For over 50 million years the great auk inhabited Canada's North Atlantic coastal region. Closely related to the penguin family, this strange but interesting species holds the dubious distinction of being the fIrst North American bird to be exterminated by man. Nesting in the millions on Newfoundland's Funk Island, these docile, flightless creatures were slaughtered for food, fuel and fashion. In less than 300 years, an entire species was wiped out-forever. Perhaps the greatest environÂ mental tragedy we can pass on to our descendants is the loss of genetic and species diversity. The Canadian Nature Federation needs your help to stop the senseless destruction of our wildlife and wilderness. It's too late for the great auk, but your participation may prevent a similar fate befalling other plants and animals. Please join today! ~---------------I YES!

THE COLLEGE TRADITION AT THE

UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH

Following is tbe tbird edited excerpt f ro m The Achievement and Challenge, a history llTilteli by Judith A. Colbert in celebration of the Unil1ersity 's 25th (1IIl1il'ersCIIY Copies of the history ll'ill be (wail able during Alu mni Weekend.

Education on the Guelph campus has a long tradition, h >ginning O\'er 100 years ago when the Ontario governmen t purchased a .,OO-acre fa rm from frederick William Stone to house its new School of Agri culture. The doors opened l\llay I, 1874 . A one-year practical course was offered. In 1880 . the name changed to Ontar iO Agri cu ltural Colkge and Experimental Farm . In IH81, A~~o c iate of the College diplomas were grdnted (0 those completing a (\"\-"0 year co urse. By 188 7 , a three-year degree course was available and the Coll ege was affiliatetl ""ith the University o f Toronto fo r the gr,Ull ing of degrees . In 1888, the first Bachelor o f Science in Agr icullUre degrees were conferred . The course was extended to four years in 1901 In 1903 , OAC was joined by Macdonald Institute.. btablished a~ a res ult o f a gift from Sir William Macdonald , at the request of Adelaide Hoodles~ , founder of the Wome n 's Institute movcment, Macdona ld Institute offered three month short courses and one and two-yea r diploma courses in home maki ng . In 1941, academic <lctivity was suspended when the Institute and its res id ence, Macdonald Hall , wcre used for training Royal Cana d ian Air Force cooks and wireless personnel. The o ne-year diploma course resumed in 19-15 . A fOllr-year degree program hegan in 19·j8, with the firs t graduates receiving their Bachelor of Household Science degrees from the l jniversity of Toronto in May 1952 . In 1963, the d iploma course was discontinued .

A Macd()llald Institute graduate is hooded at the Ull iuersity's first com'ocatioll ill Alay 1965. She is congratulated by the ilollorable George Drell', tbe Ull il'ersity's first cbancel/or. as Macdonald Institute Dean Jlargaret IHcCready reads Ollt her name. At tbis COIIl'Ocation, 280 students receil'ed the firs t degrees bearing the name Unil'ersity a/Guelph. William Dal'is, then Ontario's l\Jillister of Un iversity Affairs, was a special guest alld u'orld-renOll'ned lluthol; ecollomisl and diplomat, Jobn Kennetb Galbraith, OAC '31, addressed the graduates aJtel' receil'ing tm honorm:J' Doctor of LalL's degree.

On .luly I. 1970 . M<I<.:donald Insti rure he<.:arm: the Co llege of Fam il y and Consumer Studies (rACS) . The Bach<:lor o f Ilou~ehold Science \Va: replaced hy the Bachelor of Applied Science. The School of HOld and Food Admini~tr.ltion (HAFA) was formed in 1969 and is part of the College. HA FA gt,lduates rccei\'\:: a Bachelor of Commerce degree.:. In 1922. the Ontario Veterinary College (OVe) became the third College to join the.: campus It was e~L,blished in Toronro in 1862 with a private charter granted (() Andrew Smith . Teaching began in 1864 and the 1I.r:o;t Veterinary Surgeon diplomas \vcre.: granted in 186') . In 1908, the College was acquired hy th e province and operdted unde r the ~Iinister of Agriculture. Through an arr,tngemcnt wirh the University of Toronto, an optiona l third year was added to (he course and graduates received Bachelor of Veterinary Science degrees . In 1919 , the course.:

was lengthened to four years . In 19·i6 , the degree.: changed to Doctor o f Vcterinary Medicine.:. In 1949, the course was extended to five years and, in 1965. with establishment of the l ' ni\'ersit y of Guelph, changed to eight semester.>. prcceded hy four semesters of study in arts and science. In 1962 , OAC, Macdonald Insti tute and OVC became the feuerated Colleges of the Onurio Department of Agricuitllfe, affiliated with the lInh'ersity of Toronto for the pur pose of granting degrees . Margaret McCready and Trevor Lloyd Jones , principals of Macdonald Institute and OVC. became deans Within the new federation . JD. MacLachlan, president of OAC, became president of the Federated Colleges , while r\.R . Ric hards was named first dean of OAC Three administrative units were amalgamated into one. The first important step toward un iver sit y stalus had been taken.

By May 8 , 196'1, three full-Hedged Colleges, providing degree-level education , were ready to become pan of the new n iversity of Guelph . What the University lacked were in:..titutions devoted solely [0 arts and science. The solution wa~ the creation of Wellington College by the University Senate on October 13, 1964 The new College, organ ized under the direction of Dean Murdo MacKinnon , accepted its first students a year later. The early years were marked hy growth and change In 196H, a special Senate committee was con vened to ~tudy and make recom mendations with regard to the College system . As a result of its report , brought to Senate in 1969, WeUingwn CoUege was discontinueu July I, 1970 , and its departments divided into the College of Arts , College of Physical Science anu College of Social Scien e. On January I , 1971 , the Colkge of Biological Science was formed from the School of Physical Education , Department of ~utrition and parts

of the Departments of Botany, Microbiology and Zoology from OAC The ollege structure was complete. The term' 'College" is defined at Guelph as a group of two or more departments operating within a university structure (often called a .. Fac ulty " at other universities). The decisions made in 1964 and reaffirmed the College trauition at Guelph and the impor tance of giving equal voice to each area of study In particular, the dissolution of Wellington College and subsequent reorganization of the Colleges, provided each a rea of study with an adll1 inhtrative lructure of manageable size and equal opportunity for growth :lnll recognition at the full decision making level f the University. This equa lity of opportunity was important, espec iall y in the early rears. becausc it served to givc the newest dbciplincs an equal voice, alongside the older. and initially, much larger, founding Colleges. 1969,

THANKS FOR

DONATION

Dear Ecliwr. Some time ago, the Department of Botany received a generous donation from rhe University of Guelph Alumni Association's Alma Mater Fund (AMF) to help finance an extension [() the Header House of our greenhou~e . This extension is now complete and fully operational. With the AMF help and further monies , we now have in the Header House, a new and extensive grOWL h chamber facility holding ten controlled environment chambers which are computer operated; extensivc plant hand ling space; and a preparation , pouing and washing-up area (a nd a greenhouse manager with a smile on his face) . On bebalf of the Oepartmem , I thank thc Association most sincerely fo r the donation and invite members to visit our faCility.

The overall goal was surpassed by S59,998 fo r an annua l record of 5859 ,998 . However, O\'e r 80 per cent of the do n ation~ re eived we re restricted to niversity areas other than AMF projects. T b is le ft a 27 per cent funding defici t for AMI-' projec ts and mea nt n ew requc,<,ts from the Unjversity for a lu mni support could not be considered by the AMF Advisory COllnci l from 1988 donations . Thanks to a n increase in facu lty and staff partic ipation , the num ber of people w ho contr ibuted ÂŤ) the

1988 AMF was up slight ly from t he p reviO lls year. Class projects were popular, raising an unpreced e n ted S84,923. ConÂ gratulations to the alumni involved in th ese endeavors . On hehalf of the AM F Advisory Counc il, thanks again to everyo ne wh o belped put the fu ncl over the lOp in 1988. Sincerely,

THE GEORGE MORRIS CENTRE

t all staned with a gleaming red sports car and a man of vision. When George Morri~, retired farmer and long-time fri end of the University of Guelph , decided morc than two years ago to donate a Corvette to the University, his gesture grew into a unique fund-raising project for The Campaign . The car was grand prize in a draw held at Homecoming '87. George wanted proceeds from the draw to be lIsed for the better ment of agriculture in this country. "Agriculture is an industry [ should help because I know more about it than anything else: ' he reasoned . Now Georgc is secing his drcarrl come true. At a March press confer ence, it was announced that a pro ject to establish The George \orris Centre at the University of Guelph is officially underway and that Dr. Larry Martin has been appointed acting director of the Centre. This agricultural "think tank" will develop policies and programs to maximize opportunities for Canadian producers and processors and ensure the viability and profitability of Canadian agriculture. The Cenrre will be people rather than bricks and mortar. The heart of the Centre will be two outstand ing faculty spec ialists - one in policy development and the other in market development and tr.ide. The Centre will also accommodate five or six graduate students who w ill conrribute to research and gain a comprehensive, progressive outlook on agriculture and the future. To establish and maintain the Cent re, a permanenr endowment of S2 .5 million is needed . Income from the endowment will provide salaries for the two specialists and pay admi nistrative costs . The endowment income wi ll also assist (he graduate students and help fund conferences, through wh ich the Centre's findings will be commun i cated to a broad audience. While much money remains to be

rai~ed, funding for the Centre's establishment is off to a healthy start . Donors range from individuals like George Morris ' next -door neighbor, Bob Skipper, OAC '51 , to multi -national corporations like James Richardson & Sons, Ltd. of Winnipeg , Ralston Purina Canada Inc. and Ciha-Geigy Canada Ltd . The Centre's concept is being whole-heartedl), supported across the country by those involved in agricultllre and concerned about its future. Among the earliest supporters were the Ontario Cattlemen's Asso ' iation and the Ontario Pork Board . OAC Dean Freeman McEwen . chair of the Centre's steer ing committee, says, " We have the re sources and illlelligence to compete in world markets more fully than ever before. We need an agricultural policy to do jt and we need both nd ' of the country pulling together: ' Stan Wilson , past presideOl , Canadian Canlemen's Association , says, " Canadian agricult ure must be internationally competitive to survive. That requirn sound policy thinking and polic)' development. The George Morris Centre will pro vide a forum for the development of such policies." Dr. Morris (Moe) Freeman, Gene,,tr Manager, Semex Canada , and a member of the Cen tre's steering committee, says, " Long -range planning is absolutely crucia l for the future of Canadian agriculture and the George Morris Celllre is a step in the right direction." The George Morris Centre will be a fitting tribute to the man who inspired it. George has been a farmer since he was 14 . He i~ well known for his progres~ive att itud e and contributions to the agricultural industry. He has received centennial medals from both OAC and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food for these contributions. A founding member of the OnGlfiO Beef Improvement Association , a member of the Ontario Grain Corn

George Morris Council and past president of both the Canadian and Ontario Cattle men 's Associations, George ha~ been a leader in agriculture for many decades. I-Il: operated a 500-acre beef feedlot ncar Merlin, Omario and for 20 years was in the wholesale butcher business. "GeorgI:: is an innovative, forward thinking individual," says Marilyn Robinson, de\'elopment officer, D 'partment of Alumni Affairs and Development , and a member of the George Morri s Centre ~teering commit tee. "Ill: not only dreamed up the idea for the Centre, he made a substantial personal commitment to its establishment anu is encour aging others to suppOrt it."

NEW RECEIPT

PROCEDURE

new procedure for issuing campaign donation receipts has been implemented in the Department of Alumni Affairs and Development . Previously, if a donor gave three or more donalions annua ll y, a separate receipt would be issued for each donation . Now, a single receipt will bt: issued for all donations made by a donor in one year. This me am that a single receipt for all a donor 's contributions in the ]989 calendar year will be mailed early in 1990, in time for tax declaration. This new procedure will simpli fy the donor 's tax receipt records and be more efficient for the University.

UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH: A ONE-STOP

CONFERENCE CENTRE

What do tht: Toronto Argonauts, Gt:neral Electric, the Salvation Army, and the Canadian Association of Physicists have in common' All have used the facililie~ and services provided by the nivers ity of Guelph Conference Office. This year, from April to August , more than 80 groups, rJnging in size from 20 to 2,000, w ill make full use of the University 's physical and human resources for everyt hing from sport~ training camps to com pany workshop · and academic ~ymposia .

Seventy per cent of the groups using the conference services return on an annual basis. Conference tanager ancy McPherson thinks there are two main reasons fo r this. One is the attractive and centr.! lly located campus. "Although we are in a city and close to Toronto, there is a coumry atmosphere here. Pt:ople find the trce~ and landscaping appeal ing. It is a refreshing environmeOl ." Gary Nadalin, Assistant Director for Central Reservations and Confer ences, agrees. "We offer an academic sening combined with informality. This ambiance appeals in particular to adults involved in continuing education programs . Junior and middle managers, whose companies send them here for training pro gr.!ms, get a real sense of going back to school in a relaxed atmosphere." The other main reason fo r repeat business is the "one-stop shopping" service the Conference Office pro vide·. Office staff co-ord inate all support services required by each client - accommodation , meals , meet ing space, audio visual equip ment, special set-ups, exhibit areas, wine and cheese receptions, regis tration , coffee breaks, athletics facilities, and so on . "Our job is to make it as easy as po ·sible for the client who has to organize a confer ence," explains ancy. Each summer Nancy hires five students to act as full-lime confer ence co-ordinators. Each co-ordinator

Nancy McPher·son and Gary Nadalin of the Conference Office is assigned a specific number o f co nference groups and must ensure these groups' needs are met. Co ordinators live in residence and arc on ca ll 24 hours a day while they have a group on campus . "We are !-ien·ice-oriented and try LO provide the best possible st:rvice for our clients," explains Gary. He also nOfes the important public rela tions role his office plays. "Often , we are the o n ly contact a delegate has with this l niversity and we wam to give a good impression ." For youngsters who attend sports camps or 4 -H work~hops on campus, the liaison aspec t becomes important as welL " 1 often arrange campus LOurs for these groups:' says Nancy " Teenagers may decide LO attend this Un iversity based on previous experience here. If they fee l comfortab le, they may want to come back." Aside from the public relations and liaison roles the Confe rence Office plays, its main mandate is to generate additional revenue for the Department of Residences and Food Services to keep student residence and food service fee increases to a minimum . It keeps porters, main tenance people and food service personnel employed year round as well.

"There is also a :.pin-off benefit for the cOOlmunity-at-large since we bring thousands of vi:.itors to Guelph who spend convention dollars in the city," explains Gary. Conference hu.-;iness is presently restricted by the number of large meeting rooms available on campus but Gary says there is growth potential for those groups whi ch just require beds. "We have 4,000 residence beds , so groups that need hostel service, without meeting rooms, arc on the increase."

MASSEY

COFFEE SHOP

REUNION

PLANNED

T he Massey Hall coffee shop may no t be one of the reasons studel1ls choose to attend th e niversity of Guelph , but by the time they grad uate, it is often among their fo ndest memories of campus life. The coffee shop was eswb lished in the 195 0s and has gone through several changcs over the years. At one time or another, it feat ured various forms o f entertainm ent, in cluding juke box , pinba ll machines, and movies. These are gone now but the shop's p< pu larity remai ns. A group of students recently polled at the shop gave a vari ety of reasons for this popularity. " It's the oatmeal muffins," said one. " 0 , it's the scones," argued another. " It's the friend ly staff," someone e lse spoke up Others com mented on the " homey, relaxed at mosphere" and "great prices " Barbara Buczek, manager of the shop, says the staff's friend li ne s ~ may be due to the "mother instinct " She explains, "A lot o f o ur stud ents don't get home often so we like to m ake them feel at home when they come in here." A few alumni poUed thin k it's the Danish pastries that make the shop great . Janet La nd, Arts '80 , now a p rofe ssio nal actress, recalls, " The high light of my week was Monday morning drama classes, We'd start with co ffee and those delic io us Danishes from Massey Ha ll and then run through our exercises ." Richard Buck, OAC '76A , recalls sharing Danishes in the shop w ith his wife, Barbara Brandon, Arts '77. " They were just too big for o ne person [0 eat alone," he explains, Sarah (Wyatt) Nadalin, Arts '8 2, remembers the shop as a way to get acquainted with studems in other areas of study. " You ended up w it h friends you wouldn't have known

otherwise. They werc your coffee shop friends. It was also a great place [0 talk informally with your professors .' , Professor Richard Phidd , Political Studies, agrees. "There is no sense of h iemrchy in the coffee shop, so a more informal communication process can take pl ace between facu lt y and students ." Professor Phidd says the "homey" environmem and small wblc group ings b ri ng people closer together. " You meet peoplc on a personal level. There is a ense of community

and a sense of tradition . It's a re latively unique thing on campus. I oftm take viSitors there just for the differen t environment ." If you feel nostalgic for the Massey coffee shop, you can take part in a rcunion there during Alumn i Week end Saturday, June 17 from I to -i p.m .

FACS GRAD MONITORS CHILDREN'S

NUTRITION IN AFRICA

By Ch ristoph er Nea l,

Com municat io ns O fficer

Josie Vespa, FACS 'S3, is up mos t mornings at dawn for a day trip to o ne of 12 villages in the northern province of Sierra Leone, a tropica l forest nation of four mill ion in West Africa . She has been a CUSO co o perant there since 1986 She begins her days by meeting with tbe village chief, "to give greetings and tell him we (she bas an African partne r) want to weigh the young ch ildren to see how they are growing ." He responds by dispatching the town crier, who dashes abo ut the mud houses announcing her arrival. When the village women gather, Josie weighs their children, leads them in songs about nutrition or demonstrates preparation of food suitable for children starting to eat solids . It is important work in the Bo mbali District, as josie has found up to one-quarter of the children under five are malnourished. This stunts their growth , impairs their mental development and leaves them prone to widespread diarrhea and malaria. Josie and her co lleagues have also found most malnourishment cases arise in (he ~ econd ha lf of a baby 's first year when solid foods are added to breastmilk. They are inves tigat ing exactly what cau 'cs the growth faltering in order to fomlulate health education strategies that will become part of a national nutrition system developed by a committee of nutritionists from across Sierra Leone. Before her contract in Sierra Leone, Josie had a CUSO posting at a igeria n sc hoo l for the hearing impaired and bli nd . At the same time, she gave health talks to preg nant women and mothers of small chilLiren. Between that posting and her prese nt one, Josie returned to

While the Seneca courses and her previous nutrit ion degree from Guelph were useful , Jo~ie sap. the starling point to cont ribute to an imprm'eOleot in the health of West African villagcr~ was "going into their homes and eating thdr foocl."

.. Health care workers are fooling themsdves if they think they can understand nutrition problems just by obserYing them in the clinic con sultation rOom ," she says. In Sierra Leone, where CUSO has 15 co-opcrants, Josie hclicyes she has helped developmcnt take place. " 'n small communities, families tOok the firs t step in trying to solve child health problems," she says "And develupment took place at a national level when the government decided to institute nutrition activities." Josie is now training a Sierra Leonian for the nutrition ist 's job in B0111hal i District. All hough Ii fc in the villag\.: of Binkolo has been without luxuries like transportation and toothpaste, Josie says she will miss the \'illagcr~ when ~he leave:..

BIBLIOGRAPHY TO BENEFIT

MANY University, school and co mmunity libraries in Wellington County ha\'e been presented with a new biblio graphy of historical books, brochures and essays about the region . Guelpb and Wellington COl/III)'.' A Bibliography 0/ Settlement and Development since 1800 wil l bene fit local teachers, s tu dent~ , genealo giSts, archivists , municipa l offices, museum staff and heritage groups. The 350-page volume wa~ com piled as the first step in a UniverSity o f Guelph researc h effort to study the Upper Grand Valley region . be Guelph Regional Project was in i tiated by Professo r Gil Stelter, History, who chairs a faculL y group interested in re 'earch on the regi o n . T he project has been funded since 1987 by a Un i\'e rsi t y research excdlcnce gram . The special ed ition prese11led to county libraries, schools, museums and archives, was made poss ible by a donation from John Sutherland and Sons Ltd . of Guelph which provided funds for hinding. This gift was crucial in making the bibliography a\'ailable promptly to users in the wider com m uni ty, say~ Professor Elizabeth Bloomfield , Geography, who co -ordinated product ion . Mary Su therland says the donation by her family's com pany was modes t compared to the Univer ity 's efforts . The Guelph Regional Project will n xt publis h a compilation o f per sonal and fa m ily data based on the biographies in the 1906 Wellington County atlas and a volume of maps illustrating territoria l org:ll1ization of the region since 1800 In addi tion to providing an infor matio n base o f primary and se con dary source materials on \Vellington County, rhe Guelph Regional Project represents a model approach to the study of local and regional history that might be useflll in other regions.

NEW DIAGNOSTIC FACILITY

HEIGHTENS ANIMAL WELFARE

By O wen Roberts,

Office of Research

Canadian universities offering veterinary and animal science programs, Guelph is first to have magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) , a non-surgical, radiation-free tech nology that offers new levels of diagnostic information . The S13-million MRl faCility, under the direction of Professor Ed Janzen, Chemistry and Biochemistry, is located in the Department of Bio medical Sciences. It was assembled with University funds contributed by ove, OAC, CBS and CPS. Like x-rays or ultrasound , MRr Jets researchers look inside the body without us ing surgery. Bu t similar ities srop there. Whereas x-rays involve low-level radiation and are essentially snap shots of dense matter such as bone, MRl "pictures" are obtained through the usc of harmless magnetism, by recording how the body's hydrogens align in the presence of a magnetic field produced by the MRI unit . This alignment can be translated into unprecedented pictures of areas like rhe hrain, heart or lungs wherever there is soft tissue or fat , which has high concentrations of hydrogens.

Dr. Brian Buckrell, avc '68 (centre), President of the avc Alumni ASSOciation, presents OVC Alumni Association Fellowships to OVC graduate students Gail Sutton (Clinical Studies) and David Alves (Population Medicine).

Like MRI, ultrasound offers more than pictures of bone, but ultra sound technology cannot provide the detail ohvious in MRI images. By using a sensor that can be pin pointed anywhere along the axis of an animal placed inside a magn etic chamber, magnetic resonance imag ing can isolate and depict extremely thin " slices" of the subject. Tissue and fat appear as distinctly different bright areas in the MRI im age. Research projects dire<.:led by Professors Janzen , Tammy Bray, Nutritiona l Scien ces, and Fred Braller, Chemistry and Biochemistry. are already unde r way at the MRI facility. The: first series involves rats as models fo r liver and lung diseases, including the effect on the liver of alcohol and toxic chemicals like ch lorocarbons found in dry cleaning fluids, and the influence of mineral deficient dieb on the lung. The availahility of the MRI unit means the progre~s of diseases can be studied without having to ellthan ize anima ls or conduct inva -ive surgery Prafes or Janzen says MR[ will become an important tool for enhancing animal research and diagnostic work at the Univers ity. " The procedures we are develuping will advance the welfare of animals

GueljJh researchers can take an inside Look at Lille pLants and animals, thanks to a new magnetic resonance imaging facility in the Department ofBiomedical Sciences. Above, in front of the facility's magnetic cha mber are facility oper ,liars Rheal Towner and Uwe Oehler by enabling veterinarians to bener and more quickly diagnose problems like neurological dbease," he says . " Some of the problems studied here could be models for human diseases and affl ictions as wel l." The limiting factor in the facility 's ability to conduct research and offer diagnosis is the size of the unit 's magnet and its associated frequency. At present, the chamber can accommodate nothing larger than Cats or puppies. Professor Janzen is app lying for assistance to increase the chamber's size by ::SO per cent, which he says will accommodate most pets requir ing MRI diagnostic . ervices ,ll1d render better MRI images through the usc of hight:[ frequencies.

Spcell is imperative in identifying the hacterium's presence to prevent its spreading. Convemional illemificaliol1. which involv e~ cu lturing hacteria from the palient's blood or sp utum , takes a least 12 h ours. Profe~sor Lam's kit reduces the test period to Jess t han five minutes . Tbe kit consists of 17 k inds of

monoclonal amibod ies, produced from clones of antibody-producing ce lls spec ific to each strain o f bacterium . Ind ividual ant ibodies are attrdcted 10 their own specific bac terium, where they settle in clumps. As well, ant ibodies from the kit can be attach ed 10 chemicals that will fl ouresce u nder ult ravi olet light.

OAC GRAD VYING FOR SEAT ON

SPACE SHUTILE

Could an "Aggie" he the first Canadian woman in space? This is quite possible if Roberta Bondar, OAC '68 , is selected over fellow Canadian Ken Money to fill Canada's position on the firM inter national microgrJ.vity laboratory space shuttle flight in 1991. The final choice will be m~lde by the end o f the year. Dr. Bondar is on leave as assistant professor of medicine (neurology) at McMaster L1niversity, liamilton . If chosen for [he nine-day mission, she will conduct experiments to test ef fects of weightlessness 011 the human brain, with panicular empha~is on balance and taste sens itivity. She took time out from training at NASA headquarters in Houston to launch the University's 25th anniversary achievers ' serie~ in February. The series feature!'> alumni speakers who haye excelled in their professions. While proudly 'A'earing her OAC '68 sweater, Dr. Bondar told her Guelph audience thal experiments to be carrkd out \vhen the next Canadian urbits the Earth will be a chance for ~ cientists around the world to measure Canad ian talent. "We'll be in\'ol\'ed with scientists from Europe, Japan and the United States in this . It 's an important chance for Canada to show how credible we arc to the world ." Dr. Bondu said the Canad ian Astronaut Program is one way fo r Canada to stay in touch with the latest developments in technology and to make some of those developmenls in this country, "We can't work in isolation any longer, Space is one of the ways for us to pull international relations closer together." \'('ithou( taking part in new tech nology developments, Dr. Bondar said Canada would have to rely on other countries to keep its indu~trics and uni\'er~itie!> up-to date. "If we don' t stay involved in

new developments, we will become a Third World country." On the world stage. Dr. Bondar said Canadian scientists are known for producing top-rate communica tions equipment and the famous Canadarm - the robotic arm that is an integral part o f the ~pace shuttle. "Canada has ~ome niches in the space science community no

one else can fill . The cha llenge is for us LO act as credible scientists in th is." Dr, Bondar admitted all future space shuttle flights will be carried out in the shadow of the 1986 Challenger explosion which killed seven crew members, "We can only minimize risks , we cannot com pletely get rid of them," she said. After graduating from OAC with a RSc. in zoology, Dr Bondar earned all M.Sc. ill experimenwl pathology from The University of Western OntariO, a Ph,D. ill neurohiology from the University of Toronto and a Doctor of Medicine from McMaster, Besides her professorsh ip at McMaster, she was appointed direc tor of the Multiple Sclerosis Clinic for Hamilton -Wentworth Region in 1982 .

PHYSICS PROFESSOR NAMED

RESEARCHER OF DISTINCTION

Professor Peter Egelstaff, Physics, has been named the University's first' 'Researcher of Distinction' '. The award commemorates the niversity 's 2')tl1 anniversary. recog nizing the sign ificanl role scientists haye played in its development. " Profe~sor Egelstaff is a role model for our young researchers on campus to follow: ' says President Brian Segal , who, along with Dean of Research Larry Milligan , hoste<.l a Jinner for Professor Ege lstaff and his family at the President 's House.

Professor Egclstaff was recom mended for the citation by the University's Research Board . He is a pioneer in neutron scallcring the pl<lctice of bombarding selected material with a beam of neutrons [ 0 study the distin ctive patu:rns they make when they bounce off. The process itself does negligible damage to the subject matter, and the patterns reveal information about the atomic and molecular structure and dynamic~ of the materia l th at

wou ld otherwise be impossible to ohtain . Professor Egelstaff became leader of a gro up at Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd . in Chalk River in 1957. which built Ihe first phased rotor neutron spectrometer and made the firs t comprehens ive measurements of the thermal ne utron scattering law of reacror moderator mater ial. This rtsearch was part of the refinement of the highly respected CANOe reactor. Professor Egelsta.ff pioneered tech niques such as inelastic neutron scattering to investigate the dynamics of sim ple liquids, and wi th colla borators, revised and improved methods of studying the structure of liquid metals and alloys. His work is credi ted w ith enla rging the versa tility of neutron scattering in other areas, especially the field of physical chemistry. Professor Egelstaff came to Guelph in 1970 as chair, Department of PhYSics. Wh ile leading the depart ment through five formative years,

Professor Peter Egelstaff he maintained his research interest , using an electron linear accelerator at the University of Toronto as a neutron source. At the same time, he helped refine the precision of neutron diffraction meas urements on fluids through the development of a new instr ument at Chalk River's NRU reaClor. This work was complemented by a colla bor<ltive program at the Institut Laue-Langevi n in Grenoble, which continues. Most recently. Professor Egelstaff and his co llaborators developed a progrJ.m of computer simulations of simple fluids to complement their experimen tal program of s[''1tic and dynamic structure factor measure ments . He is also involved in an effort to upgrade the reactor at McMaster University, which would offer local researchers a rea<.lily availab le location for neutron scat teri ng resea reh.

SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING JOINS CPS

The School of Engineering has a new home. It is still located in the Thornbrough building, where it has been since 1973 . But it is no longe r part of OAC faculty, staff and stu dents movcd May I to the College of Physical Science, which wi ll be renamed to include engineering . The move was sparked by recom mendations of a Senate-appo inted task force that examined the role and future of the School last year Thc task force initially recommended the School be made a separate College, but that was deemed un feasible because of its small size. As an alternative, Engi neering facu lty unanimously proposed a change in Colleges, a move th at was con idered in the past because of close links between the School and CPS.

Professor Bill James, the School 's new director, thinks the switch to CPS will be a w inning combination . "I t will give faculty and students a new sense of purpose and direction . We'll be repackaging our courses and offering new programs, which will help make the School more visible. As a result, we hope to attract more students, especially gifted ones, as well as more funding fo r research ." With the move from OAC, agri culture wi ll no longer appear to be the sole focus of the School , says Professor James. AgriculturAl en gineering wil! remain an integral part of the program but the number of majors w ill double, increasing the School's scope. In addition to the current majors of water resources

and hiological engineering, the School hopes to offer programs in environmental , food and informa tion engineering . Guelph has the only accredited water resources engineering program in the country and is the besl engineering school in Canada in the area of rural resources and environ mental biology, says Professor James. "With new programs in p lace, Guelph should appeal to a wider range of engineering students and researchers tban traditional engineering : ' Relocated in CPS, the School can collaborate more wit h the depart ments of Mathematics and StatistiCS, Physics, and Computing and Infor mation Science.
