lands are designated "extrac­ tion" under the township's existing official plan, said Dr. Matthews. But under its new official plan, adopted by council September 3, 1986, and subject to Ontario Municipal Board approval, the designation would be changed to "agriculture." The Univer­ sity filed an application for rezoning to "aggregate extraction" with the township September 3.

Charges that the University is using "choice" or "prime agricultural land" are unfounded, said Dr. Matthews, an OAC '47 graduate and soil scientist.

The land is Class 2, low Class 2, Class 3 and Class 5. The Class 2 land has

low fertility and low water-holding capacity. The land is now used by OVC for grazing and by research station services for feed production.

Dr. Matthews said this has been a well-researched project that has included extensive hydrogeological studies. These concluded that the operation would not have a discernible impact on ground water levels and that ground water quality should not be affected. This is a sand and gravel pit operation, not a quarry, said Dr. Matthews. There will be no blasting; it is a drag line and bucket operation.

The potential royalty incomc to the University from the operation is

unknown. What is known is that there are about 25 million tonnes of aggregate to he dug out over a 20- to 25-year period .

The land in Puslinch Township offers "a golden opportunity for researd1," said Dr. Matthews. The pro­ perty can become a unique research and demonstration facility to study how aggregate extraction can be carried out with minimal effects on the environment, he said.

After extraction is completed, the site can also be an important demonstration station and teaching laboratory for various kinds ofafteruse or rehabilitation research, he said.

GRYPHON GRYPE

Dear Editor, Thank you for publishing "What's in a name" by Beth Norton (summer 1986 edition ). I found this to some extent illuminating, but I am still in the dark about some matters.

1) Has Bill Mitchell, OAC '38 read Alice in Wonder/and, or did he

become aware of the gryphon only by seeing a "catalogue of an English manufacturer"?

2) Why was it necessary to ask permiSSion of the manufacturers to use the gryphon as a s-ymbol, in view of the fact that it is the emblem of Trinity College, Oxford University?

3) How is the word pronounced?

It is synonymous with griffm and should have the same pronunciation.

I am afraid that my exposure to the aforementioned Alice in Wonderland has conditioned me to regard the prancing Gryphon as the rather ludic rOlls companion of the equally absurd Mock Turtle. So I "thank the whiting kindly, but) shall not join the dance."

This letter is intended, hopefully, to provoke discllssion among your readers. I question the appropriate­ ness of using the "gryphon" as a totem for the University of Guelph. It is true that the students of the Santa Cruz campus of the University of California have voted to call them­

selves "Banana Slugs", but at least banana slugs are not mythical.

Sincerely,

Thomas H.]ukes, OAC '30, D.Sc., H.C.

University of California, Berkeley

BILL MITCHELL'S RESPONSE The suggestion that the gryphon be used as asymbol was not mine but that of Fred Gilbert, M.Sc. '66, Ph.D. '68. I simply submitted a design to be considered along with many others.

The design I submitted was chosen from a number of entries - some of which resembled very much the gryphons illustrated in Alice in Wonderland. Because my entry was copied from a styLized version used as a "logo", I felt it was in the best interests of the University and myself to seek permission to use it. Some companies register their logos.

Since I am answering questions raised by the first editor of the "OACIS", the forerunner of what is now the "Ontarion", I must be careful.

According to my rather old copy of the fourth edition of the Condse Oxtord Dictionary ofCurrent English, the words griffin, griffon and gryphon all have the same pronunciation, but there are several differem meanings.

Griffin, griffon, gryphon all mean fabulous mythical creature with Eagle's head and wings, and lion's body; a griffin is a newly arrived European, novice, greenhorn; and a

griffon is a kind ot foreign coarse­ haired terrier-like dog.

The gryphon has been around so long and appeared in so many vari­ ations, it is little wonder that it has changed in personality and shape. At the University of Guelph we are inclined to accept the early interpretation of the gryphon as a guardian of ancient treasures. The gryphon described more recently in Alice in Wonderland or in Varnel Lindsay's poem "Yet Gentle Will the Griffin Be" ( What Grandpa Told The Children), in which the griffin is a chubby tall-taled animal, lapping up the Milky Way, is not for the Univeristy of Guelph teams.

At Guelph we have an athletics governing body referred to as the Athletics Advisory Council. This council is made up of students and faculty and it was their decision to change the name from Redmen to Gryphons. I feel that some of our old grads, including possibly yourself and myself, would have favored going back to Aggies.

Best wishes for success in pro­ moting discussion about the Gryphon name. Heaven forbid that we follow the pattern of the students at Santa Cruz ("Banana Slugs") just to avoid using a name that is mythical. How about "Tomato Wonns"?

FIVE YEAR PLAN SAYS

CPS NEEDS NEW EQUIPMENT

T he College of Physical Science moved forward in research, teaching and service over the last five years, even though resources were stretched thin, says former CPS dean and now vice-president, academic, Jack MacDonald. These developments should continue over the next five years, he says, but there must be some acknowledgement that the College needs new equipment and space.

CPS's five year plan states that it will not be passive in "the battle for ... discretionary University resources."

The College's resource needs are capital-intenSive, because research equipment is rendered obsolete quickly, says the plan. And the College needs more space: "We have ex­ hausted virtually all possibilities for creating additional useful space from within, yet we will require consider­ able space in the next five-year period, as our graduate programs devdop and expand."

Professor MacDonald says his term as dean involved "an attempt to make sure that resources go as far as they could" in the College, but added it was not an easy task. Parts of the College have grown faster than others, he says, and the Department of Computing and Information Science in particular has made demands on College resources.

The centrepiece of the College's plans for the next five years is the University's aims document, Toward 2000: Challenges andResponses, Aims of the University of Guelph, which will be used to "drive the College," says Professor MacDonald. Plans at the undergraduate level that will break down the barriers between depart­ ments are now being considered.

Proposed is a plan that will allow high-quality incoming students the opportunity to integrate the study of the elements of chemistry, physics and maths in a single series of courses.

There is still a struggle to build up undergraduate munbers in the College

but Professor MacDonald and his colleagues are encouraged by the emergence of physical science stu­ dents as a viable entity on campus.

CPS students have recently formed a student council.

The College is also moving foward in its graduate progranlS. TIle ideal number of graduate students is 180, according to the five-year plan. The plan says the Department of

Mathematics and Statistics would be well served by a Ph.D . program oriented towards applied mathematics and statistics and the interface bet­ ween the two. The department will develop a proposal for such a program by 1988.

In research, the College plans to capitalize on its strengths in the emerging fidd of nuclear magnetic resonance.

PIXE: APPLIED RESEARCH

FINDS SILVER LINING

By Pamela Healey, Publi Relations and Information Mineral analysis being carried out at Guelph is helping mining companies determine if ores contain commercially extractable anlOunts of trace elements. The technique, used to detect such elements as silver, platinum and rhodium, also allows Physics Professor (ain Campbell and his research group to tell companies whether their samples contain elements that might make extraction difficult.

The scientists use proton-induced x-ray emission (PlXE), which involves firing high-energy protons from a Van de Graaffaccelerator into the minerals.

The nergies and intensities of the emitted x-rays provide a total picture of the elements contained in the ores.

Although the PlXE technique works well, says Professor Campbell, analyses wi II be greatly in1proved with a proton microprobe purchased with funding from NSERC. TheS80,000 microprobe permits examination of very minute structures.

Professor Can1pbell has close links with the Canadian Centre for Mineral and Energy Technology (CANMET) in Ottawa and also an informal link with an equivalent government agency in France.

As part of its mandate, CANMET

has been prOviding expertise and aid to resource companies for years. The process, however, is somewhat convolured, says Professor Campbell.

Mineral sanlples are sent to CANMET for analysis by electron beam, then on to Germany or New Mexico for analysis by proton beam . The information is put on disk and sent to Guelph where University-developed computer software is used for analysis.

Finally, all the information is assembled by CANMET and the results are returned to the company.

Now, with the purchase of the proton microprobe , Professor Campbell says "the mining companies and the Geological Survey will be lined up down Highway 6 waiting to use it.

The in10lediate problem will be to get a second one."

A wide range of uses is already recognized for the electron micro­ probe, says Professor Campbell, and the proton microprobe will add another factor of 100 to the refinement of these without any additional work in specimen preparation.

Professor Campbell says his work on PIXE is a good example ofapplied science spawned by a fundamental research program.

PARTICIPANTS PRAISE ADVANCED

AGRICULTURAL LEADERSHIP

PROGRAM

A new program in Ontario is pre­ paring the rural leaders of today for the challenges tomorrow.

The Advanced Agricultural Leader­ ship Program (AALP) is not a course in farming. It is aimed at developing well -rounded people, skilled in communication, educated in national and world affairs, and familiar with the changing needs of society. It is primarily designed for men and women in the early stages of their leadership careers, usually about 25 to 40 years old. They can be farmers, employees of agriculturally-related businesses or simply individuals committed to Omario agriculture.

By providing continuing education opportunities for those who have already demonstrated leaderShip skill'), the program ensures a pool of knowledgeable and effective leaders in agriculture and rural Omano.

The program is funded through the Agricuimral Leadership Trust, which solicits financial support from the private and public sectors. Repre­ sentatives from the four initiators of the program - the Foundation for Rural Living, the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, and the University of Guelph - act as me Board of Directors for the Trust. The initiators feel that Ontario needs men and women who not only understand their own occupation, but are pre­ pared to deal with the complicated issues in business, economics and government that increasingly impinge on agriculture.

"We live in a world where advances in technology are ahead ofour ability to put these into perspective. The Advanced Agric ulLurai Leadership Program provides the opportunity to view deve lopments from many perspectives and make judgements based on a full range of experience," says OAC Dean Freeman McEwen,

14

Participarlts in the first Advanced AgriculturaL Leadership Program are unanimous in their praise of it. Some of those participants, seen in this photo at a seminar in St. Catharines, are front, left to right, Jeff Wilson, OAC 78A, Rita Vanden Heuvel, FAGS 77 and Hmry Worslry, OAC '80A, and back, left to right, Jim Poel, OAC '8 1 and David McCaig, OAC 71A. chairman of the board of dle Agri­ cultural Leadership Tmst.

The 30 participants in the first AALP ( 1 1 of whom are Guelph alumni) are now finishing their two­ year curriculum. Over those two years, they have devoted 55 days to the program , including 30 days of seminars throughout the province, a two -week travel-study tour to California and Western Canada, and a travel-study tour of Europe.

Seminar topics included: polit)' and decision-making, effective lobbying, internalional trade , business management, labor unions, exchange in commodity markets, foreign aid, money, banking and credit, social welfare, media, taxation, trends in agriculture and socielY, working effectively with volunteers, and environmental issues.

The travel -study to California and

Western Canada provided an oppor­ tunity to examine agricultural prac­ tices there and become more familiar with the American and Western Canadian approach to free trade , economic development and the management of natural resources.

111e travel-study to Europe provided an opportunity to learn how factors relating to international trade and aid projects affect economics of deve­ loped and developing countries. It also created an understanding of the interd epende nce of nations, the probkms ofother countries and their rel ationship to the problems of Canada. The impact of the European Community on member and non­ member countries was a prime focus of the European experience.

Participants in the first AALP are unanimous in their praise of it. David McCaig, OAC '71A, explains, "We

often went home from our sessions exhausted. It was hard work and we had to make a real conunitmt:nt to it.

But all of us were there because we are devoted to the betterment of agriculture."

David, 1986 chairman of the Agri­ culture Advisory Committee for the Federal South Wellington Riding, among many other leadership acti­ vities, says he developed new skills and attitudes through the program which will help him to accomplish certain goals in his own life and in the groups he is involved with. He feels the program turns "people who are pretty good leaders already" into people who are more aware of the issues and also teaches them how to do something about those issues at the government level. "Many of us have taken on new projects as a direct result (of the program)," he says.

Jim Poel, OAC '81 , College Royal President in 1981 , found that the AALP exposed him to a broad range of agricultural and other issues. "It has helped me polish the edges in my personal development, given me new knowledge and many new contacts."

Networking was a benefit cited by many of the participants. "The people

contacts were fantastic," says Harry Worsley, OAC '80A, an Uxbridge Township councillor. 'Tm new to farming and wanted more contacts and intormation and that's what J got."

Rita Vanden Heovel, FACS '77, who works for OMAF and has also worked in a community development project in Edliopia, says exposure to a broad range of issues was a highlight for her. "The discussions prompted critical thinking and challenged your own comfort zones," she says. She feels the program will enable rural leaders to "discover their own solu­ tions and make informed decisions."

Jeff Wilson, OAC '78A, elected second vice-president of the Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Growers' Asso­ ciation in 1986, says there isn't any­ thing about the AALP that hasn't been worthwhile for him. "Even when I'm out in the field or at another meeting, something from one of the program's seminars will hit me," be says.

Ellen Beale, OAC '76, M.Sc. '80, says getting to know the 29 other participants in the program has been great "The network we've formed among ourselves and within the

province has proven invaluable. That includes a political, economic and social network as well as an agri­ cultural one. Since J live in northern Ontario, it has been an important way for me [0 keep in touch with the rest of Ontario."

Sharon Grose, FACS '82, says interaction with people in all walks of agriculture was a valuable part of the progr.un for her. The travel experience made her realize that "it's important to see the other side of the fence . Too often we have tunnel vision."

Other alumni taking part in the tirst AALP were: David Craig, OAC '72A, Neil Craig, OAC '79A, Eleanor Hart, FACS '68, and Cathie Lowry, OAC '78.

A second program has been approved and will conunence in April with 30 new participants. However, the deadline for applications to this program has passed. A new program is scheduled to begin every second year.

For more information about the AALP, contact Pat Mightoo, OAC '64 , at the Guelph Agriculture Centre, P.O. Box 1030, Guelph, Ontario NIH 6Nl; (519) 823-5700 , ext. 209.

MEMORIAL FUND TO STIMULATE

INNOVATIVE IDEAS IN AGRICULTURE

A memorial fund established in the name of Murray Selves, OAC '57, will

support and encourage the development of innovative projects and programs that are of benefit to Ontario farmers. Since Murray was an agricultural leader and an innovator himself, it is fitting that the interest income from a memorial fund be used in this manner. The fund will be in trust at the UniverSity.

Murray's approach was to build 00 current technology and science to develop a functiooal and profitable production system. He was one of the first farmers in Ontario to store grain com in a high moisture state for use as a hog feed. At the same time he began developing a liquid handling system for hog waste. Both these techniques became common practice

and are now standard production procedures.

In 1975 Murray built the ftrst insulated concrete building in Ontario to be used for commercial hog production. In addition to designing and engineering the construction of this bam, he built concrete slatted flooring and equipment in his farm workshop . The techniques he developed are now used by commer­ cial agricultural precast concrete companies in the production of hog and cattle flooring.

In 1980 Murray built one of the first naturally ventilated hog barns in Ontario which also featured a com­ puter controlled feeding system. The system is one of two presently in existence that has the capability of feeding variable rations through the

growing phase and measuring the ani.mals' performance levels. Coupled with this barn and feeding system is a methane digester that produces energy on the farm and to recover bacterial protein for use in livestock feeds from the effluent.

Initially the proceeds of the Murray Selves Memorial Fund will be used to sponsor a portion of the concluding seminar for the first class of the Advanced Agricultural Leadership Program.

Cheques payable to the Murray Selves Memorial Fund may be forwarded to Don Livingston, Department of Alumni Affairs and Development, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario N 1G 2W 1. A receipt for income tax purposes will be forwarded.

OVERPRODUCTION IN

AGRICULTURE DISCUSSED BY

PANEL ON CAMPUS

Overproduction in agriculture was the subject of a World Food Day panel discussion on canlpus October 16, The problem of starvation in a world with huge grain surpluses was iliscussed by a group ofagriculturalists and academics who have worked bom in Canada and the Third World.

Panelist Elbert van Donkersgoed, research and policy director of the Christian Farmers ' Federation , discussed the impact of current agricultural policies on Ontario farolers. Gertie Blake, an Ayton-area faroler and member of Concerned Farm Women, eXa{l1ined the effect of the economic crisis in agriculture on women. Lee Holland, a Guelph animal scien c e graduate who is n ow development secretary for the nited Church's Wor:d Outreach Program, talked about his 10 years experience in Mrica, and Susan Horton, a niver­ sity of Toronto economics professor, discussed the implications of policies

of developed countries for the Third World .

On the world scene, the Canailian government is fifth in terms of con­ tributions to international develop­ ment projects. niversity of Guelph projects in developing countries around the world include fish farming in Costa Rica, training of agriculture and health extension workers in Central and South America and home science teachers in Ghana, food and fibre production in the West Indies, fertilizer production in Tanzania and strengthening of government insti­ tutions in Indonesia.

According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, more than enough food is produced on this planet to meet the m inimum requirements of the population, But political and economic problems continue to be contributing factors in the deaths of an estimated 40,000 children each day from malnutrition .

COMPUTERIZED

MILKING SYSTEM

UPDATES

FACILITIES

A computerized milking system that not only records each cows pro· duction , but provides information on her health status and other pertinent data, was unveiled to the public at the Elora Dairy Research Centre in the fall. The Research Centre is owned by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food and operated by the Uni ­ versity, The milking system records the production at each milking and provides such information as the cows stage in the reproductive cycle and whether her production has dropped Significantly from previous days - a sign of a health problem.

Although there are two or three milking systems sintilar to this one elsewhere in Canada, this is the first of its kind in Ontario, said Minister of Agriculture and Food Jack Riddell, OAC '57, at the unveiling. Andrew Ritchie, product manager for Alfa­ Laval, the fum that installed the equipment over the summer, noted that the system can also relate each cow's daily feed ration to her pro­ duction level, which will help farolers meet their target of lowest cost production.

Professor Frank Hurnik, OAC '71 , dairy research co -ordinator, Department of Animal and Poultry Science at the University, said the system is a step towards better service to the dairy industry and society and will contribute to "expanding our horizons as scientists." He said it will be avJ.ilable to graduate students doing research, President Burt Matthews, who cut the ribbon with Riddell to inaugurate the new system, said the Elora station represents "a tremendous commit· ment of the government to the agri­ cultural industry." This is an example of high technology cOming to agri­ culture , he said, and other developments will become more rapid in the future.

SOCIAL NETWORKS: AN IMPORTANT

INFLUENCE ON THE QUALITY AND

SPAN OF IFE

By Pame la Hea l y, Public Relations and Information Family and friends play an important role both in keeping us physically and mentally healthy and in helping liS cope with illness when it does occur.

Guelph psychology professor Benjamin Gottlieb is interested in the wayprofcssionals can encourage these social networks to contribute even more in helping people overcome life's problems.

Professor Gottlie b says most troubled people first seek help by turning to their own social networks - their friends and relatives. Studies have shown that acute life tresses, such as the death ofa loved one, job loss or divorce, and major turning points in people's lives, such as becoming a parent or retiring, are often followed by mental or physical illness. An accumulation of stresses seems to increase a person's vulnerability to disease. Interaction with friends and family, however can help protect health and prevent the onset of depression or other illnesses.

The functions of the social network include informal diagnosis, referral, support and aftercare, Professor Gottlieb says.

People use their networks as sounding boards to make sense of the way they feel and to obtain an informal diagnosis. Networks give them an idea of the seriousness of their problems and help them decide whether further help is needed. He says people are often unaware they have problems until friends and fanuly let them know something is wrong by saying "you're just not yourself."

Studies that have exami ned people's physical health in relation to their participation in social networks and involvement in the community found that people with many social con­ tacts had death rates two to three times lower than those with few social contacts. Another study found

that people who use their social networks remain mentally healthy despite stressful situations.

Professor Gottlieb says the seU'help movement, now flourishing in North America, is a prime example of informal support. There is hardy an affiiction that doesn't have a mutual aid self-help group formed around it, he says. Groups exist for both sufferers and their fanulies - good examples are AA for alcoholics, AI-Anon for spouses and Alateen for chUdren.

Professor Gottlieb says people need to affiliate with others who are in the same boat. It's not just that misery loves company, but that "mi.<;ery loves, and benefits from, miserable company," he explains.

Professionals now recognize the importance of informal social networks and use them to treat their ownpatients,saysProfessorGottlieb.

A physician , for example, might organize a group of heart attaek victims in the hospital so they can support each other long after professional contact ends. Professor

Gottlieb is very interested in setting up similar interventions that help mobilize or augment support for individuals under stress. Such strategks keep people [rom depending on professionals and institutions, giving them a greater sense of control over their lives, he says. An example of this would be pairing teenage mothers with older women who act as models, mentors, helpers and confidants.

Proft'ssor Gottlieb recognizes that there are also negative aspects to interactions among network mem­ bers. Sometimes support fails to materialize , miscarries or even compounds problems. Cancer patients, for example, sometimes have difficultyobtainingsupponfromcJos;: family members and friends who are threatened by the disease. And people who are severely disturbed, suicidal or depressed scare off network members. Professor Gottlieb's project has been funded by the Social Sciences and lIumanities Research Council, with assistance from the University's Gerontology Research Centre.

The College ofSocial Science named three recipients Of the Alma Maler Fund's 1986 Forstet· Fellowshlps, Named in honorOfthe late president Donald Forstet~ the fellowships rotate annually among the seven colleges. tbe 1986 recipients are Professo1' Bill Graf, Political Studies, for his study of au.thoritarian democracy in West Germany; Professor Bill Nicklin& Geogmphy, for his research on wind erosion processes and land forms; and Professor Dan YmmEry, PsychOlOgy, for his work on psychology and law.

TURTLES STUDIED AT

WILDLIFE RESEARCH STATION

By Da vid A. Calbraith, CBS '82, M.Sc. '86 and Professor Ronald J. Brooks Throughout recorded history, humans have used turtles for practical purposes such as food and raw materials, and for philosophical and religious purposes, as cemral figures in legends and beliefs . .In the mytho~ logy ofancient China for instance, the dragon-turtle, Kwei, was the first creatue to emerge from Chaos, to help bring order to the world.

Today, turtles are perhaps the most fanliliar and prosaic reptile in Ontario.

From a conservation perspective, turtles are a vital part afthe wildlife of wetlands, and yet as a group, they are highly vulnerable to human inter­ ference . Bmh predation by humans, and the less direct, but equally dan1aging destruction of habitat, place at risk these animals whose shells are more than adequate protection against teeth and claws, but ineffective against bulldozers, toxic wastes and traps.

Conservation has been an inlportant aspect of the basic research being carried out by biologists at the Wildlife Research Station on Lake Sasajewun in Algonquin Provincial Park. Founded in 1944 by the Departmem of Lands and Forests, and presently adminis­ tered by a consortium of six Ontario universities and the Ministry of Natur'aJ Resources, the station has provided a research venue and a training ground for graduate and undergraduate students ever since. In the 43-year history of the station, researchers from the University of Guelph and elsewhere have studied ecology, para­ Sitology and behaviour of anin1als ranging from nematodes and insects to mammals and birds. Ule station has also facilitated long-teml research directed at understanding the dynamics ofwild animal populations, focusing on insects, birds, small mammals, moose, deer, furbearers and turtles.

Interest in the turtles living near the station began in the early 1970s when Drs. Brock Patterson, Ph.D., and Dan Loncke, OVC '77, started to

A male snapping turtle shows his displeasure at being I~fted from his preferred surroundings. (Photo by PrOfessor Ronald Brooks) tag female snapping turtles after they had nested on the artificial dam which impounds Lake SasajeWlln . Early snldies monitored nesting in June and hatching of the eggs 90 to 110 days later, and exanlined samples of blood for parasites. In 1975, Martyn Obbard, CBS M.Sc. '77, Ph.D. '83, and Professor Ronald J. Brooks began to study the marked turtlcs using radiotelemetry.

The radiotelemetry research re­ vealed that female snapping turtles, far from being sedentary, often tra­ velled five kilometres or more each year to reach a preferred nesting area.

The large male turtles, on the other hand, were extremely sedentary and year after year occupied the same surprisingly small territories and could find their way "home" quickly if moved to another part of the lake.

The radio transmitters are now being used to study home range and social structure in male turtles in a lake near the research station.

During the remainder ofthe 1970s, Dr. Obbard and Dr. Brooks, assisted by wildlife technician Graham

Nancekivell, CBS '76, and a nwnber of summer field assistants, studied female turtles and their reproductive efforts. During his doctoral research, Dr. Obbard found that the turtles expended a relatively small amount of energy in nesting, producing small clutches of eggs annually for many years . Most egges are eaten by raccoons, skunks and foxes, and those that survive predation have a poor chance of hatching in the short AlgonqUin summer, and almost no hance of overwintering in the nest environment.

Since 1980, we have focussed on two facets of the biology ofthe ttlrtles in Algonquin Park. (n the mid-1970s, biologists discovered that temperature during incubation of eggs is vitally important for reptiles. Even something as basic as the mechanism responsible for determining what sex an adult turtle will be is dependent upon nest temperature. In snapping turtles, for example, if temperatures are relatively warm or cool during one part of development, the embryo will develop into a female , but if during that period, temperatures are intennediate, the embryo will become a male. Our ongOing research is examining the relationship between temperatures in wild nests, automatically monitored, and the sex of the offspring. Similar research was recently conducted by Lin Schwarzkopf, CBS '81, M.Sc. '84 , who stayed at the research station while studying painted turtles in Algonquin Park.

We have also been studying the rate at which turtles grow, and have estimated their age by measuring and counting growth lines which form on the outside ofthe shells during winter when growth is virtually stopped. It takes about 20 years for a female turtle in Algonquin Park to reach adulthood, and possibly longer for males. Their growth slows after they start laying eggs, but in some cases continues on for many years.

COLLEGE ROYAL CBS STYLE

First held in 1981 as part of the CBS tenth anrtiversary celebrations, the annual Egg Drop competition has now been adopted as a CBS/College Royal tradition, The competition was the brainchild of egg-head Dr. Ron Subden ( Microbiology). The idea is to launch a raw egg from three floors above in the University Centre into the capable hands of a partner below. The in足 augural winners were Mark Woolnough, '81 and Dave Flowers, '81, the.first to master the complicated skills involved.

A large lunch-time audience dodged the flying eggs at the competition last year. In the end, the competitors received their complimentary Egg Marketing Board hats and winners Larry Jerome and Andy Jardin (competing as "Drip and Drop") accepted their trophy from event co足 ordinator Sharon Quarrington.

College Royal reaches its climax in the annual weekend Open Ilouse in March. Last year, Saturday morning found three eager judges Professors

Mary Beverley-Burton (Zoology), John Phillips (Molecular Biology and Genetics) and Jim Atkinson, '78 (Nutritional Sciences) accompanied

by CBS Open House co-ordinator Sharon Quarrington, girding their loins in preparation for a cross-campus odyssey from TOxicology to Human Kinetics in search of the best Open House display and best exhibit in the College.

Three hours later, this footsore crew gathered to compare notes and award the garlands. Marine Biology emerged from the depths to claim the coveted Mary Beverley-Burton bullcane in the Open Hou e display category. It was presented in person by the donor . Hard work and imagination transformed a dreary BG&Z laboratory into an undersea world guarded by King Neptune himself and populated by glamorous mermaids and fearsome sea serpents.

In the best exhibit category, honorable mentions were given to both Microbiology and Genetics for admirably informative displays, but Botany received the first prize .

PROFESSOR LARRY PETERSON RECEIVES AWARD Professor Larry Peterson, Botany, is the winner ofthe prestigious College of Biological Science 1986 Teaching Award.

Professor Peterson is the person足 ification of what everyone thinks a university professor ought to be 足 completely devoted to his diSCipline and his students, says fellow Professor Usher Posluszny. "It is not unusual for him to teach all morning and then work with graduate students in the lab aU afternoon and evening."

Professor Peterson, who has been a member of tbe CBS faculty for 18 years, spedalizes in symbiosis between micro-organisms and roots. In addition to teaching four courses, he supervises five graduate students and several undergraduate research project students.

Professor Peterson's nomination recognized his work at both the graduate and undergraduate level, says Professor Posluszny, and it was supported not just by CBS faculty, but by faculty in other coUeges, where the quality of his dedication is known and respected.

PATRICK QUINN: TEACHING IS

THE BEST WAY TO SEE THE WORLD

The following /l'as written by Patrick Quinn, Arts 72.

I

t is difficuJ t to know exactly how to' put together a resume of my life since I left Guelph in ] 972 I studied for my M.A. at Ottawa and Ph.D. at Calgary after I kft, but a constant desire to see the world was always tugging at the hack of my mind .

The pull was to England where I couJd hreathe and fee/the literature I loved in action .

I p[acnl an advert in nIt! Times Education Supplement. It was a masterpiece of rhetoric and much to my surprise I was asked to interviews at fOUl" high schools in England.

The interview process was short; I took the first job offered and began to work three days after I arrived. I lived in a quiet Village in Lincolnshire about four miles from the village where T<:nnyson grew up. I used to ride daily to his home and sit by the stream m:xt to it and read his poetry.

For the first time in my life, the intellectua l clement of study merged with the emotional.

After nearly two terms at the Lincolnshire Comprehensive , Gabbilas-TIui.ng ( ,m agency in London that finds jobs for school teachers) informed me that a very l;tscinating job W,L'i available for an English teacher at a private English school in Athens. 'n,is is where truth and fiction often merge in my lif<.:. J had recemly read John Fowle's great novel nJe Magus and was a(L"{ious to foHmv in the hero's footsteps. I attended the inter­ view in England and much to my surprise was hired on the spot after being asked only two questions: who was my favo rite poet and who was my favorite novelist~ TIle r<.v() year experienCl: in Athens was amazing: I was chairm;U1 of English it) a school of 2'50 international stu­ dents. The fun of trying ro impose a rigid Brilish system of uniforms, pre­ fects, sports, and study in the heady climate of Athens was a struggk

I was offered a tlve year contract to stay on hut balked at commitring myself £0 high school leach ing for stich a long time. A part-time lecture­ ship I ad opened at the 1Jnivt'fsity of Ottawa, so I rc' tumed (0 Canada for two years to try and find somelhing fascinating to do.

While in Greece I had applied for several jobs in the Middle Ea.. . t because the money was very good and I wanted to partake oflhe Arab cu Iwre.

I took a post in 1979 at wbat I thought was the most interesting country in the Middle East - Iraq.

What a year' I could and may write a book about th e mentality of Iraqi students and faculty. The country was in a state of undeclared civil war when I arrived . 'The Kurds were atlacking Arabic towns no farther [han 20 miles away from Mosul. TI,e University had the only westerners in the city of one million, and we stOod out like SOre thumbs . The 13 foreigners came together as a closely knit group and we managed [0 survive

122 heat, eating maggot laden rice, having all mail ex;m1ined ;md censored and losing our typewriters hecause of fears of propaganda writing.

And 1 learned something about the quality ofpatience. ] spent six arduous weeks rehearsing Twelfth Nigbt with my third year Shakespeare class. I was determined to put on the first Shakespeare play in Iraq since before the revolution . My students weren't masters of the English language, £Inc! the progress was slow. TIle difficulty with haYing characters of different sexes acting together was most del i­ cate, but just as we reached Act 1II, someone reported that he had seen chara<:lers actually holding hands on stage The next day my play was cancelled.

Only a hlind man couldn't see the problems \vith Iran ;lnd [he Kurds coming, and after one year I was guite pleased to escape lhe heat and acade­ mic desert ofMosul for the organized world of (;erm,my where I w:t., offered a tutorship in American Literature at Johannes Gutenberg oiversitat in Mainz.

While at Gutenberg, I W'l'i contacted by the University of Maryland through my roommate. Maryland offers a full range of courses to Amerkan service­ men, diplomat:-;, and civil servants in Europe and Asia.

Initially, I was kept in England but was later sent on the continent where 1 covered e\'ery part of Germany imaginable - from the urban sprawl of Frankfurt to the empty wilds of a remote listening station ncar Prum on the Belgian border.

In August 1I)H,), I purchased a small cottage in rural Oxfordshire, England to put down roOlS. After 15 year~ of wandering the earth , it was pleasant to see more than .,0 of my hooks in one place . But just as I was getting ready to settle down to the "quiet life" of the English countryside and take advantage of my recent election to the Royal Society of Arts, my wife Catherine was offcred an administrative posr at the lJniver~ity

of Maryland's head office in Heidelberg.

She accepted, so it was goodbye England and the quiet, academic life and hello big city life for another three years. I suspect it will be the Asian division next!

The international teaching profes­ sion is an amazingly small group of people who continually bump into one another. It is quite hard to find an "in" to this circle, but anyone armed with a B.A. from a Canadian university should be able to find work in Europe within two months. The advantage of a graduate degree is that it opens up college and university work in both Europe and the Middle East. Next [() knowi ng somebody in the system, the most important words arc flexibility and determination. Armed with these two weapon, the world tru ly is your oyster. Teachi ng is the best way to see the world!

MAJOR IN GERONTOLOGY TO GIVE

STUDENTS APPRECIATION OF THE AGED

A

major in gerontology, designed to give students an appreciation of the aged and the aging experience from social, psychological and biological perspectives, received Senate approval in the rau.

The new major, which is similar ro the existing family studies/ geronto­ logy emphasis, must now be approved by the Ontario Council on University Affairs (OCUA), says Dean Richard Barham, College of Family and Consumer Studies. Guelph expects to hear from OC A in the spring, he says.

Professor Bruce Ryan, chairman of the Department of Family Studies, told Senate the new major will not require any additional resource s because most of the 27 courses required are already offered in Family Studies and by other dcpartments across campus.

Thirty students are now enrolled

in the geromology emphasis, and Professor Ryan told Senate he expects 60 students will enrol in the major over the next five years.

Guelph approved a course in social gerontology, offered through Family Studies, more than a decade ago.

Since that time, courses aimed at the study of aging have spread across campus with aging-related cour 'es being offered in the departments of Sociology, Psychology, Consumer Studies, and English Language and Literature - a trend Dean Barham told Senate be would like to see encouraged and continued.

In 1982, approval was given for a gerontOlOgy emphasis within the Family Studies major. The fuU major in gerontolOgy is seen as an en· hancement of [he existing emphasis, says the Board of Undergraduate Studies report to Senate. Develop­ ments within the University, including

the establishment of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council-funded Gerontology Research Centre, have been in keeping with society's emerging interest in gerontology, says the report, and the establishment of a major in geronto­ logy is a logical next step.

CONFERENCE

POPULAR WITH

TEACHERS

A conference at the University of Guelph, devoted to the new family studies curriculum for Ontario ele­ mentary and secondary schools, attrActed 180 participants from across the province this past fall , and many more had LO be turned away.

College of family and Consumer Studies faculty have becn heavily involved with the Ontario Ministry of Education in developing the new family studies curriculum called for in the ministry's OSJS (Ontario Schuols: Jnternlediate, Senior) guide­ line. TI1C OSIS guideline caUs for changes in all subject areas.

The conference, jointly sponsored by the college and the teachers, was a first step in giving teachers an oppor­ tunity to become familiar with the new curriculum. Participants, mainly secondary school teachers, discussed such topics as p:trenting, housing and economics.

OVC STUDENTS SET UP FUND

TO BUY TEACHING EQUIPMENT

Undergraduate students at OVC have adopted an effective approach to overcoming the underfunding ot post-secondary education. They have set up their own fund to purchase new teaching equipment The fund was established following a referendum last Febnlary. At that time, sUldents voted 73 per cent in favor of increasing their tuition fees by 850 per year to pay for new teaching equipment. Multiptied by present enrollment tlgures, this generates approximately S20,000 per year.

The fund was conceived, designed, promoted and adopted by the OVC students with the endorsement of the OVC chapter of the Canadian Veterinary Stud ents Association (CVSA ) . Now undergoing imple­ mentation at OVC, the fund's aims are threefold: • To purchase teaching equipment which is desirable [or learning veterinary meuicine, but is simply unavailable through traditional funding.

• To stimulate further funding of OVC from alternative sources such as alumni, faculty, graduate stu­ dents, businesses, and other groups with an interest in veterinary medicine.

• To demonstrate to the provincial and feueral governments that the students of OVC betieve govern­ ment underfunding has reached a point where personal donations are required in order to achieve an acceptable standard of education.

OVC is unique in its requirement of a large amount of expensive teaching equipment, given the nature of the subjects taught and the in­ creas ing sophistication of the discipli ne , The existing need for equipment at the College threatens the quality of the Doctor ofVeterinary Medicine program. Sustained bud­ getary restrictions, soaring costs of medical equipment and rapid tech-

Undergraduate students at ove have set up their own teaching equipment fund. nological development in the veter­ inary profeSSion have aggravated this need. OVe's teaching equipment inventory must be continuously updated if its students are to receive a tnlly excellent education.

The fund will provide an immediate return to those who have contributeu since equipment can be purchased and utilized in the same year that money is received.

The fund is not intended for the purchase of routine supplies o r expandables, nor is it for clinical or research lise other than that directly involving undergraduate sUluents at ove 'There will be no proportional allotment of money from the fund for admjnistration, salaries or other costs.

The fund is specifically earmarked for equipmem which will expose students to the emerging technology in the practice ofveterinary medicine and aid in the learning process. TIlis includes such things as an infra-red stethoscope which aUows a large group of students to listen to a heart or lung at the same time as the clinician, and an oscilloscope which

Donations to th e teaching equipment fund are collected as fees at the time of student registration in September. An advisory committee comprising two students from each of the donating classes has been estabtished. lhis committee considers student and faculty proposals for equipment purchases. The equipment must be rcferrable to a specific undergraduate course or courses, and preferential consideration will be given to suggestions which benctit the greatest number of students, The committee will present its recommendations formally to the Dean's Council ofOVeArrangements will then be made for the purchase of the approved equipment and the committee will inform stud ems of the nature of the purchase. pon its delivery, the equipment will be prominently labelled with acknowledgement of the source of funds.

The committee, in association with the CVSA, will conduct a biannual referendum requiring 66 per cent student approval for continuation of the funu . It will also present an annual assessment of the fund's function. Reports from the Dean's Office and the Department ofAlumni Affairs and Development will deter­ mine if the fund-raising potential of the arrangcmem is being utilized to increase other donations to the College.

Students and auministration hope that the initiative taken in setting up the teaching equipment fund wiU stimulate funding from other sources such as alumni.

The Department of Alumni Affai rs and Development has enthusiastically endorsed the fund. "I think it's a terrific idea," says Don LiVingston, Director of Annual Giving_ "The leadership the students are showing sets an example for others to give support."

avc CELEBRATES 125TH ANNIVERSARY

The avc is 125 years old this year.

In tenus ofcontinuous operation, it is the oldest veterinary college in the Western Hemisphere, and 1987 will undoubtedly go down as one of the most exciting in its long history.

Many months' work will reach fruition when the doors open on the finest large animal admission/ examination/ surgery complex in the world. The new facilities at the veterinary teaching hospital will be complemented by a new clinical teaching laboratory, also to be opened this year, and by further renovations throughout the College, notably in the Department of Biomedical Sciences and other clinical areas.

Rather than mounting one birthday party, an avc committee made up of faculty, students and staff has planned a series of events to take place over the year.

An exhibit entitled "avC's 125 Years of Service to Society" was mounted at the Society of antario Veterinarians' annual conference in Toronto January 29 to 31 .

The actual birthday, Thursday, February 12 - the date of Andrew Smith's first lecture in 1862 - will feature a special afternoon lecture in War Memorial Hall, to which all alumni, faculty, students and staff are invited.

During Alumni Weekend, June 19

and 20, a tree planting, an opening ceremony for the new avc facilities, and tours will be followed by lunch in Creelman Hall. There will be special floral arrangements as weU. Flower beds in front of the College and in the park at the foot of the College hill will commemorate 125 years. avc will take another exhibit to the World Veterinary Congress in Montreal August 16 to 21, and shortly after that, activities at home will be moving into high gear as avc prepares to welcome alumni to Homecoming Weekend, September 24 to 26. The College is inviting several professional veterinary associations and government groups to hold their annual meetings at Guelph and to join the College in mounting a series of continuing education sessions over the two-day period.

A special full convocation combined with the annual Schofield Memorial Lecture is planned for the weekend of September 24. It is hoped that the annual student/faculty banquet and awards ceremony will be augmented by a good shOwing of alumni that same evening.

An old tyme cafeteria style dinner, complete with the original metal trays and alumni wearing vintage black and white avc ~"Weaters, will take place the evening of September 25, followed by a musical revue of avc,

RETIRED BUT BUSY ...

What does a retired veterinarian do' Well, ifhe's George Murray, '46. he writes fiction.

Born and raised in Tohago, West Indies, George received his education in England, the West Indies and Canada. After serving as a line officer in the Canadian Navy during the Second World War, he returned to avc to earn his degree. Shortly afterward, he immigrated to the United States, spending 30 years in the U.S. military and civil service. Now retired, he lives in Vero Beach, Florida with his wife Helen. His hobbies arc boating

and tennis. He has also written a book entitled Caribbean Gold (Vantage Press, Inc.) . In this novel, two profoundly different men are thrown tOgether by fate to pursue both worldly treasure and spiritual salvation.

George's knowledge and love of history and seamanship are evident throughollt Caribbean Gold as he t.'1kes the reader from Trinidad through the Caribbean Islands and on to Haiti.

His knack for realism and suspense makes this novel a tour de force of action and insight into the very depth of men's souls.

past and present, in War Memorial Hall. A barbecue or picnic lunch is also planned for September 25 before everyone heads for the football game .

At the close of the year, avc will honor its retiring faculty and staff with a recognition night at the Holiday Inn. A commemorative program, College T-shirts, ties and scarves, Christmas cards and a postage cipher are also being designed to mark the 125th anniversary year.

For further information about any ofthe avc anniversary events, contact the Dean's affice, ('519) 823-8800, ext. 4401 or 441 4.

FEMALE GRAD

NUMBERS

STRONG

An interesting chapter in the 125 year history of avc deals with female graduates.

The first woman to graduate from avc was Dr. E.B. Carpenter Collins of Detroit. She practised in California for a time after graduating in 1928. From that year until 19S6, only 35 women graduated from ave.

Today, more and more women are choosing veterinary medi足 cine as a profession. In this year's graduating class, the females (72) will outnumber the males ( 48).

BRIAN BRANDENBURG

NAMED HEAD OF GIDe

Brian

Brandenburg, OVC '68, M.Sc. '71 , became president and chief operating officer of Guelph Inter· national Development Consultants (GIDC) September 1, 1986.

GIDC was established in January 1986 to develop, promote and market the University's expertise inter­ nationally, to represent its interests with outside agencies, governments and the private sector internationally, to provide international experience for its staff, faculty and students, and to enrich the University's teaching, research and service capabilities through international activities.

Brian, who has a B.Sc. in tropical agriculture from Holland as well as his degrees from Guelph, had training

in deve lopment project planning with the Economic Development Institute of the World Bank, Washington, in 1984.

He was an assistant professor in the Department of Clinical Studies from 1971 to 1976 and was a member of the OVC liaison committee on inter­ national programs. He then went to Malaysia's University of Agriculture for three years as a visiting professor, as part of an OVC team helping to establish a faculty of veterinary medi­ cine and animal science at that university.

In 1979 Brian was a private con· sultant in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where his assignments were in animal health, livestock development, live·

DVC FUND NG INCREASE

ANNOUNCED

A major funding increase for OVC

and the start of the animal health research station were announced by Ontario Agriculture and Food Minister Jack Riddell , OAC ' 57, in late September.

Speaking about the role of research and health care to the animal industry, Riddell indicated his ministry's intention to further increase funding in the next five years.

The OMAF funding level for OVC will be raised from the current Sl .8 million to $3 million, starting with the current fiscal year. "By extending funding to the College, we can ensure that well·trained veterinarians are available to the animal industry - an industry that is SO important to the provincial economy," said Riddell.

The increased funding will cover the additional costs of operating the new large animal clinic, and provides continued support for the OVC externship program which allows OVC students to gain field experience by working with practising veter·

26

inarians. It will also fund improved clinical teaching facilities at the veterinary teaching hospital.

"This will improve the teaching and clinical education of under· graduate students and graduate students," said OVC Dean Ole Nielsen.

He also believes that, as the result of a number of improvements over the past two years, OVC will regain fu.l.l accreditation as a veterinary school at the next evaluation this fall.

Riddell announced that an archi· tectlconsultant had been selected to begin work on phase one of the aninlal health research station to be located at Ponsonbyand operated by the nivcrsity. The $2.5 million first phase, scheduled for completion in 1988, will include sheep and dairy facilities. farther down the road are the final four phases - the swine facility to be completed in 1988, calf barns in 1990, a beef facility in 1991 and a small aninlai section in 1992.

The enlire station represents a commitment ofS5.2 million over the next five years.
