COU Responds

to Underfunding

By Don J ose , OAC '49. he Counci l of Ontario Universities (COU) has approved a COU

T staff-prepared study of the roles of federal a nd provincial

governments in the financing of universities in Canada. Accepted by COU's executive, the study was prese nted to the Ministry of Colleges and Universities (MCU) and then forwarded to the feder al government through the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada. Th e study stresses the need to preserve the level of infrastructure existing in Canadian universities and permit the Universities to maintain present lev el s of teaching and research, Dr. Edward Monahan, executive director of COU , told a media briefing in Toronto. Data assembled for the study show the complexity of university funding by analyzing sources of revenue in five categories: operating reve nue, research funds, ancillary services, student aid, and capital support.

Ontario Ranks Near Bottom The current picture on operating funds in Onlario is discouraging when compared with that in most other provinces of Canada according to updated figure s just released in a stud y conducted by a committee representing the Ontario Council on University Affairs (OCUA) and COU. A number of different indicators have been used 10 rank the provinces and to calculate national averages in support of universities. These include such figures as total dollars per ca pita of the total population , and percentage of personal income. On most of the eight indica tors calculated, Ontario now ranks very near the bottom of ailihe provinces. The figures have been tabulated for each year beginning with the academic year 1974 / 1975 a nd continuing to 1979/1980, the latest year for which complete data are available, Over that period, Ontario's ranking on all indicalors has dro pped. Dr. Monahan said that the most significant figure is the share of personal income spent on the universilies. [n this category , Ontario ranks dead last with $9.06 of every $1,000 of personal income, while the national average is $11,15, and Newfoundland's is $15.48,

Grants Drop by 12 Per Cent New figures for Ontario , released recently by OCUA, a provincially appointed advisory boa rd to the MCU, show that between 1978/1979 and 1981/1982 university grants in Ontario dropped by 12 per cent, while alJ government spending dropped by only 4 per cent. " While univer sities have received a declining share of government expenditures, it a ppears that government's expectations of lhe university syslem have not diminished, " the tripartite report says. The OCUA report furlher notes that in the ten years since 1970/1971, in terms of constant dollars, provincial support per pupil in primary and secondary schools has risen by 50 per cent, while university operating grants per Full Time Equivalent student have dropped by 18 per cent. The OCUA report also points out the meteoric rise in cost of library acquisitions in recent years. Between 19721197 3 and 198011981, cost of periodicals ha s risen by 155 per cent and lhe cost of monographs by 230 per cent. Faced with underfunding during the same period, universities have been unable to maintain library expenditures a nd library acquisitions have decreased by 35 per cent ov er the period. 0

Alma Mater Fund Re aches New High

1981 Campaign Breaks

$300,000 Barrier

By Jo hn He arn n article on university fund raising, which appeared in the Toronto-based Financial Post recentl y, describes the activity in terms of manipulative techniques cunningly evolved to exploit alumni guilt feelings. The article goes on to speak of " maudlin letters," " high pressure telephone fund raisers" and the " massaging of egos." Not surprisingly, Guelph was not one of the universities reviewed in the article. The University of Guelph Alma Mater Fund (AMF) broke through the $300,000 barrier in 1981 despite the absense of "maudlin letters" or "high pressure techniques." No egos were massaged and none, it is hoped, were rumed. Far from leaving alumni "limp with guilt," to quote again from the Financial Post, the campaign was conducted in terms which provided alumni

with opportunities for thoughtful appraisal of the University and those extras which help make all the difference. Their dona tions were both an expression of personal generosity, and a vote that these programs should continue. It is easy, particularly from the point of view of those who did all the work, to see the Alma Mater Fund Campaign as a giant exercise in logistics involving large numbers of people, a great deal of midnight oil and a veritable blizzard of mailing pieces-the end product of which is a bewildering mass of statistics.

Over 500 Volunteers Having said all tha t, the fact remains that Dr. Alfred Vanags, OVC ' 59, the 1981 campaign chairman, presided over an outstanding team of over 500 dedicated volunteers who can take comfort in a n

"WAkE-I/P 511<-, Y()//1?â‚Ź flAPING

Tf-//lr D,eÂŁA1v1 /l6A/IJ."

a rray of record-breaking figures. The grand total of $334,963 from 6,108 donors represents a hea lthy increase over last years figures. A partici pation rate of 21.3 per cent puts the University of Guelph Alm a Ma ter Fund in the top three of Canadian universities (McGill University 24 per cent, Queen's University 22 per cent). The true success of the annual campaign, however, is not measured by the targets achieved, but in the lives of those whose University years are enriched by experiences which the Fund makes possible. While the fund-Taisers were busy contacting alumni in 1981, the generosity of those same alumni, in the previous year, was a lready being felt across the whole spectrum of University activities.

College Ad vancement Funds O A C's Dean Clay Switzer, OAC '5 I , reports that the College Advancement Fund made possible an in-depth study of co-operative education programs which has resulted in the University deciding to move into such a program, set up an office to administer it and appoint the appropriate administrators. OVC's Dean Doug Mapleston, OVC ' 50 , reports that with the dr yi ng up of oth e r travel funds, a supplementary travel allo tment from the AM F made it possible for faculty members to participate in several activities which would otherwise have been missed. FACS Dean J a net Wardla w made good use of $2,600 from the College Advancement Fund to provide appropriate furniture for family co unse lling activities in the Child and Family Services and Resear ch Unit. Dea ns of their respective colleges, Murr ay , Vanderkamp , M acDonald and Ronal d also reported favoura bly on the di scretionary funds put at their disposal to meet s uch non-budgetary items as vi sitin g professors , graduate tr a vel, special conferences and seminars, scholarship seed money, etc. The University library was able to acquire the Liza rs and Wilkinson collection of manuscripts and books. This includes primary material rel ati ng to The Canada Company, as well as several John Galt autograph letters. The collection represents one of the few intact pioneer libraries still in existence. In addition to large purchases, numerous single items were acquired in the fieJds of agriculture, family studies, and economics, to name but a few disciplines.

Arboretum Extras The Arbo retum completed two special trails for the handicapped, one for the visually handicapped and one for strollers and wheelchair users. The Memorial Shelter Building at the Arboretum now provides shelter for those congregating to take one of the tours. A 2.5-km Fitness Trail, under development within the Arboretum perimeter, is complete with ten exercise stations. None of these, or the many other projects completed or in process at the Arboretum, would have been possible without the help of Alma Mater funding. Professor Erik Jorgensen, Arboretum director, refers to the grants as "the primer for the pump which makes these projects possible" and cites, as an example of the way in which each dollar generates another, the fact that the Ontario Ministry of Culture and Recreation donated the equipment for the ten exercise stations. The recipient of a $12,000 donation from the Alma Mater Fund, the University of Guelph Choir gave six concerts in

Sweden last year to a chorus of critical acclaim. Swedish newspapers were unanimous in their praise and spoke of "a polished choir with a beautifu l sound ." The 48 singers received spontaneous ova tions wherever they sang. The choir tour, which included four concerts in Germany, would, according to tour co-ordinator Dr. Murdo Mackinnon, not have been possible without the support of the AMF. The $7,000 grant on behalf of the London Semester Bursary Fund was an important factor in the success of the Landscape Architecture Semester and the London Semester Abroad programs.

Student Highlight Students who attended another Fund-subsidised project, the United Kingdom field course under the auspices of the Department of Geography, described it as "the highlight of their time at Guelph." Faculty and students are both benefitting from the instructional development grant of $10,000. The

AMF funds helped provide special Arboretum trails for the handicapped.

program is helping to improve facli'lty instructional effectiveness and student learning capability at the U niversity of Guelph. And so it goes, on and on. Scholarships, Alumni Stadium, athletic donations, visiting professorships, art purchases, music an d drama programs, the Small Animal Clinic extension etc. etc. This is what happened. This is what matters. This is the tangible consequence of all that generosity. Each of the fund raising divisions recorded significant improvements over the previous year. The Campus F und, under the co-chairmanship of Dr. Don Barnum, OvC '41, and Joan Johnston with Professor Margaret Hauser, OAC '46, representing the Century Club together with vice-chairmen and canvassers, achieved a participation rate of 48.9 per cent with a well-above-average gift of $83.45 for the handsome total of $40,754.

Century Club Grow ing The Century Club, under Chairman Dr. Bruce Holliday, OvC '57, and Deputy Chairman Milt Greer, OAC '41, welcomed an increase of 109 members in 1981 bringing the Club total up to 1, 186 with a gift average of $159.84. The aggregate amount attributable to Century Club donors came to $206,674 or 62 per cent of the total. Members of the Century Club who attended Alumni Weekend '81 were invited to an afternoon music recital followed by a reception at the President's house hosted by President Donald F. Forster. Under the chairmansh ip of Jack Gallin, OAC '47, 275 Class Agents encouraged 1,836 gifts for a total of $41,609, an increase of 15.7 per cent over 1980. Five pieces of in-house campaign literature were prepared by the Direct Mail Committee under the chairmanship of John Babcock, OAC '54. The committee was also responsible for the General Appeal and the Final Appeal which, between them, brought in 2,155 donations for a total of $44,676.

Bequests and Endowments Of growing importance in its contribution to University alumni-related funds, bequests and endowments totalled $154,710 in 1981. Included in this total were additional gifts to the Florence Partridge Endowed Fund for art purchases, and bequests from the Louise E. McConkey Estate for Consu mer Studies students, the Dr. Oswald M. McConkey Scholarship Foundation for post-gra d uate study and research in the O A C , the Gwen Karr Memorial Bursaries for the OAC, the

Dr. Samuel Downing Stirk Award for the OVC and the Joan (Ellerington) Tanner Memorial Scholarship for FACS. Despite the fact that the Alma Mater Fund owes its existance to the generosity of its donors, there is little doubt that without the dedicated work of a small army of people who care enough to involve themselves in the campaign, the results would be less impressive. The final 1981 Fund total of $334,963 exceeded the 1980 Fund total by $38,396. It should be noted, however, that all but $162 of this increase arrived during the final month of the campaign- a clear indicator of a fact of life familiar to those who work on these campaigns, that there can be no let-up until the very end.

$370,000 Target for '82 The time for breathing space and self-congratulations is limited . The 1982 Alma Mater Fund Campaign makes its immediate demands on willing, but understandably tired workers . At the end of each year they arrive at the summit of one formidable mountain only to find themselves at the foot of another, even more demanding, peak. Last year they went from $296,000 to $335 ,000 . In 1982 they will be reaching for $370,000- a minimal goal in the face of some of the new projects which have been approved for support. Phase I of the Carriage House restoration to preserve our campus heritage has a goal of $60,000 . Badly needed equipment for the Large Animal Clinic has a price tag of $50,000 and purchase of a diagnostic and therapeutic unit to treat athletic injuries will cost $ I 9,700. The list of worthwhile projects continues to grow. In the meanwhile, the cost of conducting the campaign will also continue to grow given the recent increase in postal rates, paper, printing and long distance phone calls . We can expect some imaginative responses to this problem in the months ahead, all of which will be designed to elicit a response from alumni which is as swift as it is generous. A plan to send out the follow-up Class Agent's mailing directly from the Divisional Chairman could save as much as $3,000 in postage and other costs. But of all the statistics for 198 I, perhaps the most gratifying is the number of alumni who gave for the first time. More and more grads from the 1970s are thinking twice before shrugging off the Fund's campaign mailing pieces . They are coming through with donations which indicate their support and re-affirm a relationship with the University of Guelph which now belongs as much to their future as their past. 0

It s ighs o n w indy nights, and those creaks in the night o n the stairs should never be m istaken for footsteps. Professor D. F. Forster, President.

The Preside nts Slept Here

By John Hern ouses may start off as inanimate objects but, given time enough, they develop a life of their own. They breathe, they sigh when the wind blows, their old bones creak after a long da y in the hot sun and, in the fullness of their years, they hunker down into the soil and start to reminisce. This is certainly true of the University of Guelph President's House which , so it will tell anyone willing to listen, celebrates its 100th birthday this year. It huddles around its own fireplace, with the OAC crest ca rved into the mantlepiece, and reminds you that it dates back to a time when Johannes Brahms was still alive. So were Verdi and Wagner, and so were Robert Browning, Longfellow and Tennyson. Karl Marx still walked the earth, as a Iso did Charles Darwin. Louis Riel had yet to plant his ultimate stake in Canadian history . Sir John A . Macdonald was still Prime Minis ter, and Sitting Bull had just been rejected by the Department of Immigration. It would have taken a lot of imagination in those days to visualize today's teeming campus. The vista was one of farmlands, an agricultural environment which barely tolerated a College yet to prove its usefulness . True, 1882 had been a good year with 97 new registrations, but that was exceptional, and 17 more years were to pass before that number would be equalled.

A Mobile Home The President's House cannot cla im to have been the home of presidents for almost a century of Christmases. For its first 48 years, it was home to professors of agriculture whose names are now enshrined in Canadian agricultural legend. Moreover, in 1912, it suffered the indignity of being totally uprooted and moved to its present location to make way for the building of Creelman Hall. This engineering feat , still admired today , was master-minded by one Reuben Rogers, a colorful Guelph character who moved houses around the City with the casual ease of a Monopoly player. Using only three teams of horses and primitive jacks and winches, he routinely lifted massive stone houses over the Cork Street hill below the Church of Our Lady. But even by the redoubtable Reuben Rogers's standards, the President 's House represented no mean challenge. Some 60 feet long and 45 feet wide, with limestone walls two feet thick, it had to be rai sed and then lowered with loving care onto rails and then eased across College Avenue, horses steaming and capstans creaking. The house at that time was occupied by Professor George Day. It is recorded that his wife, Tessie, was understandably anxious about the big move. Shouldn't they move their furniture out ? Shouldn't she at leas t wrap up their precious china ware ? Reuben Rogers took a long, slow chaw on

his tobacco and allowed as how he guessed not. He was right. Not a dish was cracked and a pendulum clock on the living room wall never missed a beat. Crossing College Avenue meant crossing the streetcar tracks which in those days came up Gordon Street, along College, and down Trent Lane. Legend does not tell how long it took to complete the move, but Reuben Rogers settled the old house down in its present location, gently as a pigeon on a nest. Professor Day's residence in the house was followed by Professor Wade Toole's. He, with his family, occupied the house until his death in 1928.

The Building Years The first of the presidents-of the OAC, that is-to take up official residence was George Irving Christie, OAC '02, and his wife, Ethel. Born in 1881 near Winchester, Ontario, Ore Christie lived for many years in the United States where he served as assistant secretary for agriculture. He wa s at one time considered for the post of secretary of agriculture by President Calvin Coolidge. Dr. Christie assumed the presidency of the OAC in 1928. The first few years of his era were marked by what was considered, at that time, to be a ruthless orgy of building. The new Administration Building (later named Johnston Hall), the dairy barn, and the firs t of the greenhouses

near the Horticultural building all made their appearances during the early Christie years. The leader of the Opposition at Queen's Park, The Honorable Harry C. Nixon, OAC '13, berated the President's extravagance. College on the Hill author, Professor Alex Ross, quotes Harry Nixon: "Dr. Christie, our $8,000 president, is, I believe, Canadian-born. But he spent many years in the United States and I am afraid he became so contaminated with 'Yankee' ideas and methods that when he returned to Ontario, his grandiose schemes were scarcely in accord with the staid and sober policy of this province." Harry Nixon and the Depression effectively put a stop to Dr. Christie's grandiose schemes; his budget was cut by $100,000, and there was no more building during his term of office, which continued until 1948. House is Unique

The President's House, one of the few located on a Canadian campus, has always played a dual role- as home for the president and as a place where important guests are invited at his discretion. Premiers, governors-general, captains of industry and foreign dignitaries have, through the years, enjoyed the hospitality of its hosts and hostesses. Over the years the chatelaines of the President's House have maintained the traditions of old-world elegance. In the early days, the President's House was a place of rare but elegant receptions at which large hats and long, white gloves were "de rigueur." An invitation to the President's House was, and still is, a memorable social occasion. During Dr. Christie's reign, Community House in Johnston Hall was used for official entertaining until the building was occupied by the Commonwealth Wireless School during the war years. Ethel Christie is remembered still as a tall, elegant woman and a gracious hostess.

Christie became ill just after the end of the Second World War. It was Dr. Reek's unique distinction to preside over the most difficult of the post-war years which brought a huge increase in registrations and required the complete rebuilding of a faculty which had been reduced to wartime levels. The Founding of a University

John Douglas Maclachlan succeeded Dr. Reek in 1950. His late wife, Cariena, also continued the traditions of gentle elegance established by her predecessors. To Dr. Maclachlan goes the credit for arresting the remorseless decline in enrolments, which followed the immediate post-war boom, and for developing the integrity and credibility which led to the founding of the University of Guelph May 8, 1964. He handed over a fine, brawling infant to his successor, Dr. WiJliam Winegard, in 1967. The Informal 1970s

With the Winegard years, the President's house entered a new era. At the Winegards' first reception for faculty members, the new president's son, Chariie, greeted guests at the door wearing an orange shirt and blue jeans. The president, in shirt sleeves, assisted behind the bar. Elizabeth Winegard is still happily remembered as a superb hostess who was equally comfortable with the elegance of the past and the informality of the 1970s. The old house, then approaching its 90th birthday, groaned to the beat of rock music and gazed out on scenes of such activities as had no precedent in all its long

decades. Yet, during the same period the Winegards hosted some of the most elegant parties ever held in the house. Their hospitality was fundamental in establishing the University of Guelph as a friendly place. Graciousness Continues

The incumbents have always brought much of their own furniture and taken some of it away with them when they left. President Donald Forster, who assumed the presidency in 1975, however, brought from Toronto his personal collection of restored early pine furniture . A bachelor president, Professor Forster carries on the tradition of gracious entertaining alone. He has opened up the President's House to many alumni and visiting groups to the campus and he especially enjoys welcoming hundreds of new students to campus at his luncheons during orientation week each semester. President Forster says the house has no verifia ble ghosts. It sighs on windy nights, to be sure, and those stairs which creak in the night should never be mistaken for footsteps. He often tells of chipmunks which are claiming squatters' rights, and generations of presidential mice which have come to regard the place as their own. Nature is always ready to take over a building. Storm, wind and acid rain take their inexorable toll. But the President's House is still a fine old house. Even though it guards presidential privacy, it , in some way, belongs to all of us. We wish it a happy centenary and all the best for the next 100 years. 0

In 1912, the President's House was uprooted and moved across College Avenue.

The Post-War Years

Carrie Reek, wife of President William Robert Reek, OAC ' 10, was a tiny woman. likened to a Dresden figurine, she is still remembered for her gentle kindness. She and President Reek were only in residence from 1947 to 1950, but Carrie Reek is remembered for her ability to make the residence the centre of campus hospitality. President Reek had been Ontario's Deputy Minister of Agriculture and had served as acting president when Dr.

Food Fallacies, Fads & Fantasies .

SODle FACS Facts

True or false? Vitamin C presents colds • Grapefruit dissolves fat • Vitamin E enhances the sex drive • Gelatin strengthe ns your fingernails • Garlic reduces high blood pressure. Organic eggs are more nutritious . Obesity is usually hereditary in adults • Proces s ed breakfast cere als contain little food value. Margarine is less fattening than butter. Food additives cause hyperactivity. By Mary Cocivera

utrition facts or fallacies? Sad to say, the common fallacies listed above are but a few of the wide-spread miscon ceptions that affect our decisions about food, nutrition, health and disease. True, many such nutrition miscon ceptions are harmless enough-you won't endanger your health by believing th a t margarine is less fattening than butter or that gelatin strengthens your fingernails. But, if you rely on garlic to lower high blood pressure, accept obesity as unavoidable, or depend on a diet to "cure" a hyperactive child, you may turn your back on professional help when you really need it. Canadians are more concerned than ever about their health and personal well-being. They pursue fitness, fight obesity and avidly read abo ut nutrition and health in magazines and newspapers. In their zeal, they buy natural foods and vitamin supplements, question the wisdom of food additives and buy millions of books on diet, "cures," and cooking for good hea lth. While some good information is available, there are a lso exaggerated promi ses, blatant pitches to buy "health" products, a nd undocumented reports of cures and results. Qualified nutritionis ts like those on the faculty in the University's Department of Family Studies are concerned that the sensational nutrition hype is overshadowing sensible, well-documented information. Promises for instant'results and miracle cures appeal to many Canadians looking for relief from allergies, cancer, arthritis, or their child's hyperkinesis. The exaggerated claims are persuasive because the victims of these diseases are at the point of last resort; they'll try anything in the hope of finding a cure.

Many of the common nutrition misconceptions will do little more th a n cost you money. "Natural" or "organic" foods from healt h-food stores are usually more expensive than their supermarket counterparts. Even "h a rmless" nutrition misconceptions, however, get in the way of wise decisions abou t your personal health. Professor Jean Sabry and former graduate student Ellen McCarth y, M.Sc. '72, in a survey of University of Guelph studen ts, found widespread nutrition misconceptions like those itemized earlier. They feel nutrition a nd health educators should be aware of the misconceptions which have to be unlearned or corrected before actual learning about nutrition can take place . frequently, well-educated people, even those in the health professions, perpetrate some of the fallacies abou t food and nutrition. Because they know enough to appreciate th e importance of eating well, they tend to give food more value th an it dese rves. Food is intrinsically neither good nor bad; it's what we do with it that gives it good or bad qualities. "Guidelines for good nutrition are simple, sensible and undram atic," Dr. Sabry emphasizes. "Ea t a variety of foods, as recommended in Canada's food Guide and tak e fat, sugar, sa lt and alcohol in moderation. It is so simple that people cannot believe it works." According to the Nutrition Canada survey completed in 1972, with the possible exception of iron, the vast majority of Canadians d o not need vitamin and mineral supplements. Nutritional guidelines for Canadians are s pelled out in the Dietary Standard for Canada, first published in 1950 a nd updated most recently in 1975. The Standard defines the amounts of energy

and essential nutrients considered adequate to meet the daily needs of healthy persons in the population. The recommended daily in take of speciric nutrients is carefully documented by rigorou s scientific tests and is reviewed periodically by a committee or leading Canadian nutritionists. Canada's Food Guide, the application of the Dietary Standard, descr ibes four food groups and presents guidelines for eating the foods from each of those groups.

A Food Fad: Mineral Therapy

The essential roles of minerals suc h as iron, iodine, phosphorous and calcium in the diet have been documented for some time. Research scientists have now identified other minerals , including zinc, selenium, copper, manganese and chromium, which are present in minute conce ntrations a nd play essential roles in hum an nutrition. Although scientists hav e yet to elucidate the exact function or the required levels or some of these "micronutrients," exaggerated claims about their powers abound. Trace-mineral supplements are said to prevent baldness, cure acne, strengthen weak muscles and give a person more energy. The subject of micronutrients is an active research field because increasingly sensitive analytical instru ments are able to detec t minute quantities of these minerals in the human b o d y . Professor Rosalind Gibson, Depa rtment of family Studies, is alarmed that trace-mineral supplements are available over-the-counter. "Researc h on the micronutrients is still in the very early stages. We don't yet know enough about their precise functions and interrel a tions hips to be able to apply that knowledge ther apeu tically." Micronutrients are present in the

human body not only in very small concentrations, but in a delicate balance as well. An excess of one mineral can sometimes trigger an imbalance of another; excessive zink intakes , for instance, can lead to a deficiency in copper. For some minerals (selenium for example), a toxic level is not much higher than a safe level. "[n my opinion," says Dr. Gibson, "trace-mineral supplements are not only unnecessary for people with well balanced diets but could actually be harmful." The growing interest in trace-minerals has led to the development of new methods of assessing trace-element status, the most publicized of which is hair analysis. Dr. Gibson warns that hair analysis is meaningless unless the hair is carefully sampled and cleaned and rigorous analytical techniques are used. If the hair sample is not cut right next to the scalp, the rcsults reflect nutritional history rather than current status. [n addition, levels of micronutrients in hair vary greatly from one individual to another and acceptable or "normal" levels are not yet well defined.

The Disappearing Fat Fantas y The most enduring food fantasy is that a crash diet will transform a dimpled blimp into a svelte siren instantly, cffortlessly and permanently. Women's magazines maddeningly sandwich the latest "foolproof' diet between calorific recipes and skinny fashions. The implication is that you can melt away excess fat by spending just a week or two on a special diet, then return to your old indulgence and still maintain a slim figure. "Most of these crash diets fail," remarks Professor Elizabeth Miles, Department of Family Studies, "because they do not address the fundamental problem that the overweight person eats too much, doesn't exercise enough - or both." Some diets are so monotonous that they defy even the most determined dieter to stick with them. Some overemphasize one particular food like grapefruit while others eliminate carbohydrates or entire ca tegories of foods.

" Low-carbohydrate diets do result in rapid weight loss," comments Dr. Miles, "because thcy reduce the amount of fluid in your body. But as soon as you quit the diet, the fluid returns and your weight loss is not nearly as impressive as it appeared initially. " In addition, the low-carbohy drate diets change your metabolism and, if strictly followed, produce symptoms similar to those of an uncontrolled diabetic. "The only sensible approach to losing weight and keeping it off is to adjust your eating patterns," Dr. Miles sa ys. "Cut down on your intake of calories, but still maintain a balanced intake of nutrients. Eliminate non-essentials like cream, sugar, jam and rich desserts. If total energy intake is lower than energy expenditure, you will lose weight. It is as straight forward as that. "There is nothing new, dramatic, sensational, or easy, about losing weight. It is a slow, sometimes discouraging process, but if you consider how long it took you to accumulate the excess, it doesn't make sense to think you can shed it overnight."

HOWTO

Separate Facts From Fallacies

The public is showered with nutritional information. Some of it is accurate, but much is ill-founded and some is downright wrong. To help you separate the facts from the fallacies, Professor Donna Woo\cott, '69, Department of Family Studies, provides the following basic guidelines for assessing the reliability of the information.

• Beware of "experts" who denigrate or dismiss res pected research and esta blished agencies. Reputable nutritionists will refer to several authorities to document their statements. • Suspect "experts" who appeal to your emotions. Promoters of "natural" foods dwell on the harmful effects of food additives, colorings, fertilizers and preservatives. Reputable nutritionists, in contrast, use a straightforward, factual approach and present scientific evidence in the proper context. • Be wary of advice to diagnose your own health conditions. You should consult a doctor about any medical problem; its treatment may demand more than a diet change or doses of vitamins and minerals. Food is neither the sole cause nor the sole cure for most medical problems.

• Be skeptical about glowing claims that a certain food, brand-name product or nutrient will cure such conditions as cancer, diabetes, arthritis, homosexuality, fatigue or allergy. There is no scientific evidence to support claims that food, vitamins or minerals cure or prevent these conditions. • Look for rigorous scientific evidence to back up dietary claims. H ear-say accounts or case studies make interesting reading, but the results of one individual, observed in an uncontrolled environment, do not provide scientific proof. Nutritional theories are corroborated or refuted in carefully controlled double-blind experiments in which neither the recipient nor thc administrator of the treatment knows whether the treatment given at any one time is the real thing or a placebo. Double-blind experiments such as this demonstrated that vitamin C does not cure colds, but does shorten their duration . Similarly, double-blind experiments have failed to corroborate Feingold's thesis that diminating food colorings, additives and some food items effectively treats hyperkinesis. • Compare any nutritional claims or diets with the Dietary Standard for Canada. There is no scientific evidence to suggest

that normally-healthy Canadians need nutrient intakes in excess of those outlined in the Dietary Standard and reflected in Canada's Food G uide. High doses of vitamins and minerals are of dubious value, expensive, and in some cases, toxic . • Avoid diets or theories that recommend the elimination of whole food groups. Any weight-reduction diet should include the four food groups described in Canada's Food G uide. • Look for inconsistencies. Many popular nutrition books, for instance, push "natural" foods on the premise that processed foods are devoid of nutrients and polluted with additives. Some of these same books, however, prescribe mega doses of vitamins and minerals.

Nutritionists increasingly work on health care teams with doctors, nurses, ph ysiothera pis ts and psychia tris ts. Nutrition counselling is now covered under the Ontario Hospital Insurance Plan (OHIP) if it is prescribed by a physician, and community nutritionists in district health units can answer questions and provide individuals and groups with accurate, reliable, up-to-date nutrition information . 0

Telling Tales

By Andrea Mudry Fawcett pinn ing tales is a lmost a n old as ma nkind, but over the centuries this delightful pastime has declined. Ask most peo ple and they will give you the impression that stori es some how come pre-packaged on television, in films or in books. This is a great loss, especially for children, insists Bob Munsch , a teacher at the University's Family Studies Lab Pre-School, and a n author . "Youngsters see the im agination at work when you tell them a story; this e ncour a ges them to use their own crea tivity," the soft-spoken lecturer notes. "And it's fun. Th a t's the most important a spect. Parents a nd children are drawn closer together because th ey sha re a unique, priva te world." Bo b, who comes from a fa mily of nine c hildren, recalls tha t his fa ther told stories. He can't remember a nything "except that they were good." In sheer desperation, Bob took to the tale-telling tr a il himself one day to settle down a group of pre-schoolers. He . has never looked back. His sage mentor was Jeffrey, a four -year- old . "The kid s would just naturally gra vitate around J effrey, a nd he stood there telling stories off the top of his head. They were captiva ted. By a dult sta ndards th e stories were lou sy, with no plot and a lot of repetition, but," reca lls the beardcd Munsch with a broad smile, "Jeffrey was superb at using gestures and sound effects. He got the kid s to participate too. If he was imitating the sound of a squeak y door opening in a ghost story, he had them repeat the sound. Jeffrey would imitate walking sound s by

slapping his hands on his legs slowly and rhythmically, then increase the tcmpo for the sound of running." Bob has been unabashedly slapping his thighs, cl a pping his hands and contorting his face to express evcrything from rage to joy ever since. Like Jeffrey, he creates stor ies on the spot, uses a lot of repetition, and urges the youngsters to ta ke pa rt. Whether he is enterta ining a group, or his own children, Andrew , 18 months, a nd Julie, 6, he distains stmc路t ured plot development. The day that I visited the pre-school, Bob enthralled a group of avid little listeners with a story about Eliza beth. Angry beca use she was forced to ta ke a bath, Elizabeth pulls mother into the tub with her. Then the furious mum completes the trio by forcing an unwitting d a d to join them. Throughout, Bob sna rled with anger a nd la ughed in glee while his audience reacted with oohs, aahs, grrs and giggles. The scene was so dynamic, I was torn between watc hing his performance, and the little ones' reactions.

Small People Win "If the stories are meaningful for the kids, then they ha ve fun. Children havc no trouble identifying with Eliza beth because many ha te taking a bath. Since they spend a lot of time looking at kneecaps, they are very pleased to sce a sma 11 person triumphing over big people. As a simple formul a for discovering what is me a ningful to a child, Bob suggests that parent s say to themselves: "It drives me cra zy when .. . you hit your brother; won't go to bed; refuse to eat your dinner; can ' t tie your shoe laces." He stresses that scarey subjects, such a s tigers and ogres, should be set in a "far ofr' place, a forest or castle, and not under the child's bed, where fear is brought too close to home. Bob became the Schehera zade of the pre-school set vi a a strange route. A native of Pittsburgh, Pennsyvania , he joined a Jesuit seminary for si x years. "Studying p hilosophy drov e me c ra zy, so I opted to d o 颅 ' good works' by helping out in an orphanage." When he eventually left the order, he worked in a d a y-care centre. Not without qualms , though. " For a long time I cons idered it a hobby , because it wasn't something a man does for a l,iving, you know . But it was what I enjoyed ." After gaining a graduate degree in Child Studies and more experience, he arri ved in Guelph

in 1975 with his wife, Anne, who is also a Child Studies specialist. As head teacher at the pre-school lab, which provides students with practical working experience, Bob organizes programs, instructs and, of course, spins tales.

Bob Also Writes Needless to say it is ironic that this champion of oral storytelling is also well on his way to becoming an established children's writer. Four books have been published and Bob is in great dem a nd to perform a t schools, libra ries and bookstores. This Fall he toured the Yukon territories. "Overall," a reviewer noted, "Munsch 's books are super stories for small children, and will become standards in the repertories of quality Canadian books ." This Spring The Boy in th e Drawer will be published . The author views his publishing ventures with a fine sense of humour. Originally his fourth book, The Paper Bag Princess. ended with the princess punching her prince non-charming in the nose . She had fought valiantly to rescue him from a dragon, only to have the freed prince complain that she was dirty and wearing a paper bag . " 'Change it!' my publisher roared , 'or the reviewers will charge the book with being too violent, showing anti-social behaviour, then no one wi.1I buy .' So I changed it, and had her call him a 'bum' instead. Then Scholastic Press, which sells books through schools in Australia, England, New Zealand, and Canada, bought the rights to reprint the book. They wanted to change 'bum' to 'toad'. Scholastic has clout to sell, sell a lot, so I let them," he admits with mock resignation. "So much for my artistic integrity . Some authors would die before allowing a word to be changed."

Oral Stories Can Change His books a re mainly business , Bob explains. "I'm much less attached to mine than are most authors because once the stories are published they become static. Every time I tell a story, however, I have the freedom to make changes. I played around with The Paper Bag Princess for years before setting it down ." He rel a tes, with obvious pleasure, how his oral stories have travelled throughout the country. "One recently came back to me with some interesting variations all the way from Manitoba." Cleanliness, fear, and the simple emotional concerns of preschoolers are the subjects of Bob's books. Unlike most written stories, he emphasizes, they are meant to be read aloud. In The Mud

Puddle. his first, which was published in 1979, an indefatigable Jule Ann is sent out to play in new, clean clothes:

Unfortunately there was a mud puddle hiding up in th e apple tree. [t saw Jule Ann and jumped right on her head. She got completely all over muddy. "When I first wrote the story down, I said something like ' lule Ann got muddy all over.' But then I listened to a tape of myself telling the story and changed it to bring my writing into line with my storytelling." While he has a vested interest in encouraging parents to read to their children, Bob still prefers storytelling. There is no book to block eye contact , he points out, nothing between teller and li sten er but the bond of the story. Hands are free to make gestures, and the body to act out the tale. "No book can start with 'This is a special story just for you. Nobody in the whole world ever heard it before.' "

4 . Characters come next. Let your imagination fly. While themes should be familiar, characters can be wildly improbable. For example, a story about crossing the street can have children, dinosa urs, ants, rocks or elm trees for characters. If the children ca n identify with a theme, they will accept any character. You can tell dozens of stories on one theme, big versus small, for ex.ample. Then move on. Your stories may not be as good as published material, but that's not the point. Because you're a n important person to them, and can tell stories relating to their particular joys and problems better than any published text, your children will be delighted. 0

Storytelling Tips I. To get yourself started, throwaway the books, but not your memory of them. Tell stories that you already know, like Litlle Red Riding Hood. Don't worry about not having pictures to interest the children. Their absence can have a liberating effect, and make the whole process much more e njoyable . 2. In the next stage, take the same stories, and add gestures and sound effects. Sound effects, like the stories themselves, can be make-believe. Include the sound of a n ant eating an ice cream cone or a ghost taking a bath; th ey'll be fa sci nated. Improvise' And encourage the children to participate. 3. The next step is to figure out a plot of your own. The safest themes relate to children's every day experiences, for example: big versus small; competency, or "I can do it mysetr'; having to go to bed; getting lost; crossing the street; having to eat dinner, etc. etc. etc.

Paul Angle. '09.

Large-Scale Farm Management in 1914

Tod a y, Aggies are well-versed in agri business affairs and the challenges and rewards of operating large-scale farm operations, with or without the aid of 1ST-Canfarm Inc. and computer print outs. Yet there is a retired OAC gradu ate still quite hale and hearty who was a pioneer in the field of farm management practices long before today's grads-yes, even before the fa thers of some of today's grads-were born. Paul Angle, Class of 1909, at the age of 97, recalls the stirring days before the First World War when he went out on two chal lenges as a keen young graduate. Right after graduation, Paul was posted to Norfolk County as the agricul tural representative, with the Ontario Department of Agriculture, to carry out a multitude of duties· when trial and error was the order of the day. "The position of agricultural repre senta tive was not an easy one in those days. In the first place, there was active and latent opposition from a good num ber of the established farmers who felt that spending tax money to hire some young stripling fresh out of college to go out and around the county telling old, experienced farmers how to run their

places was a pure waste of their time and their money," he recalls.

A Political Football The new government employee was also somewhat of a political football, fair game for anyone wanting to get at the County or School Board currently holdfng office. The most fruitful area of work, it was quickly discovered, was in that area which was related to farm youth or farm wives. School fairs, calf projects and, especially, poultry courses, seemed to be the easiest way into the confidences of the farm community and these involved the youth and farm women to a large degree. Norfolk County had a great variety of farms in those days. There was some very fine farms and some very prosper ous farmers and yet the County had large areas of very poor land and pock ets of poverty. In some of the sandy areas, tree-planting schemes had already started. Tobacco had not yet been intro duced as a cash crop . Paul Angle decided to start a short course at the local high school in Simcoe during the winter of 1909-1910. Right in the middle of the plans, his new assistant

decided to leave for a better job in N ew Brunswick. Paul had nothing ready , he recalls, but decided to go on with the course single handed. It began on Janu ary 9, 1910 and ran from 10:00 a.m. until noon and from 1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. every school day until February 24. The subjects covered included farm crop seeds, elements of farm chemistry and bacteriology, soil cultivation and drainage, orchard planting, pruning, grafting, fruit thinning and fruit pack ing, spray materials and spraying, in sects and diseases, weeds and weed seeds, feeds and feeding of livestock, principles of stock breeding and stock judging, poultry care and management including the main breeds, and farm bookkeeping. Quite a range of topics to cover for a young lad in his first winter out of Guelph! "But the course was received with enthusiasm," he remembers, and he started to plan a similar course for the following Winter. By Spring, he had an assistant to help him; the late Wade Toole, 'II, t hen in his second year at the OAC, joined Paul for the Summer. They spent the Summer doing extensive soil surveys for drainage projects, plotting tile drain maps and even helping to

supervise the laying of the tiles. This was done for farmers who asked for the se rvice: all the farmer had to pay was the board of either or both of them while they were at the farm.

Career Change Development As it happened, while doing these summer jobs, which also included insect problems, milk testing, weed control, etc., something was developing which would change the whole course of Paul's s u bseq uen t ca reer. One of the first attempts at large scale business-oriented farm operations in Ontario was being considered. It has an interesting idea behind it. A trust company, the Union Trust Co. , of Toronto, had decided to finance a project to buy up, re-develop and pre pare a large block of land in the best part or the County for ruture sale to immigrants from .Great Britain, mainly from England, who were coming over by the .thousands to make a new start "in the Colonies." The trust company's real estate manager came to Paul for some help in locating such an acreage-a 500 or 600-acre block. A block of land was selected just east or the town or Simcoe, south or what is now Highway 3. With the choice made, Paul went back to his regular agricultural representative duties and forgot about the new project. Some months later, in the early Winter of 191 I, the real estate manager carne back to see him. The block or land had been bought; the project was ready to go. Did Paul want the job or running it ') "This was something I had never dreamed of, but it orfered an opportu nity to put into practice several ideas I had developed about rarm management; it was very appealing. My boss, Deputy Minister c.c. James, was very kind; he told me to do what I thought was best for myselr and orfered his best wishes." On february 20, 191 I, Paul re signed as district agricultural represent ative and took on the unique challenge or turning a group of old established ramily farms into something quite dir ferent. First carne the cha nging or old fence patterns, the removal of unwanted buildings, and a surveyor the block to establish smaller farms of 50 acres which would specialize in horticultural crops. By the end of 1912, 30,000 (ruit trees had been planted. Another 600

acres or land had been bought some seven miles north to extend the project which appeared to have been well launched. "One thing about the development was the character or the man in charge, George Cottrelle, or the trust company. Money was not spared; when a move was thought worth while, the money to do it was rorthcoming. The project was incorporated under the name Ontario Fruit Lands Limited, and operated under the name of Lynndale Farms. "We used the most modern equip ment and had a stable of 32 of the best light-draft horses obtainable. They were a II housed in one place and under the care or men appointed for that job," he recalls.

Show-place Created By 1914, Lynndale Farms was a show-place; a block or 600 acres without a rence and free of weeds. An orchard, or about 325 acres provided mainly apples, but also plums, pears, peaches and cherries. The rows between the growing trees were intercropped with canning vegetables for the ractory in town. The company also grew a little tobacco. There were 260 acres in rield crops . But in the late summer or 1914, something happened to alter all the fine plans; the properties were ready for market but the first World War ended all hopes that eager British immigrants would be corning over to buy. The company carried on until 1916 but, by then, wartime conditions made things very dirricult and the future or the whole idea very uncertain. Paul lert to manage a similar, but even larger, project in Calirornia operated by the same supervi sor. During this brier period, 191 1 1916, much new ground was broken in the rield or Ontario rarm management practices. "In fact, before Lynndale, there was practically no background of inrormation on how to manage or how to cost-account large scale farming opera tions in Ontario," says Paul. Other than a very few operations, like Bow Park Farms near Brantford, there were no big farms in Ontario. It was small-family rarm country right rrom pioneer days. The manager of the larger units had to work out the costs for a team of horses doing a wide range of jobs, in cluding cultivating in the orchard and hauling grain. How much cash should

one allow for the fuJI-time stable hands who readied th e horses for work and looked after them at night') Was it better to work a team hard for hair a day, replacing it with a rresh team at noon , or to use all rour horses all day at a slower pace') "That was an interesting study, for we round that we got more work and did no damage to the horseOesh power-su p ply if we did hair a day or heavy work rather than a full day or easier work. Other ideas had to be worked out such as using heavier equipment like double sets of discs in the orchards, which normally ha d to have three or rour horses abreast to pull them. We adapted the old coachman's hitch or two teams in tandem to get the machinery between the trees."

Another Kind of Weed Another problem tackled involved the control or smoking. There had been some local barn-fire losses but Paul was able to work out a scheme which al lowed rarm hands to use a special "smoking parlour" on the farm as long as there was no smoking when they went into the fields or barns to work. Management was made a little more challenging by the fact that a large proportion of the work-force was made up of farmers or rarm ramilies from whom the land had been purchased. It took tactful handling to teach a new system to those who had been doing it differently all their lives on the farms they had previously operated on their own. A positive help in such situations was the ract that he, as the local manag er on the site, was given a rree hand on how things were to be done, recalls Paul. He was able to corne up with such interesting ideas that he was asked to return to the OAC and present a paper on farm management. " It was a very interesting challenge and, today, I can look back with some satisraction that we were able to devise userul solutions; a good 60 years berore the need for management methods in today's bigger operations," he says. So when present-day graduates are working through their problems with compu ters , da ta sheets, and a host or other instant aids they should remember this 97-year-old grad, still very much alive and keen, who was way ahead of his time and managing a brand new 600 acre "spread" in southern Ontario. 0

'Eastern Rural COlJlmunities

By Donald Blackburn and Fredric Dahms Dr. Donald J. Blackburn is a professor and head of extension education in the OAC's School of Agricultural Econom ics and Extension Education. Dr. Fredric A. Dahms is a professor with the De partment of Geography, College of So cial Science.

In eastern Canada, the term "rural community" has a new ring these days. Rapidly changing trends in agriculture, population distribution and technology have altered its social composition and physical appearance. On one hand, even in the fertile heartland of southern Ontario, aban doned stores renect economic decline in once-prosperous rural communities . On the other, many villages and hamlets have recently increased in population as "counterurbanization" has taken place. An apparent contradiction exists. Despite projections in the '60s of 90 per cent urbanization by the year 2000, we have recently witnessed a selective mI gration back to the country but not back to the farm. The process of rural to urban mi gration has had substantial effects on rural communities. It is a very selective process based on age, sex and ot her factors. The majorilY of those leaving farms are young people in their late teens and 20s, with females often mov ing directly to urban areas somewhat ahead of males. By their late 20s, the proportion of males who leave for urban areas has nearly caught up. As a result, the farm labour force is aging and many rural communities have become retirement

centres for the increasing number of elderly wishing to remain near their rural roots. This intensifies the demand for social services in our declining rural communities. In many areas, up to 150 ki lometres from major cities, once-dying villages have been rejuvenated by an innux of new residents. These frequent ly unplanned fringe communities have sprung up, or developed, in rural areas around employment centres. Many refer to this fringe as the modern frontier because of its rapid growth and popula tion increase. Some demographic characteristics are similar in all fringe communities. People come to the fringe as family units - single people are not attracted. The majority are young, not yet mid dleaged, and have children. Most ac· quire a piece of land, build a dwelling and become property owners. They are newcomers to established communities, and many depend on jobs in the city for a livelihood. Others are part-time farm ers who also hold an urban job. A major attraction is the availability of housing at prices below those in urban areas.

Social Differences Characteristically, there are great social differences among residents of fringe communities, with heterogeneity in wealth, occupation, social position, ethnic origin and religious background. They differ in many ways from the original farm residents of these areas. As in declining villages, many of the problems in fringe communities revolve around the provision of public services such as schools, churches, health, water,

clean air, law and order, fire protection, electricity , transportation and com munication as well as around inadequa cies in professional and commercial ser vices. Frequently, the fringe does not pro vide the human satisfaction in neigh bourhood and community relations gen erally found in truly urban or rural communities . In many cases, no wel coming hand is extended to newcomers by established groups in the community who may look upon the presence of newcomers as impinging on the very things the established groups formerly enjoyed. Programs of public or private agen cies which affect the lives of people in these communities must recognize these facts in order to be successful. New comers don't have the longtime, natural associations which grow up among peo ple living near to one another which tend to weld them together. Similarity and diversity are hall marks of communities in all our rural areas. They range from the commuter hamlet in the Ontario metropolitan fringe to the fishing and subsistence agricultural outport of Newfoundland; from the Quebec mining town to the Prince Edward Island rural service cen tre. Yet, common trends may be found. The "small-is-beautiful" attitude has recently attracted new residents, espe cially to settlements near major employ ment or scenic amenities . Industry, wholesaling, personal ser vice and financial activities have often replaced the traditional service and retail functions of rural settlements. Others have capitalized upon local

unique historic sites or scenic attrac tions to draw tourists and their dollars. Some rural communities have been stimulated by main street revitalization , by heritage conservation, by a few very profita ble businesses, and sometimes by a branch plant or wholesaling depot. The realization that they offer an at tractive quality of life plus low housing costs is responsible for much population growth. We must remember that purely residentia:\ communities are viable for those who choose to live there. Residential Accommodation I n Newfoundland, outports are being promoted as quaint and quiet vacation destinations; in Ontario, places like Elora and Niagara-on-the-Lake provide specialty retailing in a historic atmosphere. A number of Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia settlements specialize in local arts and crafts. All small towns offer one commonly over looked advantage- the availability of residential accommodation, often at prices far below those in larger p,laces. Recent rcsearch indicates that the rate of new residential building in small towns and villages far outstrips their population growth. The attraction of a quiet residential environment, not far from a work place or near a scenic amenity, is becoming more and more appealing to ex-urbanites. Clearly, the optimistic picture painted above does not apply to all rural communities. Numerous Newfoundland outports have been reduced to ghost towns by resettlement programs. Log ging or mining communities have de c1incd dramatically as the resource base has been depleted. One-industry towns have lost all their employment as the loca l factory has closed. Rural service centres have lost most of their business as farms have enlarged, and improved transportation has made larger centres more attractive for shopping or busi ness. Settlements by-passed by highways have lost much of their restaurant and service station revenue rather abruptly. On the other hand, some have become once again attractive to local shoppers as through traffic has been removed from their main street. Centres in re mote or by-passed areas will continue to decline economically, to lose population and to lose business. For some, little can be done to arrest this process.

The "Top-Down" Attitude The move to regional government, consolidation of schools, and centraliza tion of shopping and services has had varying effects on rural communities in eastern Canada. On one hand, district schools provide modern facilities and regional government equalizes the tax base. On the other, decisions are taken out of the hands of local people who often resent the "top-down" attitude of regional administrators, planners and school officials. Reduced local rail or bus services leave those without cars stranded in rural communities, just as the elderly and infirm find it difficult to function without internal public trans port. In the past, resource-based rural, communities offered many advantages for their inhabitants: some cash revenue from fishing or logging, food from sub sistance agriculture or large gardens, unemployment insurance benefits in the off-season, low heating costs if wood is used as a fuel, and relatively inexpen sive do-it-yourself residential mainte nance and construction. Government planners who dis couraged such lifestyles through their programs are often having second thoughts. Some now favor local incen tives for small-scale enterprises rather than always opting for centralization in growth nodes. The residential functions and potential for a few specialty activi ties-popular pub, boutique, antique shop, excellent restaurant, custom woodworking, good hotel, community centre and so on in small places are now being recognized and exploited. Clearly, there is no one problem in all our rural communities, just as there is no one pat solution to these problems. In the final analysis, diversity has always been a hallm a rk of rural com munities in eastern Canada. Some have changed little in a century and a half, while others have grown, prospered or declined. A viable community means economic opportunity, while for another it may mean a quiet place in which to live or retire. Some may prefer social interaction and others isolation. Gener ally, most would like reasonable access to medical and social services, shopping and employment. Obviously, no single policy or defi nition of viable will satisfy everyone. People are different, places are different

and aspirations vary. Providing choice and variety in the size and environment of rural communities is just as impor tant as economic growth. It is neither appropriate nor desirable to attempt to turn all small settlements into tourist traps or industrial towns. Some will remain as residential dormitories, others as one-enterprise towns and others as the site of the best local hotel. This is a far better approach than attempting to create relatively homoge neous rural settlements. Our rich heri tage of small towns having diverse cha racteristics must be preserved to ensure that widely differing individual tastes may continue to be satisfied in the future . Most Important-The People Finally, we must recognize that the people in our rural communities are the most important consideration. If care fully managed, the integration of rural non-farm residents into farming com munities can add support to declining organizations and institutions. It is also apparent that this accommodation of interest is not automatic; people have to work at fostering rapport and accep tance. Central planners must not a t tempt to innict their "top-down" solu tions on all rural communities. Planning and policies must origi nate with the local people, renect their best interests and views, and then work upward to become part of regional, provincial or federal policies. Neither diversity nor viability will be en couraged by sweeping programs de scending from above. Let us enable those who are really affected to have a major hand in creat ing the policies and programs that will ultimately shape their future and that of their rural community environment. More than change itself, it is the rate of change buffeting our society today which is causing political unrest, economic uncertainty, individual stress, anxiety and frustration. The social, technical, and economic reorganization which we have witnessed has been so profound in the past quar ter-century that many people in both rural and urban communities feel pow erless to affect their own destinies. Nevertheless, the trend s of change can be harnessed and directed to create new and improved environments in all our rural communities. 0

The deft draftsman ship of Robin Baird Lewis, ' 73, a pro fessional artist, currently on staff as Development/Communications Officer with the Department of Alumni Affairs and Development, and the person who was responsible for creating the month ly and cover illustrations for this year's Datelines issue . In the midst of the Datelines as signment last Fall, a fellow Arts grad, Christine Hurlbut, '74, suggested to our executive that the original drawings be used in a low-cost fund-raising project for the benefit of the College of Arts Alumni Association. The original idea crystallized into the Landmarks Series, one of the happiest combinations of talent and initiative our Association has seen for some time. For $19 .95 plus tax, or $21.35 (add $1.00 if delivery requested) , you can own a packaged set of four 81/2" by II" black and white prints selected from the Datelines '82 months of January, April, May and August. The original pencil drawings of the Bull Ring, Raithby House, the front entrance to Johnston Hal!, and the Scotch Pines have been reproduced on quality Du lcet poster stock. Due to budget restrictions, the run has been limited to 500, but this offer is certainly unlimited in appeal. Anyone who has visited the campus, alumnus or not, will enjoy the quality in the sensi-

ALUMNI BULLETIN

Editor: Dr. Cliff Barker, '41.

Awards Committee Seeks Donors Dr. William H. Harris, '68, chairman of the OVC Awards Committee, has asked for assistance for students in need of bursaries. His letter reports on the need in part as follows: "During the Fall semester, 1981, 33 requests for bursary assistance were received from OVC students. Two of these applications were from students with financial emergencies and, after review , bursaries were awarded. The remaining applicants were reviewed after December I, and 13 were judged to be in severe financial need . An addi tional six students may need bursaries if their student loan appeals fail. Worth $6,400, 15 'bursaries were awarded. "The 'bursaries awarded were for

either $400 or $500, but the average requested was $1,350. It has been the policy to provide partial assista nce to as many students in severe need as possi ble, rather than to fully fund a few. "The unsuccessful applicants all received letters suggesting alternatives, and were asked to re-apply if their financial situation became worse . In many cases these unsuccessful appli cants had an 'unrealistic' budget ; in cluded parent loans as part of their expenses, or appeared to save virtually nothing from highly-paying summer jobs. "The committee believes that stu dents who wish above-average life-styles should finance them themselves, and that bursaries should be reserved for students who are sincerely trying to balance their budgets but cannot make it. "Over the last several years, there has been an increase in the number of students requesting and receiving bur saries. There are probably many reasons for this increase: some out-of-province students generally receive less support from their home province than do On

tario students; many Ontario students have been in university long enough that they have reached the maximal loan that they a re eligible to receive, and the Canadian Veterinary Students Association loan fund has been discon tinued. "This year we were able to provide bursaries to those judged to be in severe financial difficulty, and we still have funds if additional cases arise. However, this reserve was made possible due to a windfall of $3,000 this year that will not be available next year. "As tuition and expenses rise, and highly-paying jobs decrease, we antici pa te a significant increase in the num ber of students needing bursary assist ance over the next few years. Tradition ally, veterinary students ha ve accepted poorly-paying summer jobs with veteri narians to gain experience, but it may soon no longer be financially feasible for the students to do this." Further information on the needs of the Awards Committee may be ob tained by contacting Dr. Harris, at the Department of Biomedical Sciences, OVC.O

his (the counsellor's) time. "I did my first year out of duty," Mike said, but he discovered that he wa s interested in Sociology and s tuck with it. He al so enjoyed the university life-style. " It' s sheltered; your day is planned, and you have an enjoyable life-style."

By Nancy Mott It is well-known that graduates of the College of Social Science have found carcers in a variety of fields. Just a little curious, your CSS Alumni Association decided to compare how two alumni, who had studied under the same depart mcnt, had put their degrees to work after leaving the University: We were fortunate to find two such people, Soci ology graduates, who were still living in Guelph. 1 recently spoke to Michael Coons, '77, and his wife, Myra (MacK ic) Coons, '77, in their Harrison Avenue home. Mike and Myra met in an Econom ic Anthropology class and were married aft e r graduation. They came to Guelph from very different home towns, how ever, and for different reasons. Myra is from the small town of Nakina in northwestern Ontario. "My parents encouraged me to go to univer sity," she said. This was a somewhat ra dical move for a young woman from Nakina. "In my time, most of the girls were ma rried at 17 and tha t was their life," she explained. She chose Guelph for her university education because it was a fairly small, clean city. Even so, she found the pace a lot faster in Guelph and was glad to have a room mate who was also from the North. Mike is from Hamilton, and had moved to Guelph with his family. He was not really keen on going to universi ty , and when he told a school guidance counsellor this he was told not to waste

mates under maximum security. These are largely people who have been re fused bail , are serving short sentences, or are awaiting sentence. Problem in mates from other institutions in Onta rio a re a Iso sen t there. Mik e had not thought about a career in corrections when he s tarted work at the Guelph Jail, firstly for a summer job and then part-time while he attended university. When he graduated th e re were no other jobs forthcoming so he appl ied for full-time work at the j a il Even then the superintendent wa s reluc

Myra agreed, stating that she also liked the university atmosphere. She credited one of her professors, however , with generating her interest in Sociolo gy. She was taking Fine Art courses but Professor Sam Sidlofsky "really made sociology seem interesting" so she de cided to focu s on that. Neither Mike nor Myra expected that a degree would guarantee a job, and their professors did not offer much career advice, but when they started university the economy was better , the "baby boomers" had not filled the la bour market and jobs were available for the asking. Myra believes in "education for education's sake" and chose university over community college for that reason. Mike found that his university educa tion gave him a bank of knowledge to draw on and helped him "to develop a critical way of thinking" that has prov en valuable. Mike is a shift supervisor at the Wellington Detention Centre which re placed the Guelph Jail in December of 1979. The new facility houses 125 in

tant to hire him. "He felt that 1 was overqualified and that I wouldn't stay with the job," Mike explained . Myra had a similar problem when she began her job search. She had applied for Ontario Tea cher's College on the McMaster University campus, but there were 1,500 applications for 200 positions that year and, even t hough she had a high average, she was not accepted. She tried several jobs, including selling fire alarms and work ing in film distribution where she "worked hersel I' ou t of a job" because she was too efficien t. Myra also tried personnel agencies. the Ontario Career Assistance Program (where she had a "gopher" job in the Land Registry Office) and even Man power's Non-Traditional Occupations for Women. "They told me 1 was over

conld. over

educated to be a welder," she said. It was a frustrating time for Myra just as it is for a ny graduate who comes out of a secure university environment and suffers confidence erosion when there is no work to be found. Mike was a ble to find a suitable job but he describes the situation as simply that "I was lucky and Myra was not." Myra 's time is now very occupied with raising two lively youngsters, Jen nifer, nearly two, and Jonath a n, just seven months old. She ha s her own art studio in the house, complete with a kiln, a nd she occasionally finds time to

The Department continues to develop its rural emphasis through variou s ef forts. Professor Eleanor Cebotarev a t tended and directed a workshop entitled "Quality of Rural Family Life" , No vember, 1981, in Costa Rica.

create ceramics and painted china for friends . When asked whether she finds her sociology courSes useful in her role as homem a ker and mother she respond ed by saying that she probably draws on them unconsciously . Mike felt the same about applying his studies to his present job. As far as long-term pl a ns for ap plying their education, Myra plans to rea pply for Teacher's College when her children are older. Mike ha s considered ta king further courses, but pointed out tha t it's difficult to co-ordinate study with shift work. Neither Mike nor

Myra regret attending university, and they will encourage their children to consider it as a positive option when they grow up. The Coons emphasized that Socia l Sci ence graduates should not consid er a degree a ticket to a job but as just one of the steps towards a career. Consider ing th e recent predictions about higher unemployment a nd a slack economy, new graduates should take heed.

Professor Linda Gerber and her assista nt, Joanne Robinson , are responsible for this im portant effort. Two major SSHRCC grants were received on the basis of 1981 applica tions. Professor MacKinnon ha s a two year grant for a study of "Affective Dynamics and Role Analysis," a nd Professor Victor Ujimoto has a two year grant for the study of "Aging Ethnic Minorities in Canada." Profes sor Stanley Barrett has a one-year Sec retary of State grant for a .s tudy of "Ethnicity in Canada." Dr. Menzie's recently published book , Sociological Theory in Use, shows that the scientific method can be a pplied to soc iologist's own work. His book examines the gap between theory and research through a content analysis of 680 randomly selected journal arti cles pu blished in the 1970s. His book is recommended for anybody who wants a quick review of wha t's currently in the jou rna Is. The Department admitted eight new graduate students a t the beginning of the Fall semester, 1981 , and four at the beginning of the Winter semester,

1982. In a ll, there a re presently 19 gradu ate students enrolled. Graduate st udents in the program now are located on level 8 of the Arts Building in spacc shared with the Departments of Eco nomics and Political Studies.

Tribute to a Biostitute

Professor Keith Ronald, who refuses to answer to the title "Doctor" or "Dean" although proud of his McGill Ph.D., is the first Dean of the College of Biologi cal Science, having been appointed on July 13, 1971. His interests have lain in marine biology and aquatic sciences since the age of 12 when, sailing midwater coal burning trawlers to Iceland in his fa ther's fleet, he began taking "odd things" to the National Museum of Wales, in Cardiff, for identification. At that time his wildlife interests were centred on poaching for rabbits with ferrets, and pursuing other athletes on the Rugby field and cricket balls in the outfield. Later, such was his prowess that he played Rugger for Swansea, the Army, and was capped for his country. In the Blitz in Cardiff and Swansea, as an ambulance guide, he had many narrow escapes. One night parachute mines blew up the building in which he was staying on the second floor and he was found, in bed , on the sidewalk, framed by a window - asleep. The war progressed and , while in the Royal Artillery, he was variously in the Education Corps, Police, Radar, Gunnery and worked on predictors. Being a first-class shot, particularly with anti-aircraft guns, in one sea shoot he brought down two barrage balloons and scored a direct hit on a destroyer regrettably it was French (the balloons were English however). Coming to Canada through the Canadian Pacific Immigra tion Scheme he was farmed out for $40 per month, subsisting on maple syrup and bread in the Eastern Townships, and his love of driving Clydesdales cost him two brok en arms and a broken leg. At McGill, summers were ab sorbed by jobs in forest biology and as a

From Mount Royal, he came, out of control, down through rush hour traffic into the Cote de Neige where a kindly police man, seeing wha t was happening, stopped the traffic but said not a word of reprimand, perhaps wisely as Ronald was brought to a dead stop by crashing into the stone walls of the Convent of the Sacred Heart. When with the Fisheries Research Board in Nova Scotia, rallying, as a navigator, gave him the Eastern Cana dian Championships in 1964 and, as driver, in 1967, he became national champion. The Shell 4,000-mile rally and others, with John Slade, sa w them roll five cars and, in subsequent years, he took to driving Kamakazi cars these precede all other cars in a rally. Prior to t his it had been motorcycle racing of Black Shadows and Phantoms on the Pendine Sands and, when in the Canadian Army , motor bike scrambles and professional bike racing kept his

adventurous spirit alive. Now he enjoys "messing about in boats." Guelph first saw Keith Ronald in 1958, once more in 1962 and in 1964 he came back to Zoology into an expand ing Fish and Wildlife department and with thoughts of marine biology. In 1971 the new College of Biological Science was formed and his first request as Dean was for 32 new faculty posi tions-he received seven. Being a leader he admires it in others; William C. Winegard for his academic leadership, Percy Smith for wonderfully construc tive discussions, Air Vice Marshalis Bert Millward and Wilf Bean for hav ing "hearts of gold" and "guiding the University and giving their experience." He is justifiably proud of founding the Huntsman Marine Laboratory where "21 universities talk to each other." We are proud of his conserva tion of endangered species; of the work he has done in eight of the Mediterra nean countries; in all the Scandinavian countries, and of his international re nown. His Fry Medal and Sigmi XI Awards, and fellowships in the Institute of Biology and the Royal Geographic Society, are proof of his scholarship as are his six books, five films, chapters in books, innumerable papers published and read and approximately 35 public lectures a year, ranging from frontiers of science with the American Associa tion for Advancement of Science, Royal Canadian Institute, to equally impor tant Guelph Classical Society presenta tions. He is teacher, researcher and ad ministrator whose love of students is obvious, being always available through his open-door policy and his reguiar appearances at, and constant support of, student functions. Through example and leadership the CBS has become an international and national force in just over ten years through the wise counsel of a jovial, brilliant and powerful man-Keith Ronald. 0

From

the Dean

Dr. Janet Wardlaw.

As I write this newsletter in mid-Febru ary, I am pleased to be able to tell you of the appointment of Dr. Montrose S. "Monty" Sommers as the new chair man of the Department of Consumer Studies. A professor in the Faculty of Management Studies at the University of Toronto, he will join us on July I . Dr. Sommers has contributed sig nifica ntly to the development of con sumer behaviour as a research area and, over the past ten years, has been a friend of the Department of Consumer Studies and interested in its progress. Professor Sommers succeeds Professor Richard Vosburgh, the first cha irman of the Department of Con

sumer Studies, who completed his sec ond five-year term as chairman of the depa rtment on June 30, 1981. When he joined us in 1970, Professor Vosburgh took the responsibility for developing the concept behind the establishment of the Department of Consumer Studies. He and his coIleagues have established a unique and significant academic pro gram in Consumer Studies and ha ve developed links with government, indus try and consumers essential to the aca demic and research programs of the Department, and significant in terms of career opportunities for graduates. Professor Trevor Watts has served as acting chairman of the Department of Consumer Studies since July I, 1981 and wiIl continue in this role until Professor Sommers arrives. In the Department of Family Stud ies, Professor Bruce Ryan is serving as acting chairman while Professor Rich ard Barham is on administrative leave prior to returning to the Department for a second term as chairman. Their col leagues and I are grateful to the acting chairmen who shoulder heavy respon

sibilities (and hopefully enjoy new ex periences) so that the life of their de partments can proceed in these interim periods. An opportunity is near at hand for a visit to the College and the University of Guelph-Alumni Weekend '82, June 18-20. I hope we will be able to wel come many of you to this event. 0

Box 9, Yendi, NIR Gha na, West Africa. I have accepted a position as a women's extension worker and am ap plying my nutritional training in the Tatale region of northeastern Ghana.

At present, I find the people ex tremely friendly, the job challenging and the culture inviting. This is my first employment opportunity as a nu tritionist and I feel very keen and excited. I realistically hope that my two-year placement will somehow im prove family health here, and that my training of counterparts will indeed negate the need for future out-of-coun try involvement. . Sincerely, Darlene Ballam, FACS '81. Darlene is interested in making contact with Guelph graduates current-

Iy working in Ghana . As of Sept. 25, 1981 she had made contact with five such grads, all involved in development and working through CUSO or CIDA in areas of agriculture and nutrition. Rosemary Clark, '59, Assistant Direc tor, Alumni Programs, has forwarded Darlene a list of alumni currently In Ghana . We wish Darlene every success in contacting alumni, and hope that a Ghana-based alumni reunion, an ambi tious undertaking, will be an enjoyable event for everyone in attendance . We look forward to hearing more from her. 0

Spirit of '82

Within the College of Family and Con sumer Studies there are four active clubs-Child Studies, Consumer Stud ies, Family Studies, and Nutrition. These clubs offer, throughout each se mester, opportunities for students to meet and discuss their mutual interests, and feature special programs and speak ers. In 1979, a Student Activities Fund was established by the Mac-FACS Alumni Association. Under the guid ance and direction of the Association, financial assistance is made available to student clubs. This fund, of approxi mately $1,000, is available to clubs needing financial assistance for special activities which they wish to pursue. Jn order for the monies to be made available, the clubs must submit a writ ten request to the Association's board of directors prior to their November meet ing, attend the November meeting to discuss their project and submit a fol low-up report on the project in April. This year the Association provided a portion of this fund to assist with two programs-the Consumer Studies Club's computer workshop and the Child Studies Club presentation of "Curious George," by Theatre Erewhon at the University Centre in April.

FACS Week '82

The them e of Fi\CS Week '82 , January 18-23, was "We're 4 FACS." The Fi\CS Wee k committee designed a very successful program of activities with noon-hour speakers, a sub luncheon , cross-country skiing, a sundae-making party, a pizza party, a pub, a "No-tal ent" Show and the Annual FACS Week Dinner. A rarnc was held during the week with proceeds going to the organi zation HELP . Cindy Myslik, '82, and her FACS Week committee are to be congratulat ed for a very successful event. Every year during FACS Week the Cons umer Studies Club offers a work shop to acquaint interested students with a specific topic relating to the business world. This year the Club continued the tradition by organizing a computer workshop. The workshop, "Looking Ahead: The Impact of Computers on Business," was presented on January 23, from 9:00 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. and was followed by a luncheon. Despite the bad weather, 32 people attended. Everyone who attended the work shop found it educational and very worthwhile. 0

FACS '82 Grads The Mac-FACS Alumni Association hosted a wine and cheese reception for the FACS '82 graduating class on Feb ruary 2, in the Alma Mater Room in the University Centre. Association Pres ident , Mary (Webber) Henry , ' 65, wel comed the students, informed them of the many activities of the Associa tion, and encouraged them to keep in touch with their Alma Mater as they pursue their various professions. Friday, June 4, 1982 will be con vocation day for more than 200 cl ass of ' 82 graduates from the College of Fami ly and Consumer Studies, who, during the past four years, have generated much enthusiasm as they pursued their studies and involved themselves with campus activities. On Wednesday, June 2, some 75 School of Hotel and Food Administra-

SCIMP

Editor: Bob Winkel

From

the Dean

Dr. Jack MacDonald.

"HELP!"

When editor Bob Winkel asked me, several weeks ago, if [ would provide him with a message for this issue, I was happy to accept. Since then I have wondered what it is that you might wish to read; what particular topic would be sufficiently interesting and informative to form my first message in SCIM P as Dean of the College. Such things as enrolment numbers, new undergraduate programs, faculty research, graduate programs, all were considered and set aside for future issues. No, the single most important message I could think of appears above- "HELPI" " H elp" is not just the title of a Lennon and McCartney song, nor the cry heard by my secretary when the paperwork reaches disastrous depths on my desk. "Help" is the essence of what our relationship, you the alumni and we th e University, is all about. We, in the University of Guelph, Itke to think that your experiences while at University have been of some help to you in your subsequent activities, in spite of claims to the contrary by the press. Indeed, we take considerable pride in the accomplishments of our graduates, whether such accomplish ments take the form of personal happi ness and fulfillment or professional suc cess. Our help to you is, admittedly, difficult to measure and, sometimes, even difficult to identify. This is decid edly not so in the case of help we seek, and receive, from you.

What forms can such assistance take') Perhaps the most obvious aid you give us is financial assistance. Without being too crass, I urge you to give as much as you can to the Alma Mater Fund and to identify how you wish your dona tion to be spent. Your contri bu tions are vital, particularly to assist with much-needed scholarships (we'll have more to say of this in a later issue). Another area of assistance, largely limited to those of you who live close to Guelph, is active participation in your College Alumni Association. It is most heartening to follow the efforts of the CPS alumni group as they work to assist us in building a strong College in a strong University. I am sure that Barry Stahlbaum, '74, as president of your Association, would welcome your involvement-it's personally rewarding as well as being very important to the College. However important financial as sistance and participation in alumni events may be, I believe the most im portant way in which all graduates of the University of Guelph can assist us is in sending students, both undergraduate and graduate, to participate in our programs. We have no greater need than students, and I can think of no one better placed to sell the University of Guelph than you. Strong words-need and sell - but I'm sure you recognize that the competition for students in Ontario is substantial. All the colleges at Guelph need good students-deserve good students-and we need more stu dents than we presently are able to attract. We offer quality programs in all our colleges and we have a friendly, personal approach to education. I urge you to be aggressive in promoting your University and to do so with the confi dence that students who attend the University of Guelph are obtaining a fine education in a fine University. As the Beatles said, "Won't you please, please help me')" 0

Chaired

Bob Gage, in his alumni chair, and Duk Pol, acting chairman, Department of Physics. At a recent party held by the Depart ment of Physics, retiring Professor Bob Gage , O AC '49, was presented with an alumni chair and a suitable memento skilfully crafted by the Department's machine shop. Bob Gage obtaincd his M.Sc. from Guelph in 1952 and his Ph.D., in 1958, from Iowa State Uni versity . He began his career at Guelph in 1951, taking time off later for the Ph.D. H is main interest was biophysics and, in recent years, he was in charge of radia tion safety on campus. Among his hobbies, Bob includes gliding and barber-shop quartet si"nging. His interest in gliding is partly the result of his duty with the RCAF dur ing World War Two. No doubt a good deal of hi s time will now be spent pursuing this hobby and teaching this delightful sport to others bent on imitat ing the eagles. 0

(GWP)2 Second to None A graduate education in physics second to none in the province is how Professor Duk Poll, acting chairman of Guelph's Department of Physics, describes the new collaborative graduate studies pro gram with the University of Waterloo. The Guelph-Waterloo Program for Graduate Work in Physics, known as (GW P)2, involves over 50 physicists from the two institutions , and a propor 1 ionately wide spectrum of areas of study ranging from astrophysics to opt ics, polymers, energy storage and statis tical mechanics. Professor Don Brodie, of the Uni versity of Waterloo, is the director and he works with a joint co-ordinating committee made up of the chairmen of the two departments -Professor Poll and Professor Neil Isenor from Water loo; the departments' graduate offic ers - Professor R obin Ollerhead, Guelph, and Professor Ian Dagg, Water loo; and two departmental representa tives from each university- P rofessors Don Sullivan and Ken Jeffrey of Guelph, and Professors T ony Anderson and Raj Pathria of Waterloo. Professor Brodie, whose research interests are in semi-conductors , thin films and solar energy, says the final

proof of the program will be in numbers of students attracted. T hus far, over 200 prospective graduate students have made enquiries on the basis of posters sent to all the physics departments in the country. The collaborative program al ready has 45 students enrolled, but most of these commenced their stud ies before (G W P)2 was inaugurated. The project, on the boards for less than two years, received the go-ahead from the Ontario Council on G raduate Studies last spring. Since the graduate programs of both physics departments had been favorably appraised and as sessed by the Council, final approval was relatively straightforward. Professor Brodie notes some of the benefits of co-operative education-the full range of courses, the efficiency of operation and the new research projects which will no doubt be generated by extended contacts among physicists. Professor Poll points out that the collaborative program represents a move toward rationalization of the system, a consideration that is receiving high pri ority in Ontario post-secondary educa tion circles. "Although we have achieved a de gree of rationalization, we have, in addi-

Earl MacNaughton Honoured

tion, gained the best possible education for our students," he says, "and that is our main concern." Logistics of the venture follow the already established lead of the co-opera tive chemistry graduate program with W aterloo. The existing shuttle service has been expanded to take students back and forth to classes, and the courier service now involves physics and chemis try departments . Interested students apply directly to Professor Brodie and then are assessed by the admissions committee. Once the choice of supervisor has been made, the gradl,late student is enrolled a t either GueJph or Waterloo, and takes the M .Sc. or Ph.D. degree from the univer sity of enrolment. Program admittance regulations meet the academic require men ts of both u niversi ties. Administration of the program is handled by Professor Brodie, in consul tation with the co-ordinating committee, while admissions a re processed by a committee made up of Guelph profes sors, Robin OUerhead and Don Sullivan, and Waterloo professors, Ian Dagg and Tony Anderson. Further information on (G W P)2 is available from: Director, Department of Physics, University of Wa terloo, 200, University Avenue W., Waterloo, On tario.O

In Memoriam

The University community was sad dened by the news of the death of retired Professor Ted Newton, Decem ber 17. Professor Newton was chairman of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics during the Department's first nine years. He formed his Department with a handful of members from the old De partment of Physics and Mathematics in 1966. Coming to Guelph from Atom ic Energy of Canada Limited, Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories, with an outstanding reputation and experience in mathematical physics, mathematical techniques and digital computer tech niques, he fast became a valuable mem ber of the University of Guelph com munity. Before retiring just over a year ago, Dr. Newton had served as a mem ber of Senate, on the Board of Gover At a dinner to honour him, former College of Physical Science Dean Earl Mac
