Go, Brock Business Team!

Brock's business students have established a national reputation as a result of their outstanding performance in the first round of the Intercollegiate Business Competition (ICBC). In cumulative standings, Brock finished in the top five--our best showing ever. The ICBC, dubbed the "Stanley Cup of Undergraduate Business Schools," is conducted annually by host institution Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. Brock will send four teams to the final round at Queen's later this month. Teams made up of two to three students were slotted into six categories: Marketing (Paul Morris, Mike Russell); Labor Arbitration (Wendy Martin, Bryan Guilfoil); Management Information Systems (Matt Hillier, Edmund Lau); Finance (Barbara Manchester, Darren Griffith); Accounting (Geoff Ostrow, Steve Campbell); and Business Policy (Geoff Colley, Art Janzen, Dan Botari). Twenty-five to 30 teams competed in each of these categories. In the first round of competition held in October, the teams were sent a case study by mail. Length restrictions and a strict deadline placed great demands and pressure on the participants, who were also managing a full course load. Each team submitted a written report of analYSis and recommendations to be judged by a board of professors and prominent business people. The aim of the competition is to provide the opportunity for students across Canada to exchange ideas, develop new skills and promote their respective schools and programs. Barb Manchester, a finance student in her final year at Brock, finds the competition to be a truly challenging experience. "It was very interesting and has taught us a great deal about our business field by presenting us with a real-life situation and asking us what we would do." When results came in after the first round, Brock teams had made their mark with two first-place finishes and one second­ place finish. Brock will send teams to the finals in Business Policy, Labor Arbitration and Finance. As a member of the Finance Team, Barb is looking forward to the finals. "We will get to meet some very impressive people who are established in the business community, as well as top business students from across Canada." Students were chosen by their business professors to participate in the ICBC. These students are active in their classes and student clubs. Several are working on their second degree and all share ambitious career aspirations. Because of its top-five overall standing, Brock will send a Debate Team to the final round. Paul Morris, a third-year marketing and finance major who originally competed in the Marketing Team, and Karen Sealy, a psychology graduate now working on her business degree, are looking forward

The navy, he said, is "a lens through which the United States perceives itself as a world power." There are two competing explanations for military strategy, he said, in international relations theory: as a response of the state to external factors, and as a response to domestic interests. Some would argue that it is only in response to domestic or constituent interests. In that case, Mr. Mitchell said, "international relations itself may be a misnomer; it

Congress countered that they would carry fewer (-by Janet Lee) aircraft, providing less protection. The Navy said it needed a minimum of 12 large carriers.

Long May It Wave

Another piece of Brock University history fell into place December 13, 1994 at President and Mrs. White's Eggnog party in Pond Inlet. As in past years, everyone came together to cel­ ebrate the holiday season and to rec­ ognize the newest members of Brock's Quarter Century Club, who received their commemorative watches. This year, they gave something back to the University. Over the past year, employees who had been at Brock since 1969 made plans to underwrite the cost of a special project to present the University with its own distinctive flag. In the words of Bill Matheson, who spoke on their behalf, "We wanted to return something permanent to the University in appreciation for our 25 productive and enjoyable years of service." Prof. Matheson introduced the ad hoc committee responsible for the flag's design: Chancellor Robert Welch; President Emeritus James Gibson; Chair of Senate Jack Miller; Film Studies, Dramatic and Visual Arts Chair Joan Nicks; BUSU President Paul Bruin; and the Venerable Ralph Spence, Archdeacon of Trafalgar and Rector of St. Luke's Anglican Church in Burlington. The Reverend Mr. Spence, Canada's pre-eminent flag and regalia expert, played a significant role in the project. It was he who determined what symbols would appear on Brock's flag, as he explains: "The flag of Brock University is indeed the Banner of Arms of the Grant of Arms to Brock University. The main feature is a Gold Winged Eagle with an open book on its breast, the Book of Learning. Yellow and red are the two colors associated with academic institutions, and the eagle was once thought to be the bird that flew the highest and was the wisest.

New Film About the Arctic Premieres at Brock

Brock graduate Kevin McMahon was present at the premiere of his new film In the Reign oJTwilight in the Podium Theatre last Friday night. Based on his book Arctic Twilight: Reflections on the Destiny ojCanada's Northern Land and People, it took good advantage of cinematic techniques to show how the world of the Inuit people was forever changed when the United States set up its DEW-Line (Distant Early Warning) installations to detect Soviet missile attacks. Little understood by other Canadians, the people of the North seem to be valued only for their carvings and statuary; even those have been reshaped by the market's demand for larger pieces than the traditional artists created. As the film opens, the narrator asks, "If we got their icons, what did the Inuit get in return?" Later, three government officials recall how the Inuit "had absolutely no education," because they didn't go to school. Their recurring reminiscences are balanced by interviews with Inuit residents of three villages. We find them seated individually or in pairs on a pile of animal skins before an icy horizon. In their own language or in English, and with characteristic humor, young and old all express sorrow over their vanishing traditions, even as they credit the DEW-Line with providing jobs and a less exacting way of life. Just so, one comes away from the film mentally juggling images of abandoned DEW sites where heaps of rusted metal hide the PCBs leaking into the landscape, which are contrasted with images of snow-white igloos and jolly, fur-clad Inuit children. As the narrator concludes, "Knowing where you live is the hardest thing of all." After the final credits rolled, Kevin McMahon invited questions from the sizable audience. There was only one. Later, retired English Professor Gordon Coggins explained to the filmmaker that everybody was too busy mentally processing the film to have questions ready for him. Fortunately, there will be opportunities to continue this processing, or to see In the Reign oJ Twilight for the first time: TV Ontario will broadcast it January 25 and 29, on its program "The View From Here."

You see, Warren was a professional musi­ cian and often played venues in the Niagara Region. On several occasions, Clarke travelled to the Prince of Wales in Niagara-on-the-Lake on Saturday nights to listen to Bill Stevens' Dixieland Band, in which Warren was a banjo and guitar player. "They are tremendous. It's really enter­ taining and lively music, and they put on a great show," reports Clarke.

It's Almost Here: The New Child-Care Centre

Be watching the southwest "corner" of the Willow Circle, around the end of February. Jane Cripps, director of the Rosalind Blauer Centre for Child Care, says construction should begin about then on the centre's own building. She signed the construction agreement last Tuesday, and expects the centre to open for business in September 1995. "This has been 24 years in the making," the happy Ms. Cripps declared. She has been director of the Centre for 25 years, in its Faculty-of-Education "temporary" home. The new facility of about 6,000 square feet will be located next to Parking Lot S, fronting on the Willow Circle and with its back facing the Student Village. Ms. Cripps hopes there will be a bus stop nearby. A self-contained facility will not be the new centre's only advantage. Currently it is licensed for 32 preschool children. In the new building, it will be licensed for 52 children-10 infants, 10 toddlers and 32 preschoolers. The centre is mandated to give priority to Brock students' children, who currently account for 99 percent of its charges. Jane Cripps emphasizes the importance of this service to single mothers among the student population; the centre's open-door policy is a benefit to them, too, since they can visit their children at any time. The increased number of spaces will mean the centre can accommodate more faculty and staff members' children, too. (Any remaining spaces are offered to the community at large.) Ms. Cripps expressed gratitude to the University for donating the land and a loan toward the cost of construction. Major funding came from the jobsOntario program. The final construction cost, however, was over budget; so the centre was forced to omit some elements from the interior, which it is hoping to replace through private donations. These include some of the cupboards and shelving, window seats, a parents' resource area that was to have been in the coatroom, a children's garden outside one of the playrooms and-most lamented of aU-a reading loft. The centre needs about $18,000 to replace these items. Its president, Brock student Bobbie Pietrangelo, will be asking BUSU for help. Vice-president Debbie Shiers-Gray (Secretary, Computer Science) will be instrumental in approaching faculty and staff members for donations; if you have questions, she can be reached at ext. 3513.

Two More Outdoor Sculptures Coming

With a wry smile, President Terry White observes, "Works of art can be good vehicles for commentary and dissent, which are normal for a university. I'm very pleased that we have a major sponsor who can make such artworks available to us. The big pieces he has already provided have added another dimension to Brock." The sponsor Dr. White refers to is Lutz Teutloff, an art dealer who makes his home in Germany and has major galleries in Cologne and other cities around the world. His first contributions to the Brock campus were "Path of Possibilities" and "Bleeding Harp," by sculptor Ilan Averbuch. "I can remember the comments about both, at the time," says Dr. White, "yet I think people have come to enjoy both of those pieces, and we continue to get lots of comments." More recent additions, including the controversial "She-Wolf," provide other landmarks on the campus. Donor Lutz Teutloff thinks the Brock campus is a beautiful site for his sculptures, and is pleased with the way the University looks after them. "It's his way of supporting the efforts of the University," says Dr. White. "He's impressed with what we've accomplished." From time to time, Mr. Teutloff recommends to Dr. White a sculpture he thinks might suit the campus. The President takes the suggestion to his Advisory Committee on the Fine Arts (chaired by the Dean of Humanities) and, based on their advice, responds to the offer. The sculptures are installed on the campus at no cost to Brock, except for the modest expense of a concrete pad; they are covered by a rider on Brock's insurance policy. The two new steel sculptures are by Buky Schwartz, an internationally-known artist based in New York City. "Facing Another" will be installed on the Podium behind the Senate Chamber, at the top of the stairs leading up from DeCew Residence. At the other end of the Podium, in front of the new theatre, "Facing Eternity" will be installed. "Facing Another," worth $25,000 U.S., has already arrived from an exhibition in Poland; "Facing Eternity," valued at $29,000 U.S., will be coming soon from an exhibition in Tel Aviv. Artist Buky Schwartz and donor Lutz Teutloff will visit Brock later in the year. They'll view the placement of the sculptures and meet with faculty, staff and students of Film Studies, Dramatic & Visual Arts, and anyone else interested in the sculptures. basis of what has always defined a family has been Whose Baby Am I? changed by these technologies, she observed.

Development Landmines

In honor of International Development Week, the Politics Brown Bag Seminar invited Education Professor Al Wheeler to speak from his perspective as a science teacher with a long-standing interest in comparing education across cultures. And he has crossed quite a few: Tanzania and East Africa, Southeast Asia, China, Egypt, Yemen, Pakistan, Sri Lanka. "Not a day goes by," he reflected, "that I don't draw on my overseas experiences and learnings." He posed the question, "How can we as Canadians best effect meaningful and measurable development in countries less fortunate than ours?" Responding personally to his own question, he admitted to having "grave misgivings about some of the things we have done ... and I have done ... in the name of development." Whatever Canadians do in the future, Prof. Wheeler believes we must consider four key factors. The first is context, the natural setting in which education takes place. Prof. Wheeler sees this as the greatest barrier to development. Educators need sensitivity, he said, and a willingness to operate in a different context. He gave the example of a student in his grade-nine science class in Tanzania. Although this student had been very keen to learn, he suddenly disappeared from class. Prof. Wheeler got only evasive answers to his queries about why the student was absent. He finally went to the student's village, and the student told him a curse had been put on him. Prof. Wheeler tried to convince the student that curses were nonsense. "I attended his funeral five days later," he concluded. "How many times have I and others like me condemned such beliefs and behaviors without understanding their context," he wondered. Another barrier is curriculum, on two levels: the course of study; and the hidden curriculum, which can be more important and can have disastrous effects on the educational experience. Much of the curriculum for parts of the developing world can be traced to colonial times; it is inherited. As a science teacher, Prof. Wheeler asked himself, "Is quantum mechanics really relevant to people in an agricultural community?" It's difficult to adapt a foreign curriculum to a local context. The third factor is change. Education is resistant to change, Prof. Wheeler observed, giving the example of the 12 Malaysian students who came to Brock.

International Activities At Brock "Going Global- Europe 1992": A Faculty Funding Opportunity

The International Division of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC/ID) has announced the program "Going Global - Europe 1992," a competition sponsored by Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada (F AITC). Professor Bert Holland, Chair of the Department of Chemistry, was successful in the competition last year with a proposal entitled "Polymer encapsu­ lation of microorganisms for oxidative biocatalysis." Dr. J. Vulfson, of the Institute of Food Research in Reading, U.K., was Professor Holland's European partner. FAITC will allocate $65,000 to university researchers and professors interested in continued exploration or establishment of new joint technological research-and-development projects with Western European partners. Maximum contributions of $5,000 per project will be available to cover part of the travel cost. Revival or consolidation of ongoing projects with European partners will also be considered, except for those university exchange programs that are already established. The objective of the program is to enable Canadian universities to explore, establish or consolidate joint research-and-technology development projects with European partners that should lead to industrial or economic advances for Canada. As with many government-funded programs these days, the competition carries several conditions. Primary among these are, first, that the university (or alternative source) match the contribution of the program in cash or in kind to cover at least one third of the total cost; and, second, that applicants must demonstrate (with relevant exchange correspond­ ence) that there is a mutual interest in co-operation. Potential partner countries and priority fields of interest are listed in the Guidelines document. Copies of the Guidelines and application forms have been distributed to all academic deans and are also available through the Office of he Associate Vice-President, Academic. The deadline for project submissions is February 27,1995.

When Is an Increase in Your Stock NOT a Good Thing?

You are likely to see a number of changes in the way Brock uses paper, all with a view to going through much less of it. In the past several months, the cost of all forms of paper stock has increased in the order of 40 per cent. By the end of the year, the cost of paper may have increased by as much as 90 percent. External Relations and Purchasing saw the effects of a massive shortage of paper as they negotiated with printers over the past few weeks. "We have done a number of things to reduce our costs over the years" says Grant Dobson, Executive Director of External Relations. "Student Liaison Manager Ronika Fraser reduced the cost of our viewbook by printing every two years rather than annually. Ads purchased in Surgite/ by banks and insurance companies cover the cost of our four­ color covers. And we will combine Brock's annual report with this year's summer issue of Surgite/" Yet even more had to be done to balance budgets that have remained flat for several years, with increased demand for publications as more prospective students seek information about Brock and 2,400 more graduates are added to mailing lists each year. "We thought tendering all our annual printing to a number of qualified printers would reduce costs significantly. Then the increases in stock hit," says Mr. Dobson. "The lowest quote indicated that External Relations would spend $18,000 more this year, even given the economies of placing all printing with the same printer. And those costs are not guaranteed for a month, let alone a year." Every office in the University uses paper, and all will see the same impact on their budgets, since there is no sign of stock prices returning to sane levels any time soon. In the case of External Relations publications, you may no longer get your own copy of our periodicals and Campus News may have to become a biweekly. And External Relations may not be able to produce that new departmental brochure or poster you've been thinking of. Some good ideas for saving paper stock, and thereby lots of money, have already come through the "Ideas in Action" process. These will be carefully considered along with any other suggestions our readers submit. From the Vice-President, on human development in general, tells us a lot about adolescence, middle age and aging," he explains, "but Academic not much about the third decade of life, which is A number of concerns were raised by the members pivotal.

Nigeria: Jumping Off the Bandwagon

Dr. Leo Dare spoke on recent problems in his native Nigeria at the February 28 Politics Brown Bag Seminar. With a PhD in political science from Carleton University, Dr. Dare returned to Nigeria to pursue research and scholarly work as well as political activity. But last summer, the very problems he was speaking about forced him to return to Canada. African nations are so diverse, he said, that it is difficult to generalize about them; but despite "their wealth of natural resources, their lack of institutions, combined with human greed, has caused them to produce "so much human misery." Africans, he pointed out, adopted European philosophical ideas, including democracy, to fight European domination. But, he argued, "There is no political system that does not pervert some aspects of democracy. Africa has had more than its fair share of these perversions." To make democracy work, a country needs institutions: impersonal rules, regulations and political procedures to which individual preferences are subordinated. "Nation-building is meaning­ less without institutions," Dr. Dare said. Political structures like a constitution or political parties can be created overnight; but political conventions take much longer. Since Nigeria's independence in 1960, the country has had several constitutions, but no political conventions have arisen to support them. By 1985, Nigerians were very uneasy about being ruled by the military. They elected a new president who promised that his would be the last military regime to govern the country. "In retrospect," admitted Dr. Dare, "one could say we were all fools!" The new president promoted a "bold and imaginative" national debate on the political future of Nigeria. After the year-long debate, participants recommended a new constitution, two political parties, political education and mass mobilization, and transition to a non-military government in five years. But there was no ideology to support the political system, Dr. Dare reported, and all the participants became opportunists. "Everybody jumped on the bandwagon, and didn't know where they were going. The two political parties were centrist: people called them the Yes Party and the Yes, Sir Party."

The government established institutions to train political candidates and to retrain them after election. It built two lavish party secretariats in every local electorate.

Test Your Future Space

Major Dee Brasseur joined the Canadian Forces in 1972 as an administrative clerk. Her progress from there to becoming one of the first two women fighter pilots in Canada ... and in the world... was the subject of her talk for Women's Studies last Monday night, in celebration of International Women's Day. Herself the daughter of a military man, she said her parents were the traditional family: perfect housewife and father-provider. She and her brother shared all chores equally, from doing dishes to maintaining the lawn ("I usually mowed, because I was better at mechanical things"). The "best, biggest, fastest tomboy in my neighborhood," she headed to university to study physical education and become a teacher. "The only thing that kept me there was basketball," she admits. Her parents encouraged her to join the regular officer's training program of the military; but she discovered women couldn't serve in the physical education division. She signed up as a typist, but didn't stay there long. "I was not being all that I could be," she quips with a wry grin. She applied for a commission to be an air weapons controller, becoming the only girl on her crew "and the boss, because no one else was qualified." After some time running a radar station "in a hole in the ground," she realized this was not the way to become airborne. Then, in 1979, the military opened a trial program allowing women into nontraditional jobs­ pilots, navigators, flight engineers-and she immediately signed up ... along with 1,250 other women. After a week of aptitude testing, she was selected for flying. Of her colleagues in the program, 165 would eventually become pilots. At a press conference announcing the program, reporters asked Maj. Brasseur what made her want to fly. No, she hadn't always wanted to be a pilot. No, she wasn't doing this to prove something for women. "Hundreds of women had been flying in the First and Second World Wars!" She went solo after 10 hours-three hours shorter than the average. Her male colleagues were "not supportive." Competition among would-be pilots is fierce, she admits. "You had to try to be better than the best man; then you were accepted as 'equal'." Since she wanted to fly fighter jets, she reasoned that the best thing to do was be a trainer so that she could continue to develop her skills. It would also give her the opportunity to help other women along.

The World's Greatest Growth Industry

Intolerance. We see it on the street, hear about it in the news, read about it... and some of us feel it. Intolerance is "the world's greatest growth industry," said Dr. Irving Abella in his March 8 address at Brock. The President of the Canadian Jewish Congress was the keynote speaker at a conference on racism and response. Intolerance, nativism, racism and anti-semitism seem to be more noticeable in Canada these days, he said; but we cannot talk about Canada without reference to what is happening elsewhere in the world. Today's racism is fueled by two specific forces, Dr. Abella said: economic problems and the immigration-refugee crisis. Canadians feel threatened---even under attack-by refugees. The "bacteria of hate" are spreading all around us, he said. The Republicans have enacted an anti­ immigration law in the U.S., where affirmative action is also under attack, and it is evident that "this is not a good time to be in human rights services." Canada's immigration policies of the past were racist and exclusionary, Dr. Abella said. In a descending order of preference, British, northern-European, central-European, southern-European, then Jewish immigrants were on the permitted list; admittance for anyone else was a special case. After World War II, Canada opened its doors to these "other" immigrants; today they are the majority of our immigrants. "Canada now looks like the United Nations and people don't like it," Dr. Abella observed. Public-opinion polls have found that Canadians are hostile toward multiculturalism; Dr. Abella suggested that this was just another case of "media hysteria." It's a myth that immigration increases unemployment, decreases household incomes and causes social problems, he said. Most immigrants are law-abiding, bring money into the country and pay more in taxes than they receive in social assistance. After five years in Canada, they are less likely to receive social benefits than a person born here. Multiculturalism, Dr. Abella said, has opened minds that have been closed, reminds Canada of its heritage, enhances self-image, increases pride and has given Canada a sense of uniqueness. Speaking for the Canadian Jewish Congress, he addressed anti-semitism by saying Canada's Jewish communities are "economically strong, influential and educated, and have strong voices. For those reasons, others feel resentful toward the Jewish community. According to public-opinion polls,

The Right to Know, or the Right to Show?

Lavvyer Edward Greenspan and Prime Time News host Pamela Wallin are familiar faces to CBC-TV watchers; nor was their March 21 debate the first time they have discussed in public the issue of freedom of expression vs. fair trial. Almost 900 people crowded the Sean O'Sullivan Theatre and the Podium Theatre (where remote TV coverage was provided) to hear this Willmot Distinguished Lecture. Arguing for the TV camera's role in court trials, Miss Wallin said the conflict was "between the right to know and the need not to telL" Legal professionals are a closed circle, she implied, and want to keep it that way. The Charter of Rights guarantees a free trial and a public one, she said. Freedom of the press is the right to expression plus the right to obtain information. Media access to a court trial guarantees "my right to go into any courtroom and witness what goes on there. That's the best guarantee of an effective justice system." Miss Wallin cited the Supreme Court's decision not to ban the TV program "The Boys of St. Vincent" as supporting freedom of the press and the electronic media. Television is a distinctive form of coverage that can't be equated with print media, she argued. "We seek the opportunity to tell the truth." Mr. Greenspan observed that trials, especially great ones, have always interested the public, serving many functions besides judging guilt or innocence: they "mirror the dark parts of one's soul," crystallize society's conflicts and help us to understand concepts like anarchy, treason or prejudice. But public interest also has a tendency to distort the procedures for judging persons accused of crime, he argued. "When media coverage permeates public passion, the environment created by the media severs the process of justice." The media sometimes publish crime news irrelevant to the trial process, he said, but it sells newspapers or TV advertising time. This is information jurors would not otherwise hear, he pointed out, nor is press coverage delivered under oath. "In my view, the media in this country have not been responsible enough to the sensitivities of the trial process," he concluded. "Trial by media brings into the courtroom the passions and values of the marketplace." Free press and fair trial are equally important, he said; but if necessary, "fair trial must prevail." Miss Wallin attacked Mr. Greenspan's "patronizing attitude," saying, "Let's get real! This is the age of instant communication. These things are discussed on the Internet before they're on a TV screen. Reportage delayed or denied is freedom of our collective expression denied." She conceded

Broadcast coverage of trials is essential ironically to the rescue. If you missed the debate, to educating the public, she said. "I believe that watch for it on TV Cable 10, March 28 at 2:00 pm, publicity is the soul of justice." April 1 at 9:30 am or April 4 at 3:00 pm.

He would know that all Health, Environment of this imperils fair trial." To Miss Wallin's Committee argument that he is a member of an elite, he said, "There's no club in Toronto that will have me.

Brock's New Wines Make Official Debut Members of the media were invited to the Pendale Centre LCBO last Wednesday after­ noon for the official announce­ ment of Brock's 1995 Private Label wines. President Terry White, Brock graduate Debbie Pratt of Inniskillin Wines and Jim Warren of Stoney Ridge Cel­ lars were joined by Pendale LCBO Manager Doug Brown atthe new wine display. Brock Business Professor Sharon Broderick was there as a mem­ ber of the LCBO Board. Left to Right: Jim Warren, Gunther Funk, Dr. White, Ken Douglas, Debbie Pratt Gunther Funk and Ken Doug- las (also Brock graduates), who selected the wines for Brock University, were also on hand. And the wines themselves-the Stoney Ridge 1993 Pinot Noir Reserve and Inniskillin's 1993 Riesling-were available for tasting. This is the third time Brock University has selected wines to bear its private label. Previous selections were available only in case lots through the University's Administrative Services Department. The 1995 wines can be purchased at any LCBO store, by the bottle or by the case.

Attention Brock Wine-Lovers! You are invited to a charity tasting of the new Brock wines tomorrow April 6 at noon in The Gallery, Sean O'Sullivan Theatre.

Nobel Laureate Knows Very Little About Science

Canada's most recent Nobel-Prize winner, Dr. Bertram Brockhaus, was guest of honor at a media conference April 5 in the Univer­ sity Club. "I know very little about science, really, in one sense," he admitted. "Does anyone else?" Scientists are so specialized, he said, that "no one can hope to have a general appreciation of what's going on at the frontier." His other "problem" as a scien­ tist: "When do you not apply science? You can build nets that are several miles long, but ought you to build nets that are several miles long, and haul in great Bertram Brockhaus and Bill Cade amounts of the ocean?" Dean of Mathematics and Sci­ ence Bill Cade hosted the media conference, to kick off the 1995 International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), which will be held in Hamilton May 7-13. This is the first time in the fair's 45-year history that it has been held outside the United States. Ed Domenichetti, chairman of ISEF 95, recalling his long association with Brock University as a science consultant in the schools, commended the University's "good work" with elementary and high-school science students. ISEF 95, he reported, will have more than 1,000 students competing from 30 countries, and almost 1,000 judges drawn from both public and private sectors. continued ... were Don Davidson, from and past a sense of individual dignity."

Photocopier Deal Completed

After several months of competitive bidding and detailed negotiations, the committee responsible for selecting new photocopiers and service has completed its task. Members of the selection committee were Ray Birmingham, Jim Hogan, Walt Thiessen, AI Pedler and Betty Little. Eleven companies in all were involved in the competition to replace the University's 53 photocopiers. The final selection is as follows: 15 Xerox photocopiers in the Library and one Xerox photocopier in Printing Services will be supplied by Xerox Canada Ltd. JBM Office Systems Ltd. will supply 36 general-use Lanier photocopiers. Both Xerox andJBM are well-respected companies that retain offices and service staff in the Niagara Region. Xerox-"The Document Company"-offers to our Library equipment that will facilitate proper book copying. Their high level of service and preventative maintenance should ensure efficient operation. Lanier Corporation and JBM Office Systems have joined in guaranteeing first-class service and the finest equipment. Lanier photocopiers are used by major corporations including Northern Telecom, Sun Life and Apple Computer. The new photocopiers are state-of-the-art technology and will feature in most cases faster processing, double-sided copying, automatic document feed and collating capacity. Training sessions for faculty and staff members are scheduled in July; details will be announced soon. The equipment exchange is expected to take place in mid-July. Improved and guaranteed service are part of the new arrangement. Any questions should be directed to ext. 3276.

Leo LeBlanc Ro·wlng Centre No"W" Open

During a sudden break in the clouds on the rainy morning of May 11, Leo LeBlanc cut a blue ribbon, officially opening the new indoor rowing facility that has been named for him. As the opening ceremonies pro­ ceeded, it became clear that every­ one present was hoping the new rowing centre would indeed spark a more general change in Niagara's economic future. Terry White recalled his disap­ pointment, as Brock's new presi­ dent, to discover that the Universi­ Leo LeBlanc at the Rowing Centre ty's rowing program was not as strong as he had expected; and how he pulled together a group of people who ought to know, and asked them, "What do we need to do to be the best rowing university in the country?" The current push toward an elite rowing program-which includes the appointment of full-time, Olympic-level rowing coach Joe Dowd; the acquisition of new shells; and the new indoor rowing facility-is a result of that group's recommendations. Dr. White unveiled a plaque on the centre's wall, reading "The Leo LeBlanc Rowing Centre. In the sport of rowing, dreams are fulfilled only through hard work and co-operation. The Leo LeBlanc Rowing Centre is the embodiment of these virtues. Built through the hard work of people from Brock University and the St. Catharines Rowing Club, and generously supported by the Federal Government, the Provincial Government and private donors, this centre is a symbol of what can happen when people work together to realize their goals. 11 May, 1995."

John Sivell New Dean of Humanities

As of July 1, former Interim Dean John Sivell began a five-year term as Dean of Humanities. Prof. Sivell has been a faculty member in the Department of Applied Language Studies since 1983. He was educated at the University of To­ ronto; King's College, Cambridge; the University of East Anglia, in Norwich; and the University of Wales. His career in English-as-a-second -language (ESL) and English-as-a-foreign-Ianguage (EFL) has taken him to Iran, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, France and-Iately-Thailand. He feels this background has equipped him particularly well to be a dean of humanities at this point in Ontario's educational history. The British Council, for whom he taught ESL, "has a worldwide reputation for being a commercial success based on quality. This disproves the idea that economic planning and academic quality are opposed to one another." What is Dean Sivell's goal for his term in office? "It seems to me that when we face challenges such as uncertain funding for universities and a new government, we need to be open to reassessing ourselves. Of course, we may well find out in the process that many tried-and-true aspects of the status quo are just fine! In any case, we need a good environment of open and well­ informed discussions, so that everything is everyone's business and everyone's interests are everyone else's interests. Last year's APC and hiring decisions were done all as a group; not that this was a brand-new idea, but the time was certainly right for it. "The humanities are a very diverse group of disciplines. Such varied groups can't perceive each other clearly without open discussion. In times of tight budgets, it's particularly important for everyone to know what everyone else is getting, within the limits of legitimate privacy. There are two ways of assuring this kind of communication: the I security blanket' of open administrative structures; and the artistic, humane side represented by such things as our new approach to the Faculty's latest annual report. I hope to facilitate this kind of needed discussion." Bert Holland: Distinguished Brock Researcher

H.L. (Bert) Holland of the Department of Chem­ istry has been chosen to receive the 1995 Award for Distinguished Research from Brock Univer­ sity. This is the second year the award has been given. Dr. Holland is acknowledged world-wide as an expert in the field of biotransformations, the use of micro-organisms to carry out chemical reactions. The principle is as old as wine­ making; but the field was not widely studied Dr. Holland's work has made an impact until the mid-1950s, when researchers in the among chemists, microbiologists and biochem­ major pharmaceutical companies saw the poten­ ists, both professionals and students.
