On the cover: U of G students often say it was the beautifully treed campus that made the difference in choosing Guelph. All but one, that is. In the late 1920s, one veterinary student from Sa..'ikatchewan dropped out after the first semester because "there were too many trees." This photo by T.P. Sullivan was taken for a University liaison publication to show prospective students just what we mean when we talk about Guelph's idyllic landscape.

Seeing the forest through the trees In the debate over the use of forested lands, at least one thing is clear 颅 we've got a lot to learn about trees. Several dozen U of G researchers are helping to acquire that missing knowledge.

Homecoming '90 Homecoming '90 will focus on the new inductees to the Gryphon Hall of Fame, the football game and the renaming of the old athletics centre to honor a man who ~ymbolizes the Gryphon spirit for four decades of Guelph students.

Letters to the editor

The May 1990 issue contains an article on the NIMBY ("not in my backyard") syndrome, with specific reference to landfilJs. Getting the public involved in the siting and operation of a landfill is an impor­ tant step in preventing NIMBY. But one major factor that is often overlooked in deflecting NIMBY is the post-closure phase of the landfill. What will the 1:lI1dfill be when it is finished?

We in the land reclamation field are proud of the things we can do for the public in reclaiming dis­ turbed areas. With proper planning and a little help from our friends in the landscape architecture field, we can turn landfills into valuable urban parks or golf courses.

It's surprising how quickly NIMBY-types, who are very vocal during the planning and operation of a landfill, change their tune when the landfill becomes a golf course and people are lining up to buy ad­ jacent houses.

The Canadian Land Reclamation Association (CLRA), which had its origins in Guelph more than 15 years ago, represents more than 250 people across Canada who are com­ mitted to making resource extrac­ tion and other land uses compatible with protection and wise use of our environment.

Before people scream "NIMBY," we urge them to look beyond the "hole-in-the-ground" to what may rise in its place.

c.s. Powter,

cns '78 and M.Sc. '80,

Past-President, CLRA.

I e njoy reading the GuelphAlum­ nus, hut when I received the May issue, 1 was quite disappointed to realize that it is printed on non­ recyclable paper.

In line with the Un iversity'S efforts towards fine paper recycling and the magazine's emphasis on environmental issues, r think it would be app ropriate to use recyclable or recycled paper.

Many magazines continue to have a glossy cover but use different paper for the bulk of the publica­ tion . You would probably ease many alumni consciences by alter­ ing your format.

Dale Smith, OVC '80, Department of Pathology.

I am very glad to see that U of G is including timely environmental is­ sues in their courses, research and alumni articles.

Please take the environmental issues to heart now and print the alumni magazine on paper that can be recycled. If it is practical, it would even be better to print on paper that has already been recycled.

Thank you and keep up the good work.

Georgina de Lagran, CSS '75 , Surrey, RC

Editor's note: These readers agree with members of the Guelph Alumnus advisory board , who have also recommended that the publica­ tion be printed on recycled paper stock. We plan to make the switch in our next printing contract. We noted with int e res~ that Georgina de Lagran 's letter came to us in a used envelope with the old address covered by a label - a practice we encourage other readers to follow.

On a similar environmental theme, we also received a letter from Hugh Elliott, OAC '23, of Paris, Ont., recommending two recent magazine articles - "The Pacific Forest" by Catharine Carfield in the May 14 issue of The New Yorker and a critique of that article by Alan Fotheringham in the May 28 issue of Maclean's.

A message from UGAA presidentJim Atkinson: Since being elected presi­ dent of the UGAA, I 've looked back over my shoulder and asked: " How did I get here?"

It was just four years ago that I attended my first alumni association meetingas a faculty liaison per­ son for the CBS alumni association. Now I teach in the Department of Animal and Poultry Science.

Over the next rwo years, I'll be working with other alumni on th e UGAA executive and the planning committee to ensure the

4

association will remain a strong link be­ rween alumni and the University.

It's clear that the association must redefine its role and then communicate that role to its members. Many oftoday's graduates are earning degrees in programs that cross college boundaries. 1l1eir alumni affilia­ tion to the University may not fit into the traditionai college associations. The Gryphon Club and the HAFA and en­ gineering alumni associations are evidence that the UGAA umbrella must he large enough to accommodate a diversity of alumni interests and affiliations.

We need to develop a strong voice in University affairs, increase our service role and look for new ways of nurturing alumni

relationships during the early years of fami Iy growth and career development.

OvC has led the way with its continuing education programs, but there is a lot of potential for the UGAA and the other as­ sociations ro add ress th e postgraduation learning needs of al umni . [n addition, the development of undergraduate student alumni involvement is an impo rt ant initia­ tive.

It's an exciting time to be part ofthe alum­ ni nerwork, as we try ro build a model flexible eno ugh to mee t the challenges facing alumni associations - not tomor­ row, but 15 years down the road .

Mixing farming and-forestry

A relatively new idea in - North ­ America, agroforestry practices are common in the Third World, where the iittercrop­ -ping of food and fuel .crops is necessitated by population presAbove, -Ontario 's Washington Creek sures. Interest in witba newplantingo/poplars. Rigbt, - developed countries, the same spot five years later. however, is environ­ mentally _driven, says ~rof. Andrew Gordon of Guelph's agroforestry program. Agroforestry addresses many of the problems facing -agricul­ ture on this continent - soil erosion, maintenance ofmarginal­ lands, degraded streams and loss of wildlife habitat. It can also provide a profitable way to diversify farming operations.

Maple syrup production is an agroforestry appliciltion, but Gordon suggests that intercropping corn, grain and hay crops -with valuable hardwoods such as black walnut and red oak also has great potentiaL Last year, Ontario imported more than S93 million worth of these woods from the_United States as lumber, logs and veneer. ­ - Inaddition to intercropping, agroforestry also -includes the planting oftrees in areas used to pasture livestock, as sheHerbeIts '

To do this, researchers across Canada are using biotechnology tools to clone the juvenile free­ growth traits of superior trees. Con­ ifers behave somewhat like children, says Ho. Whereas mature trees grow a prescribed amount each season, juvenile trees grow several times a season, much like children who have sudden spurts of growth.

In conventional breeding programs, only half the desirable genes are transferred to the progeny, and it takes almost 40 years before a stand of trees can be evaluated. Ho is cloning the desired characteristics by rejuvenating a tis­ sue culture from a superior tree.

The technique has been successful in apples, roses, grapes and eucalypti, but only partial rejuvena­ tion has been achieved in conifers.

Growth regulators are used to culture a piece of tissue to produce a shoot that will grow roots in a test tube. The mini seed­ ling is then transferred to soil.

"We are still learning the methodology," says Ho, but when culturing techniques have been perfected, the rejuvenation process may become routine in 6

within the expanse of a cash crop and windbreaks on boundary lines. Tree plantations can also be used to reclaim marginal lands , but may make their greatest contribution in the stewardship of water, says Gordon.

Stream-side forests have been shown to make dramatic improve­ ments in the water quality of degraded agricultural waterways.

The trees benefit from leached-nutrients that would have run into the stream, and their root systems reduce soil erOSion. They also_ rehabilitate the stream fOffish populations water by lowering temperatures and provid­ ing organic _matter (leaves), an important food source for stream in­ vertebrates, which in turn -serve as fo()d for fish.

- "The reforestation of land along waterways might also compensate into the next century for losses of woodland due to urban growth," says Gordon.

providing superior cloned stock for reforestation projects.

Last fall, the laboratory initiated a project on somatic embryogenesis that is a first step in the production of artificial seed. Many scientists across Canada are working on similar projects to clone superior genotypes from zygotic embryos that are removed from dissected seeds. To date, embryogenic calli have been regenerated, and early somatic embryos have been developed on the calli in black and white spruce. The next step is to es­ tablish plantlets that bear both a shoot and root, eliminating the rejuvenation step.

"If successful, this process will render rejuvenation technology ob­ solete," says Ho. Its value will lie in the ability to produce multiple seed­ lings from one superior embryo.

But researchers still have a long way to go, he says. One of the un­ answered questions is why only a few of the zygotic embryos cultured will produce embryonic calli. Ho believes the answer lies in genetics.

"Scientists still understand very little about the genetics of trees.

Genetic studies in tree species are probably 50 years behind our knowledge of crop species, which are another 50 years behind scien­ tific understanding of human genetics."

Urban forest - Within most cities, there are hundreds of acres of damaged and unproductive land that could be growing trees, says landscape architecture profes­ sor Jim Taylor. If we're serious about regreening our urban areas, why not start in the industrial parks?

Taylor is looking at the poten­ tial for a reforestation project in Guelph's industrial park. Initiated by private-sector landowners, the project will require co-operation and a financial commitment from Guelpb Alumnus

-

several hundred landowners. But imagine the contribution an urban forest would make to im­ proving the environment of the city.

Plant succession - U of G landscape architect professor Victor Chanasyk and botanist David Smith believe an understanding of plant dynamics is essential for those in­ volved in land-use planning and the management of natural areas.

They've developed a course describing the natural succession of plant life, which is usually triggered by an ecological disturbance of some kind. It may be catastrophic, as with wildfire in Northern Ontario'S boreal forest, or less severe, such as the gap formation caused by windfall of trees in more southerly deciduous forests.

Sustainable environment ­ Last year, the University formed an Institute for Environmental Policy and Stewardship (IEPS), of which Arboretum director Keith Ronald

((We mustreduce the speed in which we are accelerating our evolution to extinction. " later assumed directorship. TIle in­ stitute is committed to achieving a sustainable environment and has tar­ geted forested lands as its first priority, largely because of the knowledge and research expertise in the natural and social sciences that already exists on campus. It welcomes involvement by alumni and others interested in global en­ vironmental issues.

Situated at The Arboretum, the institute offers decision makers a neutral site and an objective view­ point for discussion. It is also com­ piling a database of global concerns and efforts in the management of forested lands, offering the oppor­ tunity for both economic and ecological analysis, says Ronald.

The Arboretum recently hosted a conference on the greening of southern Ontario. IEPS offers a dis­

Alumni comments: TIle current interest in- "rcgreening southern Ontario" is -wekomeq by Peter Uhlig, CBS '81 and M.Sc. '84. A forest ccoJogist with' MNR to. Sault Ste. Marie, Uhlig says Ontario's northern environOlemsare highly resilient incoOlparison with the forests that used to exist in southern Ontario. ' Efforts (0 save northern timber have wide public appeal, says Uhlig, but he'd like to see more emphasis on reforestation in unused agricultural and urban land areas in the south. "It would have an imm~diate and profound impact on the environment in terms of water qllality, wildlife habitat, erosion and cooling." , , 'The problem of prematureharvesting is being addressed by !3uchanan Prooucts inc. of Thunder Bay, ont., a producer of construction lumber. Owned by ,K enneth Buchanan, OAC '56, the company has initiated a program to thin mature stands of jack pine. " , , . The oldest trees will be harvested individually, leaving the younger stockfor another five years. The program will maxi­ Juize the economic value and ultimately reduce the number of , 't rees it takes,to build a house. " White spruce, lodge pole pine and sub alpine tir are the "breadcand-butter" tree species that concern Andrea Eastham, OAC '77 and M.Sc. '84, a research sCientist with the British ~~olumbia Ministry of Forests,in Prince George. She's . working on projects aimed at improving seedling quality and suitability for the reforestation site.

'W hen it comes to the preservation of Canada's forests, .Lisa -Buse, OAC '84, thinks many environmental advocates are fight­ Ing the symptoms when they should be looking at the cause of forest destruction. A project forester for MNR in TIlUnder Bay, Buseworks primarily with ,the black spruce species to improve , reprodi.lction rechnologies. The industry is simply responding Guelph Alumnus

tance education course, TIle 5,000 Days, that addresses a broad range of environmental concerns, and has produced a discussion paper on the management of forested lands. It has also submitted a formal response to the federal government's The Green Plan - A Framework for Discussion on the Environment.

While applauding the government's attempt to put the en­ vironment at the forefront of the public agenda, the IEPS response says The Green Plan still places growth and development ahead of environmental preservation. The catch phrase "sustainable develop­ ment" doesn't go far enough, says lEPS. "We must reduce the speed in which we are accelerating our evolution to extinction. The mes­ sage is 'a sustainable environment,' and our success in achieving this ob­ jective will be directly proportional to our ability to get the message across."

to public demand for wood products, says Buse.

"Demonstrators who picket paper mills carrying cardboard signs or build plywood tree houses to stop logging operations are not very convincing."

Barry Diamond, OAC '68 BIA, director ofparks and recrea­ tion for the Nova Scotia Department of Llnds and Forests, says people are , becoming more interested in understanding the environment. Not only do park visitors ask for interpretive programs, but they demonstrate a willingness to get involved in park planning, he says. Public input into a 1988 policy review reinforced the department's long-standing policy that prohibits commercial extraction of timber within park boundaries.

Environmental damage caused by current logging practices goes well beyond the loss of trees, says Henry Kock, OAC '77, a horticulturalist at The Arboretum. 'I1Iese practices also destroy plant and wildlife habitats that were protected by the forest canopy, allow the land to dry out and alter the environ­ mental conditions of nearby streams and lakes.

But there is a better way, says Kock, who offers encourage­ ment to pulp and paper operations that are using shelter belt harvesting. Under this system, the logger, the ecologist and the botanist collaborate to decide when and where to cut. About 30 per cent of the trees are left behind in stands resembling peninsulas on an ocean of clear-cut areas. They reduce open areas where the 'wind can sweep through to cause drying and erosion. Reforestation is not necessary. The "peninsulas" slowly grow out like an amoeba until they till in the cut areas. ' A1ternative management practices, however, can not keep pace with current levels of consumption, says Kock. "North Americans make up eight per cent ofthe world's population and consume 60 per cent of its resources. To really make a dif­ ference, we have to work with government, industry and con­ sumers to reduce our consumption offorestry prOducts."

The talc's presentation makes it irresistible to contem­ porary readers, Graham says. " It's avant-garde, it's decadent and full of contradictions. It's a study of evil, hut it's a very moral presentation, told in a very light-hearted way. What makes it modem ,lOU what fas­ cinates people is this narrative contradiction between its presentation and the import o f the suhject. Reading it is a sort ofvoiupruous torment ."

111at continuing fascination with the tale mem[ there was a lot of interest among col ­ leagues to submit essays for the collection, says Graham.

He wamed to publish it in 1987, the bicentenary of Beckford's hirth, but it took until this year to reach bookstands.

He says both collections should interest the general horror story reader, especially in Canada. Canadians have a particularly strong taste for horror, which Graham at­ trihutes partly to the long, cold, dark winters.

The Tradition ofHonors

F e University of Guelph's tradition of granting honorary degrees continued at spring convocation with the awarding of four degrees.

The recipients were Howard Rapson, a Canadian expert on research in the pulp and paper industry; Rosemary Brown, former member of the British Columbia Legislature and champion of equality for minorities and women in Canada; David Daiches, British author and ex­ pert in Scottish studies; and Roberta Bondar, OAC '68, Canada's first female astronaut.

A fifth candidate for the honor, Allan Bromley, a nuclear physicist and science adviser to U.S. President George Bush, was unable to at­ tend.

TIle University has awarded 118 honorary degrees since receiving degree-granting privileges in 1964. The first recipient was Harvard University economist John Kenneth Galbraith, OAC '31, in 1965.

Since then , several other Guelph alumni have received the honor, in­ cluding Bondar, Alberta statesmanJ.W. Grant MacEwan, OAC '23A and '26 (1972), and Canadian broadcaster George Atkins , OAC '39 ( 1989).

Honorary degree recipients represent a diversity of nationalities, cul­ tural backgrounds and endeavors. They are people who have used their educations and their talents wisely and have made enormous contribu­ tions to the betterment of life for everyone.

Among them are the late George Ignatieff, former ambassador to the United Nations (1970), humanitarian and journalist June Callwood ( 1989), Celia Franca, founder of the National Ballet of Canada ( 1976), wildlife artist Robert Bateman ( 1985) and writer Margaret Atwood (1985).

The University has also recognized the achievements of scholars and scientists beyond Canadian borders, including British scientist Alexander King, founder of the Club of Rome ( 1987), French mathe­ matician Benoit Mandelbrot ( 1989), U.S. cancer researcher Harry Rubin ( 1988) and British mountaineer Sir Edmund Hillary ( 1983 ).

Other recipients have had a more direct influence on the University community - Nicholas Goldschmidt, founder of the Guelph Spring Festival ( 1984) and William A. Stewart ( 1976), Ontario's minister of agriculture when the University was created by act of legislature in 1964. Stewart repaid the honor many times over between 1983 and 1989, when he served as chancellor.

Guelph's honorary degrees carry with them the same rights and privileges that go with all undergraduate and graduate degrees.

Nominations are put forth by the various colleges for approval by the University Senate.

At spring convocation, the University awarded honorary degrees to, top to bottom.' Howard Rapson, Rosemary Brown, David Daiches and Roberta Bondar. FollOwing tradition, each recipient delivered a convocation address.

Lobby group formed

The Wispa and Wispalong hoists from Waverley Glen have been engineered to ease both the strain, and the worry, associated with the lifting and traversing of disabled and elder­ ly persons. Sturdy enough to withstand the rigors of profes­ sional use, these simple-to-con­ trollift systems also are ideal for use in a private horne.

niversity alumni from five major Ontario universitics - Guelph, Queen's, Toronto, Waterloo and Western - ha e joined forces to or­ ganize a citizen's group to lobby the Ontario government for more fu nd­ ing for universities.

"Fri · nds of Ontario niversities" is the b ginni ng of a pennanent lobby group representing the inter­ csts of universities, says Lisa Wilson, HAFA '84, president of the HAFA Alumni Association.

The objective is "to assist Ontario universities by promoting ap­ propriate government funding policies," says Wilson. The first priority will be to try to reverse the current trend in reduced govern­ ment spending in higher education, she says.

According to the Council of On­ tario Univc::rsiti s (COU), the universities' share of total govern­ ment spending has declined from 5.9 per cent in 1977/78 to 4.5 per cent in 1989/90. Wilson says it'ses­ timatcd that Ontario ranks ninth among the 10 provinces in terms of government support per student.

Friends of Ontario niversities will also try to encourage business and individuals to become more in­ volved in the support of universities.

The group is encouraging people to question their MPPs and provin­ cial candidates about university fund­ ing. "Ask what they intend to do to benefit Ontario universities," she says.

The GAA has supported three proposals put forth by COU for dis­ cussion during the provincial elec­ tion campaign.

The proposals include a govern­ ment commitment to match private gifts to universities, a trust for the ad­ vancement of the social scicnces and humanities, and infrastructure sup­ port for science and technology to rebuild stocks of scientific and tech­ nological equipment, supporting the province's new thrust in this area.

Wilson also hopes to organize a Univer ity of Guelph group as an ann of the provincial organization. For more infonnation, call Alumni House, 519-824-4120, Ext. 21 22.

A profile of artists

Jane and Ron Eccles

"We had the sense that every­ thing is possible," says artist Jane Eccles, Arts '70, of her student days at the University of Guelph.

One gets the same feeling from Jane's Patch Work canvases, which now hang over the main stairway of the MacKinnon build­ ing. Patch Work depicts the fea ­ tures and the personali ties of 10 women, scrambling their images to form something of a female archetype. The women seem to understand each other's sym ­ bolism - they adapt and ex­ change qualities with each other.

The 20 canvases share the Guelph alcove with a sculpture

by Walter Bachinski - the fine art professor who helped instil in Jane that feeling of possibilities - and a new abstract painting by her husband, Ron, Arts '70. En­ titled Erratic, it uses the colors of earth, stone and sand to mellow strong geometric shapes.

"I think of myself as building structures as much as paiming pictures," says Ron. The couple met and married while studying art at Guelph.

Ron had transferred from the On­ tario College of Art to earn a BA. Jane had been majoring in history and English - until she took clas­ ses in drawing and sculpture to relax from the pressure of thesis writing.

"My love of fine arts and for the individuals who create works of art was awakened at Guelph ," she says.

Today, the Eccles live and work in a renovated 1856 farmhouse in BowmanvilIe, Ont. Ron has been able to provide at -home care for their sons, Ryan, 10, and Bradley, 6, while working at home. Jane teaches art at Bowmanville High School.

Cedars hold on to secret of lo ng-life Two years ago, botany professor Doug Larson was hanging over the cliff edge of the Niagara escarpment near Mil­ ton, Ont., to study lichens when he grabbed on to a secret that has surprised even the scientific community.

He discovered that the gnaded, half­ dead cedars growing on the cliffs are Ontario's oldest trees Shown as exact size, tvis section of - some of them an ancient cedar shows more than more than 700 years 300 growth rings. old.

Larson and his col­ leagues were more than a little bit excited about the dis­ covel), and the possibilities it offered for studies of past climates. Not to mention the chance to find out how eastern white cedars - normally found in wet, swampy areas - could survive for centuries without soil and in the extreme climatic conditions of the cliff face .

The trees are still holding on to their secrets, says Larson. He was struck originally by their ability to grow slowly - some growth rings are only one or two cells wide. Now he is equally amazed by the variability found in the ancient forest.

Two 400-year-old trees, growing only a few metres apart, can vary in diameter from two-thirds of a metre to a few centimetres. The first may have the normal 12 growth rings for every 2.5 centimetres of wood , whereas growth rings in the second may be only one or two cells in width.

Clinging to life on the edge of the Niagara escmpment, the bot­ tom halfof tvis 625-year-old white cedar is dead, but life con­ tinues as the tree stretches upward.

16

"It's very difficult to make predictions about climatic conditions in the year 1590 when you only have two cells to look at," says Larson.

The dwarfed cedar is more interesting, he says, but the larger brother may provide more information. Both are growing from cracks in the limestone cliff face. They are nourished by water percolating through the porous limestone, but how they got there is still just a theory, he says.

The perseverance of this ancient forest has generated a level of public interest that Larson hopes to harness.

Compared with other coniferous forests, the trees are small and deformed and have little economic value. This is the species used for rail fences and shingles, not pulp and paper, he says. That means researchers "can study them to explain the basic functiOning of forest ecosys­ tems without stepping on anyone's toes."

The scientific community needs to do a better job of educating people about the dynamics of a forest, says Larson. The ancient cedars contradict the common per­ ception that old trees are large.

"If we discover that the growth and survival of this species requires a degree of interaction in the ecosys­ tem that we don't provide, then it may change the way we grow and harvest conifers in other places," he says.

Forest undergrowth survives harvesting Harvesting trees doesn't seem to have any short-term adverse effects on the shrubs and undergrowth in south­ central Ontario forests, says botany professor Richard Reader. But, he cautions, there isn't enough data to make predictions for the long-term impact on either the rich­ ness or the variety of the plant species making up the forest undergrowth.

Reader has been monitoring Carolinian deciduous forests on the north shore of Lake Erie for the last five years. His study, supported by Ontario's Ministry of Natural Resources, was intended to determine the im­ pact selective cutting in these forests - that is, current harvesting practices - would have on the undergrowth.

This layer of vegetation is important because it con­ tains some species of plants that are only found on the shores of Lake Erie. After conducting a pre-harvest assess­ ment, Reader selectively cut the largest, most economi­ cally important trees, remOving up to two-thirds of the trees in the forest. This represents the extremes - from minimal operation to intensive cutting. The ministry was interested in minimizing the impact that cutting would have on the understory growth, says Reader.

"As it turns out, there was no short-term impact," he says. The shrub layer and herbaceous species regenerated rapidly, both in their density and in the types of species that grew back.

These preliminary findings should not be interpreted as a licence to cut up to two-thirds of available trees in forests, he says. The long-term implications of intensive cutting need a longer observation period.

Supercomputing comes to campus The University has entered a new league of re­ search computing with its acquisition of a million­ dollar project supercomputer system from Silicon Graphics Canada Inc. to establish a numerically inten­ sive computing (NIC) faCility on campus.

The faCility will allow Guelph scientists and stu­ dents to do large-scale research computations. It will include two project supercomputers, the IRIS POWER Series 4D/ 340S and 4D/ 380S. Together, the machines have 192 megabytes of core memory and 34 gigabytes of disk storage capacity.

Many disciplines and research projects will benefit from the computing power available in the NIC faCility. For example, chemistry and biochemistry researchers are calculating from first principles the electronic properties of atoms and molecules. Physicists are studying the molecular structure of the surface of water. A project in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics involves studying surface catalysis of chemical reactions.

Animal and poultry scientists are doing genetic parameter estimations in livestock, and landscape ar­ chitects are doing photorealistic rendering in their work.

Under an agreement with Silicon Graphics, the University received substantial discounts on equip­ ment and maintenance. In return, the University will serve as a testing ground for Silicon equipment, in­ cluding a high-performance GTX graphics subsystem that will be evaluated and demonstrated at a 1991 computing conference on campus.

New PhD program approved This spring, the University received final approval for a new PhD program in applied mathematics and ap­ plied statistics. The program offers a unique combina­ tion of emphases, says Prof. Bill Smith, Department of Mathematics and Statistics. ll1cse include specializa­ tions in mathe matical biology, dynamical systems, numerical analysis and optimization, linear and non­ linear models, survival analysis/ life testing and bioassay.

The program reflects current interest in the major scientific diScipl ines and recogn izes the levels of scholarship and research with in the department , says Smith. "These specialties, along with the uepartment's state-of-the-art comp uter facilities, make it one of the most advanced in the country."

The department has established a unique industry link through the Math and Stats Cl inic and offers stu­ dents access to an advanced computer research laboratory. Established in 1980, the clinic conducts re­ search for industry sponsors, develops software, presents short courses and offers a consulting service.

Each of the problems that it tackles for industry be­ comes a teaching tool, offering valuable experience to both graduate and undergraduate students.

In 1983 , the department installed the first under­ graduate microcomputer lab on ca mpus and has con ­ tinued to upgrade equipment. "'n le department's computer facilities are probably unrivalled by any similar department in Canada," says Smith.

Faculty supervise 25 graduate students in M.Sc. and PhD programs in the University-wide biophysics group, the Guelph-Waterloo Program in Physics and the new departmental program.

E.C. WILLIAMS OAC '34 1903-1974

OAC welcomed the Welshman Whether it was his red hair or his Welsh ancestry, Edmund C. Williams, OAC '34, was one of the college's most determined and colorful students, Born in Wales in 1903, Williams came to Canada at ;m early age and worked as a farm hand before moving to the nited States, With a college educatio n <Cj his goal, he in­ vested the money he earned as a construc­ tion worker, a lumberjack and a cowpuncher only to see it evapo rate in the financial c rash of 1929, Poorer, but no less determined, Williams arrived at OAC in September 1929 to enrol in the associate diploma program in agriculture, He found a sn.ldent job at 25 cents an hour and talked the head of the chemistry department into Jet­ ting him sleep on a cot in the basement, It's repo rted that Williams existed for a whole academic year on porridge, cheese and stale bread liberated from the college dining room , When Williams completed the two-year program in 1931 , he immediately enrolled in the inter­ mediate year, , , and moved his cot to the attic of the dairy building, After graduation, he returned to Britain to work at the Nationallnstilute fo r Research in Dairy­ ing, He later w o rked for a dairy in North Wales and moved to Singapore in 19.38 to become general manager of Cold Storage Creameries Ltd, His determination stood him in good stead during the J:lpanese invasion of Malaya - 1941 to

1945 - when he W:lS interred in Changi. A happier time followed in 1948 when he met and mar­

ried his wife, Muriel.

The couple eventl.Jally returned [Q the United Kingdom to retire o n the Isk of Man. In 1971,

Williams came to Guelph for a class reunion. He toured the campus with classmate Ron

Greenwood., OAC '34, and purchased two alumni ties a.'i mementos of his college days at Guelph.

Williams died in 1974, leaving a bequest of nearly half a million dollars to provide scholarship awards to OAC students. run ed in memory of his mother, the Mary Edmunds Williams Fellowships of $4,000 each are awarded annually to 12 OAC students in PhD or M,Sc. programs.

When MUl"iei Williams died in January 1989, a further bequest of more than S1 millio n was received to provi de schOlarships of $5,000 a year for PhD students in OAe. These awards, totalling $135,000 annually, enhance the competitiveness of OAC departments in attracting top gradate stu­ dents to Guelph.

E,e. Williams is remembered fondly by his cla.ssmates and college. And by the many graduate stu­ dents who have benefited from his determination to succeed,

Cheryl McPherso n , CSS '86, says her parents put a curling rock in her hand when she was eight, and she's loved the sport ever since. It shows. She has a gold medal fro m the Canadian women's championship tournament held last March in Ottawa and a bronze medal fro m the world championships played a mon th later in Swede n.

McPherson curls lead on the Alison Goring rink from the Bayview Curling Club in Thornhill, Ont. Winning is not new to this team. They won the women's Canadian junior championship in 1983 and have a gold medal from the Canada Winter Games. They've played in the provin­ cial championships for the last fo ur years and were n m­ ners-up £wice before claiming the gold medal last year.

McPherson also curled on the Gryphon Jadies' varsity team for three years and has competed in mixed curling on a rink that included her brother, Scott. That team won the provincial mixed championships in 1987 .

"When our parents first signed us up for curling, we were tOo small to throw a full-size stone," says McPherson, whose future p lans include coaching.

When she isn 't curling, McPherson works as an editor and supervisor of the textbook department for Canada Law Book Inc., a publisher of law books in Aurora.

Alumnus of Honour Florence Partridge, Mac '260, has touched the lives of several thousand Guelph alum足 ni who knew her as the librarian at Massey Library - first for OAC, then for the Federated Colleges and , finally, for the University until her retirement in 1971.

Throughout her career, Partridge was an active community volunteer and a patron of the arts. She developed the Massey Library's collection of paintings by Canadian artists - now pan of the University collection at the Macdonald Stewart Art Centre - and she organized many art exhibitions in the library.

She established the Florence Partridge Fund, which has provided 15 major work...;; for the University collection.

When the art centre opened in 1980, Partridge became its first docent and is still active in training docent recnlits.

She was founding president of the University Women's Club of Guelph (now the Canadian Federation of University Women) in 1945.

Fight­ ing is an important social activity for children, says Lollis, who is work­ ing with Hildy Ross, a psychology professor at the University of Water­ 100, to learn how toddlers develop relationships with other children of the same age.

In addition to fighting, they some­ times give Mom a break by engaging in pretend play, structured games and conversation.

along with their peers. We wanted to know how kids initially learn rules that we as adults know when interacting with another individual, such as: 'Don't use another's proper­ ty without permission.'"

They looked specifically at mater­ nal intervention when children are fighting, and found that mothers fre­ quently got involved in play-time conflicts and usually directed com­ ments to their own child. And what they said "overwhelmingly sup­ ported the other child," says Lollis.

She found that conflicts over ob­ jects or toys have different rules and categories. Object fights erupted over concepts such as ownership and prior possession. Youngsters as young as 20 months understand who owns an object, she says. A common claim was: "It's mine'" Toddlers also understand the concept of prior possession, which means that whoever has an object may play with it until it is given up.

All parents know the cry "} had it first! " An interesting fact about ob­ ject fights is that children fight even if there is no object or if there are 10 identical objects, says Lollis.

The study found that mothers generally told their own children to share objects in their possession, but to respect prior ownership if it was another child who had the ob­ ject.

Lollis says mothers should not be criticized for this inconsistency be­ cause they may be balancing several social agendas at once. Over and above teaching their children rules related to ownership and prior pos­ session of objects, mothers are also teaching concepts of generosity, compassion and generally how to be good hosts to others. Sometimes the basic rules for entitlement can conflict with consideration for others, she says.

Lollis and Ross are also involved in a study on sibling interaction and rules of conduct within a family unit, supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.

Are you buyin g strawberry-flavored dinosaurs?

by Barbara Chance If you've ever had to wade your way through a grocery aisle full of sugar-coated, strawberry-flavored, battery-operated cereal in the shape of dinosaurs to find the corn flakes you've been buying since you were old enough to solo with a shopping cart, you've probably asked yourself: "Who needs all this/ " And the answer is: Somebody. "If enough 'somebodies' somewhere weren't buying this cereal, it wouldn't be sitting on the shelf," says Prof. Trevor Watts, Department of Consumer Studies.

Of course, some products don't have much of a life on the shelf.

They become a fad for a year, then slip into oblivion when a new fad comes along. Kids' cereals, in par­ ticular, have a knack for passing comet-like through your friendly neighborhood grocery store, says Watts. "It's because young people today want so much variety and change."

Today's manufacturers need to know their consumers and markets well, says Watts. Introducing any new product is a huge financial risk, so manufacturers need to know who's going to buy their product and whether or not it's going to be around for awhile. If it's just going to be a fad, they need to be able to plan it as a fad product and profit from it while it lasts.

"There is a continual effort to in­ troduce products on the market," says Watts, "but a lot of them fail.

The failure rate of new food products - from original idea to being successful on the shelf - has been estimated as high as 80 per cent. The biggest cause of failure is that the product doesn't fulfil a Guelph Alumnus

need in the consumer's eyes."

It's also a question of timing, he says. "Sometimes a p roduct can be introduced before consumers are ready to accept it. Twe nty-five years ago, a baby food was put out on test market in a package rathe r ilian a glass jar. After it was opened, it had to be refrigerated. It failed in the test market because people couldn't believe that baby food could be good and safe if it wasn't in a glass jar. Three years ago, a similar concept of dehydrated baby food that sits on the shelf in a plas­ tic container was introduced and ap­ pears to be successful. 'The failed baby food was just 25 years too soon."

Because of the high cost of intro­ ducing new prod ucts, many manufacturers today choose simp ly to change or improve the old ones instead. That's why you'll read a "new and improved" label on your favorite pudding or detergent every few years.

"Peripheral variations involve much less time and expense for re­ search and development and much less risk for a manufacturer," says

Watts.

But they don't necessarily suc­ ceed either. Sometimes manufac­ turers have to learn the hard way that you can't always improve on a good thi ng. Just ask the corn chip makers who decided a great varia­ tion on their product would be to color the chips blue.

Congratulations!

Diploma program celebrates milestone

'1976

1983

Q

.~

OAC reached a milestone in June when Cheryl Stanley of Bristol, Que., became the 7,000th graduate of the diploma in agriculture program. Primarily funded by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, the pro­ gram began in 1874 and, according to these other mile­ stone graduates, has been picking up speed ever since. #1,000 - Frank Paterson, ,12A, of Scarborough Township, Ont., graduated from the program when he was 18 and went to work for $1,200 a year as an assistant agricultural representative in Peel County. When he retired 48 years later - earning $9,000 a year - he had also served the districts of Muskoka, Parry Sound and East Nipissing and the counties of Durham, Norfolk, Weiland and Peterborough. He died in 1977. Paterson was fol­ lowed to Guelph by his brother, George, OAC '24, his daughter, Molly Nix, Mac '410, and four grandchildren. #2,000 - Clare Young, '32A and '35, was known to his OAC classmates as "Duke." In 1937, he married Dorothy Kent, Mac '35, and joined the agricultural department of Inco Ltd. in Copper Cliff, Ont., where a major part of his job was to inspect crops and compen­ sate local farmers for damage caused by smelter fumes.

Young became head of the department in 1956, and was recognized by the American Institute of Mining, Metallur­ gical and Petroleum Engineers in 1971 for his pioneering work in industrially stressed land reclamation. Now 82, he still lives in Copper Cliff. His son, Don, is a 1969 graduate of OAC. #3,000 - Thomas Sawyer, '59A and '64, came to Guelph from a mixed farm near Mitchell, Ont., and says he is "still addicted to agriculture." He worked in pes­ ticide development for 27 years, 22 years for Ciba-Geigy Canada Ltd. He served three years as industry chair of the Expert Committee of Weeds for Eastern Canada and two years as chair ofthe national organization. He is now ex­ ecutive vice-president of the Fertilizer Institute of On­ tario.

Sawyer has maintained close ties with the University.

He is president of both the classes of '59A and '64, past president of the OAC Alumni Association, chair of the OAC Alumni Foundation, vice-chair of the Alma Mater Ad­ visory Council and a member of the OAC Advisory Com­ mittee. #4,000 - Jack Fraser, '68A, took his OAC diploma back to the farm and operated Spring Farm Holsteins in 24

Bramp ton, Ont., with his brother. They developed Spring Farm Citation Rosetta, who became grand champion at the Royal Agricult ural Winter Fair and All-Canadian Aged Cow in 1977. She was reserve grand champion at the World Dairy Expo in Wisconsin in 1979.

In 1980, Fraser established his own herd, Fraeland Farms, and again had reserve grand champion at the World Dairy Expo and All Canadian Four-Year-Old with Don-A-DaleJet Crystal. He farms 500 acres and has 150 head of purebred Holsteins and is active as an interna­ tional dairy cattle judge. #5,000 - John Wilson, '76A, is owner and operator of Birkbank Farms in Orton, Ont., with 320 acres of produce and 100 acres of alfalfa forage. He is involved in growing, packing and shipping fruit and vegetables. He also operates a farm roadside market and a wholesale produce business.

Wilson is chair of Agricultural Groups Concerned About Resources and the Environment, director of the re­ search committee for the North American Strawberry Growers Association and member of a federal advisory committee on incorporating the Pesticide Control Produc ts Act into new legislation involving hazardous mate rials in the workplace. He has also served with the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, the Fruits and Vegetable Growers Association, the Asparagus Growers Marketing Board and the Canadian Horticultural Council. "'6,000 - Martin Klomp, '83A, grew up on a Perth County dairy farm, but earned his OAC diploma in hor­ ticulture. He started his own business - Klomp's Nurs­ ery and Landscape - on the corner of his father's farm at St. Pauls, Ont., with a small garden centre and tree nurs­ ery and a service in landscaping, grass cutting and main­ tenance. In 1987, Klomp and his wife, Barbara, moved the business to a 1O-acre parcel between Stratford and St. Marys, sold the landscape portion and now concentrate on the garden centre. #7,000 - Cheryl Stanley represented the Class of'90A on the student federation and later as president. She was a member of the livestock judging teams and specialized in the agribusiness program. She is now working for the HolsteinJournal as a livestock advertising associate, covering the areas of eastern Ontario and Quebec. Her sister, Cathy, was in the Class of '89A. Guelph Alumnus

Shuttle bound

..

Only a handful of Canadians will ever have the chance to look at Earth the way Roberta Bondar, OAC '68, will.

Canada's first female astronaut, Bondar will be part of a seven-mem­ ber Columbia shuttle mission scheduled for launch in mid-199I. "When I'm not taking my work shift, I'll be looking out the window," says the 44­ year-old native of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. As a payload specialist, Bondar will carry out research ac­ tivities on behalf of scientists in 13 countries. He r main area of interest deals with space sickness and the effect space travel has on the movement of body fluids.

A graduate of Guelph's zoology program, Bondar received an honorary degree from the Univer­ sity in June. She told fellow graduates that the space program has made her "more aware of how unique this planet is. We need to use the knowledge gained through space science to raise the conscious­ ness of what's happening to our en­ vironment on a global scale."

What's after space for Bondar?

Getting back to Earth, both literally and figuratively, she says.

"Being part of Canada's history is great, but there are a lot of other things I want to do in my life. I started out at Guelph 22 years ago in an environmental vein and now I'm corning back to it."

It was a Grade 10 science project' that brought Bondar to Guelph. In­ fluenced by Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring, she wanted to do a project on genetic resistance to DDT in fruit flies .

"I was probably 10 years too early for that project," says Bondar, "but I was at least a month too late in starting it."

countries, so we don't need many astronauts," she says. Opportunities are much greater in the other wings of the space program.

For years, Canadian scientists have been ac­ tive in space science, looking at upper atmos­ phere, stars and other objects in the universe.

"We are world ex­ perts in certain areas," says Bondar. "We also have a fantastic reputa­ tion for building great communication satel­ lites and for using other satellites for remote sensing" (looking down on the Earth).

Canada will put up Computer simulation by Doug Masters its own Earth observa­ tion satellite (Radar­ sat) early in this decade, she says. "It will have radar facility to help us look through ice blocks and to inven­ tory our wildlife and our forest stands."

Because of the high profile of the astronaut program, a large part of Bondar's job invol­ ves puhlic relations. "I think we astronauts have a responsibility to be very knowledgeable about the other parts of the space program and to pass on that knowledge to the general public."

After a family lunch, alumni will be treated to a light-hearted look backward to the schoo l's begin­ nings with Prof. Doug Hoffman, OAC '46, M.Sc. '49, former direc­ tor of the school's predecessor, the Centre for Resources Develop­ ment. The day will conclude with comments from alumni on their personal viewpOints and the chal­ lenges they've faced.

USRPD is a U of G experiment that succeeded, integrating the in­ terdiSciplinary Centre for Resour­ ces Develop ment in to a unique professional/academic program.

communications has stood her in good stead, she says. Even as a student, "I had a real commitment that scien­ tists should be able to communicate their ideas better."

She encourages people - especially young people - to write for information, posters, photographs and lapel pins to the public relations branch of the Canadian Space Agency, National Re­ search Council of Canada, Building M60, Montreal Road, Ottawa KIA OR6.

"Space is uppermost in the minds of our young people because they can see it in their fu ture," Bondar says.

Sru~D offers master's degrees in both Canadian and internation­ al rural p lanning and develop­ ment, works closely with more than a dozen academic units across campus and provides professional development courses for those working in the field. It is also home to the Un iversity's 10­ year Sulawesi Regional Develop­ ment P.roject in Indonesia.

The work of both faculty and students in the school is p ublished broadly. Last year, USRPD produced a special edition of Plan Canada, the journal of the Canadian Institute of Planners, on rural planning and development in Canada.

Douglas says USRPD "will con­ tinue to respond to the changi ng and complex rural agenda ­ working toward sustainable com­ munity development and environ­ men tal stewardship, contributing to academic research and enhanc­ ing the effectiveness of the plan­ ning p rofeSSion in Canada and in the international context."

Through the halls ofOVC

Following in famous footsteps Although she's the great-great granddaughter of oves founder, Angela Wingate, OVC '90, says it was horses - not family tradition - that made her want to be a veterinarian. "} was training horses at Flam­ boro Downs fUceway when I decided to become a veterinarian," says Wingate. She and her husband,John Whelan, now operate Whelan Farms at Troy, Ont., where they train and race standardbreds. Wingate also works at the Park Road Animal Hospital in Brantford.

She is the second of Andrew Smith's descendants to attend OVe. His son, King Smith, earned a veterinary degree and taught courses at the coHege from 1897 until it moved to Guelph in 1922. The younger Smith then went on to medical

school and became a der­ matologist.

A Scottish-born veterinarian, Andrew Smith founded OVC in 1862 at a time when the horse was the bulwark of the economy of Upper Canada and veterinary medicine was being practised by Angela Wingate

blacksmiths without any formal traini ng. Smith was both a veterinarian and an avi d horse­ man. He showed ho rsts unti l hI:: was well into his 70s, says Wingate, and he d ied in J 9 10.

Perhaps it was family tradition that brought Wingate to OVC after all.

Sharing the honor "These things you are honoring me for were not done in isolation," said Dr. Kenneth Wells , '38, on receiving the 1990 OVC Distin­ guished Alumnus award at Alumni Weekend. "I had the help of a very good team, namely the veterinarians of Canada, many of whom are here today."

Wel1s did, indeed, work with many OVC col­ leagues during his 19 years as veterinary director­ general of Canada. During his career, he served 36 years with Agriculture Canada's Health of Animals Branch and is one of the few civil servants known personally by almost every prominent stock producer in the country.

Wildlife pathologist Ian Barker, OVC '68 and M.Sc. '70, has relieved public concern about insect-transmitted disease of potential danger to both dogs and humans.

In Canada, Lyme disease hysteria is far more com­ mon than Lyme disease itself, says Barker, Canadians and their pets appear to be at very low risk of contract­ ing the disease, he says.

In an Ontario study, the tick that carries the disease, Ixodes dammini, was found in nature at only one loca­ tion - Long Point on Lake Erie. There is a greater risk in the coastal northeastern United States from Mas­ sachusetts to Delaware, Minnesota, Wisconsin and parts of the Pacific northwest.

Lyme disease is readily treatable by antibiotics if diag­ nosed early, but it's difficult to diagnose because it mimics other conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis and Bell's Palsy. People most prone to the disease are outdoor workers and outdoor enthusiasts, In the United States, the disease has also been impli­ cated in arthritis and myocarditis in dogs, arthritis and abortion in cattle, and ophthalmic disease, encephalitis and arthritis in horses.

Researchers still have a lot to learn about the diag­ nosis of the disease and the transmission biology of the tick, says Barker. The only distinctive clinical sign is a bull's-eye rash around the tick bite, but only 50 to 60 per cent of infected persons develop the rash. Blood tests may also be inconclusive.

He is currently working on a study for Health and Welfare Canada to determine ways of preventing the disease in Canada and to gain a better understanding of the tick's biology. Insect repellents, long pants and shirts are the best preventive measures, he says.

S uper Match '90 sponsorship of the OVC Pet Tmst Fund is one way of showing the public that the college is serious about canine disease. Passing on the knowledge gained through research is another.

Over the summer, pathology professor Owen Slocombe, OVC '61, a specialist in parasitology, has been interviewed several times about his research into heartworm - a debilitating mosquito-borne disease af­ fecting dogs.

Although the disease is slowly moving northward from the United States, most dogs in Canada are not at serious risk, says Slocombe. Heartworm is considered endemic around the cities of Montreal and Winnipeg and in lower southern Ontario, along Lake Erie, the Niagara region and Lake Ontario and north of Toronto around the Lake Simcoe, Peterborough and Midland areas.

Slocombe's research at OVC is the first in the world to define the disease's transmission period. He found the rate of worm development is linearly related to temperature, ranging from 29 days at 18 C to only nine days at 30 C. In Ontario, for example, the transmission period is June 1 to Oct. 8.

The worm initially develops in the skin and m uscle ",'~-- and gradually moves into blood vessels as­ sociated with the heart and lungs, causing weak­ ness and impaired breathing. It can also cause liver and kidney damage. The condition is treatable, but the treatment is both expensive and severe.

Slocombe has monitored the disease annually since 1976 and says the prevalence in Canada has decreased because of preventive efforts by veterinarians. O ne On­ tario survey found heartworm in 16 per cent of dogs not taking preventive medicine, compared with one per cent in dogs that were.
